Abstract: This paper evaluates the characteristics of local economic development from a citizen’s perspective. Its principal goal is to help the authorities of the Greek local government to measure their performance in economic development actions, while encouraging citizens' participation. Data were collected with the assistance of a specific questionnaire and analysed with Multiple Correspondence Analysis, a multidimensional statistical methodology. With this methodology, the most intense characteristics have emerged, producing an immediate extraction and presentation of the SWOT analysis' elements.
