Özet:

 The study area covers the geothermal areas in Western Anatolia, Söke, Germencik and Kuşadası districts of Aydın province and their immediate surroundings. The study area and its immediate surroundings are not only a very active region in terms of earthquakes in the instrumental period, but also a very rich region in terms of geothermal systems. These areas, from east to west, are Ömerbeyli, Bozköy, Çamur and Gümüş Germencik Geothermal Areas, Sazlıköy Söke Geothermal Area and Ilıca, Davutlar, Bataklık Pınarı Kuşadası Geothermal Areas. In the study area, from north to south, there are the Efes Fault, Kuşadası Fault Zone, Davutlar Fault, which is also indicated as active on the Active Fault Map of Turkey, and the Söke Fault, located on the northern border of the Büyük Menderes Graben, in the south. A large part of this region is at risk of earthquake today, as it was in the past. In the instrumental period, from 1900 to the present day, there have been approximately 80 earthquakes greater than M  4.0 in this region. In addition, a M6.8 earthquake occurred in the region in 1955 and a Mw6.9 earthquake occurred in 2020. Within the scope of this study, a monitoring study lasting approximately six months was carried out on the hot water resources determined in the geothermal areas of Gümüşköy Germencik, Sazlıköy Söke and Davutlar Kuşadası in Aydın province, and the relationship between the geothermal resources and active faults in the study area was revealed and this was associated with high earthquake activity.

 Çalışma alanı Batı Anadoluda, Aydın iline ait Söke, Germencik ve Kuşadası ilçeleri ile yakın çevresinde bulunan jeotermal alanları kapsamaktadır. Çalışma alanı ve yakın civarı aletsel dönemdeki depremler açısından oldukça aktif bir bölge olduğu gibi jeotermal sistemler açısından da oldukça zengin bir bölgedir. Bu alanlar doğudan batıya doğru, Ömerbeyli, Bozköy, Çamur ve Gümüş Germencik Jeotermal Alanları, Sazlıköy Söke Jeotermal Alanı ve Ilıca, Davutlar, Bataklık Pınarı Kuşadası Jeotermal Alanlarıdır. Çalışma alanında, kuzeyden güneye doğru Türkiye Diri Fay Haritasında da aktif olarak belirtilen Efes Fayı, Kuşadası Fay Zonu, Davutlar Fayı ve güneyde Büyük Menderes Grabeninin kuzey sınırında yer alan Söke Fayı bulunmaktadır. Bu bölgenin büyük bölümü, geçmişte olduğu gibi günümüzde de deprem riski altında bulunmaktadır. Aletsel dönemde, 1900 yılından günümüze kadar bu bölgede M4.0 ten büyük yaklaşık 80 adet deprem olmuştur. Ayrıca bölgede 1955 yılında 1 adet M6.8 ve 2020 yılında 1 adet Mw6.9 büyüklüğünde depremler meydana gelmiştir. Bu çalışma kapsamında Aydın ilinde Gümüşköy Germencik, Sazlıköy Söke ve Davutlar Kuşadası jeotermal alanlarında belirlenen sıcak su kaynaklarından yaklaşık altı ay süren bir izleme çalışması yapılarak çalışma alanındaki jeotermal kaynaklar ile aktif fayların ilişkisi ortaya çıkarılarak bu yüksek deprem aktivitesi ile ilişkilendirilmiştir.
