Summary
A data file is compiled for studies of seismicity, seismic risk and earthquake prediction in the North Anatolian fault zone region. It contains 522 earthquakes occurred in and near the Anatolian fault zone in Turkey during the last 60 years. This file is used for statistical estimation of magnitudefrequency relationship, the upper magnitude limit and return periods for various magnitudes. The cumulative strain release pattern based on the file is also presented in time and space. In addition, the intensity distribution of earthquakes felt in the Anatolian fault zone and adjacent areas is considered. Maximum intensity map is computed on the basis of observed and estimated intensities.
