description Today the cities both in industrialised countries and developing countries face with many kinds of city problems like crime. As crime is a human-specific incident it ranges in areas. In this study it is aimed to assign how areas are a factor for crimes and why are the crime rates in some areas higher. For that purpose, distribution maps of the robbery crime in Beydağı police stations’s area of responsibility are prepared according to type of crime with the help of GIS (Geographic Information System) program. The data for the study is taken from the crime records ofthe beydağı police station for the year 2010. In the end the relation between the distribution of robbery crime in the area of Beydağı police station’s responsibility and the population is put forth and it is seen that especially the central business district stands out. The methods and findings in this study will help to make quick, effective and straight analyses. Besides, seeing that there is a rising crime rate in some areas it contributes to associate crime with geographical areas, avoid crime and provide city safety.
