Özet
<p>The earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9 occurred in the north of Samos Island on October 30, 2020, and caused great damage to Izmir. The main shock quickly destroyed 17 buildings in Bayraklı and caused the death of 117 people. Bayraklı district, where the earthquake caused the most damage, is 70 km far from the earthquake epicenter, remind the possible effects of an earthquake that will occur in an active fault passing through Izmir city center. The most important fault with a length of 40 km is the Izmir fault (IF). Because of very intense urbanization, the geochemical characteristics of Radon and Carbon dioxide in the study area are unknown. This study is aimed to discuss the spatial patterns of soil gas compositions and examined the association between the recent tectonic structure and degassing process. For this purpose, soil gas samples were systematically collected from the ca. 1–1.5 km spacing grid in the study area.</p>
