Özet
Mostly, The province of Ankara is known as a safe place in terms of seismicity and earthquake hazard. However,
the earthquakes that have occurred in the recent years, and the studies have begun to show that it may not be
such. Therefore, the seismicity and the seismic hazard of the region should be revised on the basis of current data
and studies. The aim of this study is to determine the seismic hazard and to prepare an earthquake hazard map of
Ankara by using the deterministic method. Deterministic seismic hazard analysis is applied for the province of
Ankara and peak ground acceleration values at rock sites are determined by using two different the attenuation
relationships and fourteen seismic source areas. In this study, peak ground acceleration values at rock sites is
estimated to range from 0.1 to 0.6 g for Ankara province
