Niksar (Tokat), is an urban area located in a seismically active zone of Turkey. The aim of this thesis is to prepare GIS-based microzonation map of Niksar settlement area for the purpose of urban planning. Liquefaction, activity, slope, aspect, fault proximity, ground amplification and lithology are considered during the overlay analysis by using Multicriteria Decision Making Analysis (MCDA) of Simple Additive Weighing (SAW) and Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) methods. Based on the evaluations, the study area is divided into four different zones, namely, (1) areas suitable for settlement; (2) provisional settlement areas; (3) areas requiring detailed geotechnical investigation; (4) unsuitable areas. Two microzonation maps obtained from analyses are compared. Maps prepared by SAW and AHP methods are found to be consistent with each other. However, the microzonation map prepared by AHP method is recommended for the purpose of urban planning because it has the ability to check consistency itself.

GIS-based microzonation of the Niksar settlement area for the purpose of urban planning (Tokat, Turkey)
Erol, Gokhan; Topal, Tamer (2013-04-01)
Niksar (Tokat) is an urban area located in a seismically active zone of Turkey. The aim of this study is to prepare a GIS-based microzonation map of the Niksar settlement area for the purpose of urban planning. Liquefaction, activity, slope, aspect, fault proximity, ground amplification, and lithology are considered during the overlay analysis, using a multicriteria decision-making analysis of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and simple additive weighing (SAW) methods. Based on the resulting evaluatio...
Modeling and development of a groundwater management plan for Ulubey aquifer system, Uşak-Turkey
Ünsal Erdemli, Burcu; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Department of Geological Engineering (2008)
The purpose of this study is the characterization and modeling of Ulubey aquifer system which serves as an important water supply for Uşak province located in inner parts of the Aegean Region in Turkey. In recent years, growing population, accelarating industrial activities and on the contrary decreasing rainfall and contamination of the surface water resources made groundwater indispensable to meet domestic, agricultural and industrial water demands of Uşak province. All these facts necessitate the develop...
Developing a geotechnical microzonation model for Yenişehir (Bursa) settlement area
Kolat, Çağıl; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Department of Geological Engineering (2010)
The purpose of this study is to develop a geotechnical microzonation model regarding the suitability of the residential areas in Yenişehir (Bursa, Turkey), which is a currently developing settlement area in a seismically active region. For this purpose, soil properties and dynamic soil behaviors of the study area were assessed. Soil classification, soil amplification, natural soil predominant period, resonance phenomena and liquefaction potential of the study area were evaluated using borehole data and micr...
Seismic microzonation of Erbaa (Tokat-Turkey) loccated along eastern segment of The North Anatolian Fault Zone (nafz)
Akın, Müge; Topal, Tamer; Department of Geological Engineering (2010)
Turkey is one of the most earthquake prone countries in the world. The study area, Erbaa, is located in a seismically active fault zone known as North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ). Erbaa is one of the towns of Tokat located in the Middle Black Sea Region. According to the Earthquake zoning map of Turkey, the study area is in the First Degree Earthquake Zone. The city center of Erbaa (Tokat) was previously settled on the left embankment of Kelkit River. After the disastrous 1942 Niksar-Erbaa earthquake (Mw = ...
Assessment of water supply impacts for a mine site in Western Turkey
Ağartan, Elif; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Department of Geological Engineering (2010)
A certain amount of water is required for a mine site located in Turgutlu in Western Turkey to be used in mining processes. The purpose of this study is to assess the impacts associated with meeting water supply requirements for the mine. Scope of the study involves determination of the alternative water resources, the assessment of impacts associated with each resource and the selection of the most feasible alternative in the aspect of environmental and technical effects. Three alternatives suggested to su...
