Table 5: Predicted PGAs and PGVs of provinces in the earthquake zone for the current earthquake hazard map. hazard map. The design spectrum acceleration coefficient (S\({}_{\text{DS}}\)) forecasted in the previous two earthquake hazard maps that were used in Turkiye is also contrasted in this table. The PGA value increased with the current earthquake hazard map for the geographical locations considered in the Hatay, Kilis, and Elazig provinces. In other provinces, the values predicted on the current map have decreased compared to the previous earthquake zone map. While the largest increase was obtained for Kilis province, the largest decrease was obtained for Gaziantep province. Design spectral acceleration coefficients also varied for the geographical locations considered in all provinces except Gaziantep. While they increased in Hatay, Kahramanmaras, Kilis, and Elazig provinces, there was a decrease in other provinces. No change was observed in the location selected for Gaziantep province. A comparative study was conducted to determine whether the earthquake hazard for the 11 provinces affected by the 6 February Kahramanmaras earthquake was adequately represented on the earthquake hazard maps. For this purpose, the comparison of the PGAs measured in both earthquakes for these provinces, along with the predicted PGAs from the last two earthquake hazard maps used in Turkiye is given in Table 7.  
While the previous earthquake hazard map used in Turkiye took into account four different earthquake zones, the current map takes each geographical location into account separately. For 2007, the values were determined according to the earthquake zones of the
