Fair Organisation And Its Geographical Distribution In Turkey

Fairs present important functions and services in Turkey, as it does all around the World. Composing the realms of fairs, they are determined by taking the importance and functionality of the fairground into consideration. The basic one is the facilities the Earth presents and the Earth itself, even when the variety of criteria is taken into account. The geographical advantages and disadvantages of the fairground are taken into account without hesitation to name a place as the centre of the fair. In this regard, such criteria as strategic location, history, culture, social life, transportation, commerce, industry, tourism, urbanization, rural condition etc. should be considered so as to call that particular place a fairground or a fair centre. As known, a fair is considered as an organisation where the products of a specific or, sometimes, of various sectors are exhibited in a given period of time. These organisations are held nationally and internationally. In this project, the distribution of fairs which are held all around Turkey and the reasons for and results of this distribution are thoroughly studied, having evaluated features of Turkey above. In addition, it was attempted to evaluate the distribution of provinces and the regions with a short history of how the fair organisation sector grew, considering the figures of 2012.
