In this study, it was aimed to investigate some properties of the soils around the Van organized industrial zone. Different six sampling points within each direction were determined in the north, south, and east directions of industrial zone. The total set of 54 soil samples were taking from 0-20 cm depth in different three positions as 0.2 km, 1.0 km and 2.0 km far away to pollutant source. GPS readings were recorded for each sampling points. Generally, electrical conductivity (EC) and lime (CaCO3) content means decreased while the distance to industrial zone increased in soils. In soil samples the highest pH, EC and lime content means as 9.19, 326.70 μmhos cm-1 and 42.34 % in 0.2 km far away to industrial zone; the lowest means of these parameters in 2.0 km far away to pollutant source were obtained. Van Organized Industrial Zone operates in the paint production, tile adhesive and joint filler, packaging cardboard and bag manufacturing, vehicle plate manufacturing, PVC and drilling pipes, styrofoam and thermal insulation materials manufacturing/foam packaging manufacturing, food, electricity, marble processing, facade cladding, textile clothing, detergent and cosmetic products, construction, petroleum products, paper and napkin production, furniture, metal, automotive, cable and plastic production sectors. It is thought that the waste materials released to the environment from these industrial activities cause changes in the soil properties studied.
