The objective of this study is to create a liquefaction map with sample zoning for Sakarya, Geyve. For the purpose, Geyve district was chosen as an example, because it is the largest district of Sakarya in terms of area and also the 3rd largest district in terms of population, and it is possible to have an alluvial soil that carries the risk of liquefaction due to its location near the Sakarya River. Analyzes were carried out with the data of 290 drilling points in the ground survey reports obtained from the Geyve Municipality, Directorate of Reconstruction and Urbanization. Liquefeaction analyses were made according to the Turkiye Building Earthquake Code 2018 (TBEC). The gathered information is transferred from geographic information system (GIS) mapping to the MapInfo application. Classification of soil in Geyve District, corrected SPTN (SPTN*), water content (WN), fine grain content (FGC), liquid limit (WL), plastic limit (WP), groundwater table (GWT) and soil liquefaction mapping was designed with the transferred data. This study shows that there is no risk of liquefaction in the Geyve district generally but only low risk in some zones.
