Abstract-The trends of abandonment of mountainous areas for coastal and urban areas and depopulation are considered as additional effects of urbanization and the dominance of tertiary sector activities in Greece.The basic target of this paper is the specification of strategic directions to an integrated development of the mountainous areas through global measures of zoning policies and proposals of specialized productive activities, according to a proper typology that characterises the differentiation of regional problems, needs and perspectives of those areas.In this direction, certain measures of Land Policy for the Integrated Development of mountainous areas, which aim to maximize the potential of these areas in the fields of agriculture, stockbreeding and forestry, are proposed.The study finally sets some strategic directions for integrated development of mountainous areas through a specific spatial planning, protected natural environment and the establishment of new management bodies for mountainous areas.Index Terms-Transportation system, infrastructure system, integrated developments.

Abstract-Sustainable development of semi-mountainous regions supports an increase in economic investments in order to profit the residents of region, without however having drastic negative influences on the natural environment. Green Infrastructure (GI) can be broadly defined as a strategically planned network of high quality natural and semi-natural areas with other environmental features, which is designed and managed to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services and protect biodiversity. The objective of this study is the specification of strategic directions for an integrated development of semi-mountainous areas through global measures in relation to zoning policies and also proposals regarding specialized production activities, according to a proper typology that characterizes the differentiation of regional problems, needs, and perspectives. The sustainable development of the semi-mountainous areas of Greece targets regional and social cohesion in the framework of especial strategic targets.
