Clothing is one of the fundamental needs of individuals. Neighbourhood markets are one of the distribution channels through which the consumers meet their clothing needs. This study was conducted to determine the purchasing behaviour of female consumers at neighbourhood markets. In collecting the research data, a survey form containing questions oriented towards subjects such as demographic characteristics, preference reasons for neighbourhood markets, the specifics sought in products purchased and difficulties encountered in purchasing clothing was used. The survey form was applied to 85 female consumers in Eskisehir, one of the larger urban centres of Turkey. Research results were obtained by statistical analyses of data.
