Abstract
In this study, the earthquake hazard of Bitlis province and its surrounding located in Lake Van Basin which is seismically quite active is aimed to be presented. Analyzing the seismicity of studied area the relation between magnitude-frequency, seismic risk and cycling periods are calculated. Seismic risk of Bitlis were staticly calculated by using the equation of Gutenberg-Richter for earthquakes which are M≥ 4 that happened in between 1900-2006 of a radious 150km . In Bitlis and its surrounding, the probabilty of an earthquake of 6 magnitude in 100 years is calculated as %85. This study is supposed to contribute to the studies to be carried out in Bitlis and its districts where its seismicity has been neglected. It unfolds the necessity of earthquake effects to be kept in mind durıng constructing. Due to seismic risks the reality of earthquake should not be forgetten in Bitlis.
