MaNet is a large-scale project based on the values and potentialities of Mastorochoria villages and is to operate in the interconnected environments. Taking into consideration the very origin notion of strategy as guidance and directing, which requires a wide range of skills and knowledge in order to define the directions and choose adequate routes for achieving the targets, the MaNet Project conceives necessary to collect and produce knowledge about the mutual influences of the external environment and the project. The tangible and intangible territorial assets are regarded as indigenous key factors that bridge knowledge derived from ‘the mnemonic’ of the territory and of its communities and various assets of the environment and can lead to a smart sustainable and inclusive development. The changes on different levels due to the economic crisis in Greece make strategic thinking an absolute priority and appropriate measures are needed to ensure ‘a transition towards more sustainable and resource efficient economic structures’ in the circumstances during and after the crisis. Local knowledge as a driver of development must be integrated according to the trends in the increasingly changing circumstances and be compatible with the value systems of the territory. Since local knowledge refers to long-standing information and practices based on the interaction with the environment and recognition of the values, it is crucial for adjusting to external and internal changes. Local traditions with a wide range of other local assets contribute to reducing vulnerability to external changes, which makes it indispensable to understand these changes and to benefit from this understanding while planning. The following Plan is to be perceived as a cohesive and holistic approach for creating a strategy that increases the chances for successful smart and inclusive growth and the implementation of further strategic plans. It is designed to help all involved actors think, act and plan strategically and to tailor the actions to the territorial characteristics (KnowHow NonProfit: 2014; PerceptionDynamics 2014; COPTA 2011:5; IISD 2007; Bryson 2004:6,15; Hirsch & O’Hanlon 1995:188-189).
