Abstract: Local communities' expectations and perceptions provide fundamental directions for sustainability development. Bearing in mind the relevance of these premise, the current article intends to assess Portuguese emigrants' intentions in public policies' territorial growth of low-density territories. Contextually, this investigation has used direct and indirect research tools and methods as a questionnaire and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Throughout this research, it was possible to understand that public policies do not consider it in the most needed areas of Portugal's mainland since are more related to tourism development and a rural lifestyle.
