1. THE CONCEPT – INDUSTRIAL ESTATE 1.1. The phrase "industrial estate", is frequently used and alternatively known as designated area - industrial district, park, special economic zone in the industrial development activity. The attractiveness and competitiveness of the industrial estates are much dependable on geographical area with high developed infrastructure facilities provided for and thus a conducive environment is created to attract any businesses of an industrial nature from small and medium scale to the large enterprises. 1.2. World Bank defines industrial estates as: Specified areas zoned for industrial activity in which infrastructure such as roads, power and other utility services are provided to facilitate the growth of industries. The industrial estates should include at least two of the common features i.e. geographically delimited area, can be physically secured; provision of high quality infrastructure facilities; single management or administration; and separate customs area and streamlined procedures . 1.3. The main priority of industrial estate is to attract high value added industries, where it would create an interest to the prospect investors to invest by establishing their new or expansion and diversification project in the manufacturing operations and other related businesses. Furthermore, several economists and scholars believed that industrial estate can positively influence the socio-economic development and industrialisation of the region. 1.4. An eminent economist, Michael E. Porter found that location characteristics play an important role in the success of a region's industries.

...conomically beneficial trade and technology development. In this regard the Epilogue uses sound logic to plausibly answer the wealth question. On the other hand, Mr. Diamond uses the same "national competition" thesis to purport that Asia's large, centralized governments were conspicuously growth-inhibitive. This argument would not seem to pass muster given what we have learned about the role of governments. Professor Wright's slides state that "Centralization may limit predation and even allow for growth" as "centralized predation = incentives to maximize the haul " This clearly refutes Mr. Diamond's argument that centralized, monopolistic Asian governments impaired societal advances. Thus, Guns, Germs, and Steel can scantly explain why China and the Middle East remain emerging markets while Western and Northern Europe enjoy significantly larger national wealth.
In recent years, the efforts of clusters are subject to a strong academic and political enthusiasm. The term "cluster" is fashionable and attractive concept. Indeed, in a context of intense competition between countries and regions, there is a questioning of the competitive positioning of territories that have to adapt to a carrier opportunities and uncertainties of globalization.

It is also used to determine the economy of the cities, states and nation as any change or trend will change the supply and demand hence; changing the economy. The government agencies uses this data for strategic planning in their respective branches as well as business uses this data for their strategic planning in the business purposes.

The factor of production called land most often comprises the natural and raw materials which are used in production and are at the disposal of the production facility.(2)
