Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to search the possibilities of reestablishment of the town of Gediz,which had experienced a destructive earthquake during March 28, 1970 at 23.02 hours, local time.Engineering geological map at the scale of 1:2000 was prepared to distinguish the zones showinglithological varia-tions. In addition to the geological studies, driling and geophysical investigations were alsoconducted. All together six different zones were distinguished. The areas underlain by colluvim, which isclassed as potential landslide area, should be avoided In the rest of the town, due regard must be paid to thefire danger, which may follow a future earthquake.
