In this paper, a crass-section analysis of the composition and relative performances of mamufacturing industries in 12 sub-sectors across Turkey's provinces for year 2000 is presented by making use of certain indicators. Particular features of the Turkish industrial geography and spatial distribution of the industries are investigated on the basis of 35 variables for the 44 provinces. The findings suggest that there exist an unbalanced formation and polarizations in spatial distribution of industry, and that disparities in basic industrial activities are at huge extents. Pertaining to such essential industrial indicators either as number of businesses and employment in manufacturing industries or as industrial value added and exports, superiority of the traditionally industrial provinces and their hinterlands is very obvious. Particularly Istanbul in aspect of almost all the industrial indicators is a dominant province departing from the rest. It is observed that the weights of the provinces representing the newly emerging industrial locations in manufacturing industry are increasing. Beyond a few- sectors, it could not be asserted that sectoral specialization and diversification have spread over all the geography of Turkey. The findings of this research which is accomplished within the limits of a cross-section analysis should be cautiously interpreted as there are a few studies which work spatial analyses of industrial activities in Turkey yet. In this field, which displays multi dimensional and dynamic features, number of the studies which combine the sectoral and spatial analyses wÄ°th different methods and approaches need to increase.

Key words: Industrial geography, spatial distribution of industries, industrial agglomeration, industrial clusters, recently emerging industrial locations.
