Abstract
In order to found of urban centers in high-risk earthquake zones, these cities put potentially at hazard of serious injury. Most of the hazard effects caused by earthquakes are due to developing urban models in the fault zones. Non-considered development of urban sites in near fault sites has caused the occurrence of earthquake leads to a human tragedy. Duzce region is only a city which is placed in the vulnarability with a very high relative hazard. Duzce fault is placed in the close environment of the city and some parts of the city are established along the fault. The Duzce fault is a significant tectonic feature in the environment of the city. Duzce region has experienced destructive earthquakes during history as a consequence of locating in proximity to the Duzce fault. In this research, seismic power of Duzce fault and casualties in Duzce region is predicted based on experimental models and GIS. The results indicate that the Duzce fault could cause earthquakes with magnitude over 7.4 in the Richter scale. Sopposing seismic activity Duzce fault scenario, 987 casualties were prediscted at night of total population in Duzce region including 1267 people dead, 678 people injured.
