Abstract / Summary

This dataset showcases the total material requirement per capita within the Samothraki Island from 1971 to 1976. It is measured in tonnes per person per year (t/cap/yr). The database is divided by infrastructure stocks (buildings, roads, ports), construction and maintenance flows, and resource inputs (imports and local extraction). The data explain how much needed material was consumed annually to support the island's share of infrastructure and resource consumption.
