Organized Industrial Zones (OIZs) in Turkey

Organized Industrial Zones (OIZs) are a significant part of the Turkish economy and contribute to the planned development of industry. Here are some essential facts about OIZs in Turkey:

Definition and Purpose of OIZs:
OIZs are designated industrial areas where manufacturing facilities are systematically organized and infrastructure services (such as electricity, water, natural gas, waste management, etc.) are provided collectively.
Their purposes include preventing unplanned industrial expansion, reducing infrastructure costs, protecting the environment, creating employment opportunities, and supporting regional development.

Development of OIZs:
The implementation of OIZs in Turkey began in the 1960s.
Law No. 4562 on Organized Industrial Zones provides the legal framework for their establishment and operation.

Structure and Types of OIZs:
In Turkey, there are Mixed OIZs, Specialized OIZs, and Agriculture-Based Specialized OIZs.

• Mixed OIZs host industrial facilities from various sectors.

• Specialized OIZs focus on bringing together enterprises from a specific industry (such as automotive or textiles).

• Agriculture-Based Specialized OIZs are designed for the processing and utilization of agricultural products.
  There are also Private OIZs established by private entities.

Contributions to the Economy:
OIZs play a vital role in Turkey’s industrial production and exports.
They contribute to regional development by creating employment opportunities.
They also promote environmentally conscious industrial growth.

OSBÜK (Supreme Organization of Organized Industrial Zones):
OSBÜK serves as the umbrella organization for OIZs in Turkey.
Its responsibilities include solving common issues faced by OIZs, fostering cooperation, and representing OIZs at the national and international levels.

Regional Distribution of OIZs:
OIZs are found in nearly every province of Turkey.
They are more densely concentrated in industrially developed regions, such as the Marmara and Aegean regions.
