Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a computer system for storing, integrating, analyzing and displaying data which are tied to a geographic location. In this study, an attempt is made to demonstrate a promotion model for Turkish natural stones by using GIS as a tool. To achieve this goal, GIS techniques have been utilized to store, integrate, analyze and display the various physico-mechanical, technological and locational properties of 74 different types of Turkish natural stones.
