Abstract

The study, conducted with the utmost rigour, aims to reveal the contributions of organised industrial zones to regional development and their positive/negative effects. To ensure the reliability of the findings, the authors created the 'Organized Industrial Zones Perception Scale'. This scale was applied to a robust sample of 600 participants, all over the age of 18, residing in Arsin, Akçaabat, and Beşikdüzü, three districts in Trabzon where organised industrial zones are located. The data obtained from this comprehensive field study were meticulously analysed using the SPSS23 package program. The findings, robustly supported by the data, confirm the relationship between organised industrial zones and regional development.
