Abstract

Zoning potential danger derived from earthquakes is crucial for the development of policies dealing with the future of the cities. Determination of the potential danger zones regarding earthquakes with the telecommunication infrastructure is crucial for the development of policies dealing with the future of the cities. By utilizing the cartogram mapping technique, this paper aims to display potential earthquake danger zones with the uneven distribution of the cell towers and cells on a population cartogram for Türkiye. This is crucial for the cities regarding the future potential communication crises after disasters. Policymakers should provide and develop well-functioning communication networks (GSM networks) for the organization of aid and search and rescue operations since the collapse of the communication infrastructure renders all post-disaster processes insoluble and dysfunctional.
