This paper suggests a specific methodology to geographically locate and delimit local production systems, with an application to the leather and shoe industry of the State of São Paulo. Themethodology consists on the elaboration of location Gini coefficients (GL) for four-digit industries at municipal or micro region level from data in RAIS/MTE and PIA/IBGE. These location Gini coefficients indicate the branches of industry which are spatially concentrated. For the latter industries, location quotients (QL) by state micro regions are used in order to identify local production systems within these industries. The QL data, combined with data on the share of the micro region in total industry employment and number of industrial plants in the leather and shoe industry of the State of São Paulo, showunequivocally that there are three main local production systems in the leather and shoe industry of the state: Franca, Birigui and Jaú. On the basis of field research work, these threelocal systems are briefly characterized in regard to their location, territorial extension, production structure and integration, local institutions and forms of firm cooperation.
