The sudden and continuous changes in conditions that constitute our current socioeconomic reality made the need to redefine our development options more obvious. In the present study we are in search of regional development actions for a particular mountainous region, the new Municipality of Metsovo, based on the fact that a fundamental component in searching of the best development actions is envisioning an alternative future. These actions are identified by the dreams, the aspirations, the fears and the needs of the municipality's residents. Grounded theory was used to guide the collection and analysis of data. The research tools that were used, are: participant observation, in depth interviews, focus groups and content analysis. The analysis of research data highlighted the different representations of future development according to the specific conditions of each region, as well as the differentiation between preferred and expected development goals.
