Microzonation has to be performed in municipalities with more than
30,000 inhabitants.
The purpose of the Seismic Microzonation Manual is to illustrate a microzonation
methodology developed for Turkey.
Microzonation is an efficient tool to mitigate the earthquake risk by
hazard-related land use management. Microzonation does not replace
the existing Turkish building and construction codes.
This manual has different purposes for specific Turkish authorities, public
and private enterprises:
- It should advise the responsible government agencies on how to
review and evaluate microzonation studies in Turkey performed by
private or public enterprises;
- It should inform municipal authorities about the required inputs for
and outputs from a microzonation project;
- It should define technical recommendations for private or public
companies commissioned with the execution of a microzonation
project.

This manual consists of three chapters:
- Chapter 1 is directed to the general audience (approving agency,
municipalities, commissioned enterprise, public). It gives general
definitions of terms used in this document and characterizes earthquake
effects to be taken into account when performing a microzonation
project. It also describes in general the microzonation
method developed, its relation to the Turkish Building Code, the
investigations needed to perform such a microzonation and how to
interpret the different microzonation maps in order to develop corresponding
building regulations;
- Chapter 2 is mainly directed to the enterprise commissioned to perform
the microzonation study. It gives practical and technical
guidelines as well as recommendations to perform the microzonation
method described in Chapter 1 efficiently;
- Chapter 3 describes the tasks and responsibilities of the municipalities
commissioning microzonation studies and implementing the
results of these studies into their land use management system.
