However, a stand-alone GIS package is not by itself capable neither of solving problems, nor of providing the correct answer to specific questions.
The specifically developed software, called PROANA was named after the Greek initials Prototype Analysis Anaglyfou (Terrain), therefore, was developed within the framework of a Doctorate Thesis (VASSILOPOULOU, 1999) in the Faculty of Geology of the University of Athens. The aim of this thesis was to study the recent geodynamic evolution of the Northern Argolis Peninsula based on terrain analysis by G.I.S development, and the use of Remote Sensing Data. A large number of data was compiled and new layers and maps related to the terrain analysis, as well as a relational database, were produced.
