Abstract: The state of a region's development may be expressed through its 'Image', an index describing the region's socioeconomic conditions. In this context a region may be seen as a 'production unit' and its Image as the outcome of its development process. To improve the conditions of its less developed regions, the State takes measures which may be seen as disorder factors for their development process. Hence, statistical process control techniques may be used in studying regional development issues. In this paper the concept of an area's Image and a number of SPC techniques are presented and applied to the case of Greece.
