Abstract. Fractal analysis is a powerful tool to study the nature of
galaxy distribution. The use of multifractal analysis of the galaxy
distribution for the investigation of the transition to homogeneity in the
Universe is reviewed. This analysis shows that the Universe is homogeneous
over scales larger than about 80h-1 to
100h-1 Mpc.
