Creating microzonation maps of Adapazari province by using georaphic information systems

In this study, we aimed to show the vitality of geodynamic data archives fort he planning of settlement areas and earthquake risks.In many advanced countries, this geodynamic data archives using for microzonation maps that are preparing by using Georaphic Information Systems (GIS). Recently, the fuzzy logic systems are using for classification of soil groups in city and countries and we can show them on the microzonation maps.This study applied on the Adapazari province that exposed many damages in 1999 Earthquake. Totally 2000drilling and 280 seismic data were collected and transferred into digital form. The soil groups were classificated by fuzzy logic system and microzonation maps were prepared by using GIS. Microzonation maps are show that most areas in the study area have Z-3 and Z-4 kind of soil group. It can be explain by the high ground water levels on the under consideration areas.
