Information and communication are two terms that one often comes across
when referring to the concept of “digital environment”. This
environment we name internet constitutes the digital representation of
a world created by people who have access to it and the means (personal
computers, internet connection) to connect.
When internet came along in our country in the late 1980s, the initial
excitement was followed by suspicion that this new form of
communication could threaten the ability and frequency of direct human
contact between the members of a community. As technology developed
rapidly, this kind of suspicion changed to thinking on how we could
make the most of the huge amount of information gathered in the
world-wide web.
In these developments, local administrations are called to
adapt their way of operating to provide services in the most
responsible way. We hope that the homepage of the Municipality of
Philippi will constitute the gate for its citizens to access the
services provided by our municipality and a new way of expressing their
thoughts on every matter that interests them. For the visitor, we hope
it will be a way of learning the history of the area, including
suggestions of touristic interest and cultural events taking place. And
for every user of the global community using the internet, the proof
that human contact can exist in every new form of communication as part
of human community evolvement.
So, we welcome you to our homepage and we hope you will enjoy
a pleasant and informative tour around the Municipality of Philippi.
Mayor of Philippi
Lazaros Tsatalmpasidis
