The main goal of this research is to develop regression models which can be used in the development of proxy-based Vs30 maps for Türkiye, so that the effect of site conditions can be considered in rapid earthquake damage and loss estimations. Using the dataset provided by AFAD, and the geological and topographical classifications developed within the project UDAP-Ç-20-01, this study explores quantile regression and logistic regression models to obtain probabilistic conditional estimations of Vs30 depending on geological and topographical properties. The geological class is found to be the prominent estimator for Vs30, and the topographical gradient contributes to the predictions secondarily.
