Tradesmen are the main part of commercial enterprises. With this survey conducted in Adapazarı, the current problems of the tradesmen, their suggestions and expectations from the profession in order to get a better position were revealed by face to face inquiry and evaluated. This study should be considered important in terms of researching local problems of the cities where universities are located and producing solutions. It is found that tradesmen find the incentives and supports of the municipalities very inadequate and do not evaluate the material and moral opportunities of the Chamber of Tradesmen and Craftsmen during experiencing problems. And tradesmen want to maintain their commercial activities and socio- economic culture by earning enough to make a living in a peaceful and healthy way. With the Chi-Square independence tests, the relations between various categories and “how much future she sees in her occupation” were tested in order to understand the decision of whether the tradesman will continue her profession or not.
