This study deals with the development of industry which is one of the most important elements of socio-economic transformation in Turkey, its structural features, spatial distribution, as well as the factors that influence it. Industrialization movements started in Turkey in 1963 with planned development moves and accelerated as a result of the impact of liberal policies implemented, in and after the year 1980. Initially, industrial activities concentrated in metropolitan areas and subsequently started to expand to other areas in the country, in time with a view on regional development as a result of factors such as development plans, applied initiative policies, current raw material resources and transport. However, there are still major disparities in the distribution of the manufacturing industry, enterprises, employees, exporting and importing within the country. In fact, according to data for 2014, 43.9% of manufacturing industrial enterprises and 47.4% of employees are concentrated in the Marmara Region. The Marmara Region is followed by the Central Anatolian Region with 13.8% and 15.3% and the Aegean Region with 14% and 15.2% in terms of manufacturing industrial enterprises and employees respectively. Furthermore, 69.7% of exports and 76.9% of imports are processed in the Marmara Region which is followed by 9.6% and 7.7% in the Aegean Region and 8.2% and 7.4% in the Central Anatolian Region respectively. In terms of provinces, industry is concentrated in Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Bursa, Konya, Gaziantep, Antalya, Adana, Kocaeli and Denizli in Turkey. These provinces consist of 64% of enterprises and 65.7% of employees in Turkey. Data acquired from Turkish Statistical Institute (Turkstat) and the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology has been assessed with the use of ArcGis program.

Industrialization is a process which is based on precise and quantitative measurements andcontains different basic changes in the economic structure of a country or region. The structural characteristicsand spatial distribution of the industrial enterprises established during the industrialization processwhich is one of the most important elements of the socio-economic transformation in Turkey withina historical process has been the object of this study. The aim of the study was to establish the positionsand significance of one thousand (1000) large industrial companies in the industry of Turkey by usingthe framework of criteria based on sales from production which have been maintained by the IstanbulChamber of Industry on a regular basis. The workplace and number of employees of the companies ona province basis, sector based division, realized exports and sales from product output, corporate entities,structures, spatial distribution and other characteristics were taken into consideration in the study.Although the thousand large scale companies in Turkey based on production output sales comprised only0.40% of the enterprises active in the industrial sector in 2012, they comprised 12% of the labor force,59.6% of product output sales and 65.2% of all exports. On a regional basis, 54% of these companiesare located in the Marmara region, 13.2% are located in Central Anatolia and 12.4% are located in theAegean region; on a province basis, 63.4% are located in Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa, Kocaeli and Ankara.A sector based division of the companies shows that 21.4% are involved in food, beverage and tobaccoprocessing, 19.6% are involved in the industry of metal goods, machinery, automotive industry, electricaltools and equipment and 16.1% deal with textiles, ready-to-wear, leather and the manufacturingof shoes.

Geographical features of a place have an important effect on distribution, location, aglomeration and a variety of industrial activities. Social and economical features, along with natural geographic features such as geology, geomorphology, climate, natural vegetation, soil properties and hydrographic features also have a significant effect on industry. This study aims at determining how physical geographic features affect categories of industrial activities in Sanliurfa. For this purpose, firstly, physical geographic features of Sanliurfa and statistical data on agricultural and industrial activities in Sanliurfa were obtained. Then, effects of these physical features on other economic activities and the influence of those features on the distribution of industrial plants and industrial activities were analysed in terms of distribution, relation and casuality principles. Geological formations in Sanliurfa province occured in Neogene and also in Quaternary. These formations mostly consist of Neogene limestone, Quaternary basaltic volcanic rocks and alluvial soils. Geomorfically Sanliurfa is a slightly hilly place with plateaus and plains. The main river in Sanliurfa is the Euphrates – the biggest river of Turkey. Naural vegatation of Sanliurfa consists of steppe. These physical geographic fetaures of Sanliurfa cause intensive agricultural activites all across the province. Sanliurfa province covers 18,584 km² and 60% of this area is convenient for agriculture. As a consequence, the majority of manucturing industry in Sanliurfa is agro-based, such as food, textile, mill and apparel industries. While these categories constitute 65.43% of all industrial enterprises, the share of enterprises involving stone, clay, glass, and concrete industry is 11%, and lumber and wood industry share is only 2%.

The development of Russian economy at the present stage is connected with a number of difficulties hindering its shift from the ineffective raw material export model to the model of sustainable industrial growth. The essential drawback of the raw material export model aimed at extraction and export of mineral resources and import of industrial and consumer goods is a low resistance of economic growth to the impact of different factors, such as the situation on global commodity and finance markets, geo-political and economic circumstances in other countries. In contrast to the raw material export model the foundation of the model of sustainable industrial growth is formed by technologically developed manufacturing industry, the so-called locomotive industries characterized by high labour productivity, which provides a rise in putting out products showing competitiveness both on home and overseas markets. Due to this fact such products will be able to meet a considerable proportion of demand on the part of enterprises and population of the country for industrial goods and consumer goods and at the same time to make up a serious share in the export structure. The article deals with two key groups of mechanisms providing the shift of Russian economy from the ineffective raw material export model to the model of sustainable industrial growth, i.e. finance and non-finance ones. The authors analyzed principle difficulties hindering these mechanisms’ implementation in Russia: inability of non-finance mechanisms to guarantee the rise in quality and competitivenessof home-made goods; disparity of resources’ volume to needs of the national economic system in investment; obvious disproportion in districting funds by types of economic activity; the use of enterprises’ own resources for investment, etc.

Snacking is the most common social activity throughout the world. People often snack on various types of foods including, fried foods, dried foods, junk foods and beverages of various kinds. The snack manufacturing industry is now becoming a key food industry throughout the world. These snack products could be classified into various types based on the raw material used and the technique used in their manufacturing. Snacking has a dual impact on human health. It helps in controlling hunger and may help reduce excess calorie intake. On the otherhand, it can lead to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and hypertension, if consumed uncontrolably and prepared with unhealthy ingredients. Thus, understanding the role of snack and development of healthy snack is equally necessary to determine the appropriate status of snack and snacking product in the human diet. The present review aims to classify the various types of snacks into different categories based on the ingredients and techniques used. It also highlights the impact of snacks on human health and research progress made to develop healthy snacks.
