This thesis, titled "Χωροθέτηση χερσαίων αιολικών πάρκων με τη χρήση Πολυκριτηριακής Ανάλυσης και Συστημάτων Γεωγραφικών Πληροφοριών: Η περίπτωση της Τήνου" (Siting of Onshore Wind Farms using Multi-Criteria Analysis and Geographical Information Systems: The Case of Tinos), was written by Ioannis Triantafyllidis and supervised by Dimitra Vagiona, Assistant Professor at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

The thesis explores the use of Multi-Criteria Analysis and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for the siting of onshore wind farms, with a focus on the island of Tinos, Greece. It examines the current state of renewable energy sources (RES) and wind energy in the global, European, and Greek energy markets.

The thesis identifies and analyzes various criteria for the siting of onshore wind farms, including technical, environmental, and social factors. It also presents a methodology for the siting of wind farms using GIS and Multi-Criteria Analysis, which involves the exclusion of incompatible areas, the definition of minimum distances, and the evaluation of suitable areas based on various criteria.

The methodology is applied to the island of Tinos, and the results are presented and discussed. The thesis concludes by summarizing the main findings and highlighting the importance of using a systematic and multi-criteria approach for the siting of onshore wind farms.
