Fethiye is an important region located in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Basin. This region is the most active part of the south-western Anatolia extensional tectonic regime, has effected by earthquakes, submarine landslides and tsunamis throughout the history due to the existence of the complex active plate boundary zone. The active area has been exposed to ground motion that could damage vulnerable structures. Therefore, a detailed assessment of seismic hazard is necessary for the prevention of potential damage. In this context, probabilistic seismic hazard analysis is performed by R-CRISIS-18.3 using the parameters computed from Seismic Hazard Harmonization for Europe (SHARE) project. Spatial distribution of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) for the earthquake level that corresponds to the average return period of 475 years is calculated. The results are discussed and compared with the values obtained from the Revision of Turkish Seismic Hazard Map Project (UDAP-Ç-13-06). These results of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis will provide the basis for the preparation of seismic risk maps as future work.
