This paper is structured for the purpose of examining the relevant geopotentials of the local industry in Ljig, and its possible future positioning and development. Thus we analyzed its development in the past, and its importance (until now) in the overall economy of the Ljig municipality. We examined a number of indicators (employment, national income), and we pointed out a number of fundamental factors (natural, and man-made) which influenced the growth and organization of industry here. In order to see in more detail the role and function of the industry in the exploitation of local possibilities, and to find the relationships and connections in this geospace, we analyzed the industrial branches represented in Ljig, and, also, the characteristics of the spatial forms (zones, localities) in which the productive work is done. The studied spatial-developmental characteristics of the industry are a framework for defining the potentials, problems and limitations, so as to see how the industry should be developed and placed in the future, how its growth may be sustainable (as an integral part of the overall sustainable development of the Ljig municipality) and how this territory may be integrated into the wider region.
