Özet
The importance of urban planning for sustainable cities is indispensable. For this, the preparation ofgeotechnical maps, especially, comes to the agenda. Liquefaction susceptibility mapping is importantfor towns located in first-degree earthquake regions. This study investigated the susceptibility toliquefaction in a possible earthquake in Nazilli (Aydın) county considering geologic and geotechnicalstudies. In line with this, firstly drilling was completed at 110 points, with experiments performed onlocation and geotechnical properties determined in soil samples taken during this process. Generally, thecounty is founded on alluvial soils with groundwater very close to the surface. This situation makes itimportant to determine the liquefaction status of the town during a possible earthquake. The liquefactionpotential (FS) of the study area was determined with the simplified SPT based method and additionallythe liquefaction potential index (LPI) was calculated. Using this data and an ArcGIS program, the FSand LPI maps of the study area were prepared. According to the results obtained, the majority of thestudy area has very high liquefaction potential index.
