Original scientific paper Global Navigation and Satellite System (GNSS) is used in a wide range of applications from low accuracy navigation to high accuracy point positioning. GNSS reference stations are required for using the GNSS applications effectively. GNSS reference stations at the Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul-Turkey (YLDZ) and at the Afyon Kocatepe University in Afyon-Turkey (AFKU) were established within the scope of the research projects supported by their universities in 2013. In this study, quality control procedure, data process, analysis and management of YLDZ reference station data are explained. Besides, test results about the Real Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning method of the reference station are given. The reference station YLDZ meets the International GNSS Service (IGS) standards based on the processing results. According to the RTK results, coordinates can be determined with 1,5 cm and better accuracy on the field by using YLDZ station.

“…Based on all the deformation data collected, the lateral effects of the seismic motions on the GNSS sites close to Cameli and Rhodes were included in the computations. The computations revealed that the Cameli earthquake (M w ¼ 5.3) and Rhodes earthquake (15 July 2008, M w ¼ 6.4) caused a displacement of less than 1 mm at the near geosensor stations (Gulal et al 2013b)…”

“…The findings obtained from these measurements were published by Kahle et al 1998;McClusky et al 2000;Reilinger et al 2006;Erdo gan et al 2008;Aktug et al 2009, andErdo gan et al 2009. The most up-to-date study of the area was performed by Gulal et al 2013b which presented the current velocity area of the region and the results of the strain analysis conducted for the region. In this study, it was determined that there is a high level of consistency between the strain analysis and the analysis of the earthquakes in the region.…”

This study aims the relations between seismicity data and strain analysis based on geodetic space techniques in order to define the seismicity hazard of the southwest Anatolian region of Turkey. This region has complex tectonic formations and requires sophisticated techniques and approaches to investigate seismic activities. In this study, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) observations were used to determine the velocity field of the region. The strain rates of the region were obtained from the evaluation of this velocity field. In addition, seismicity b parameters of the region were calculated from the analysis of seismicity data. Furthermore, the seismicity data and the geodetic strain rates obtained from the GNSS observations were combined to show the statistical correlation. This correlation was interpreted to define the seismicity. According to the results derived from the correlation analysis, the geodetic strain analysis and seismicity data were highly and inversely correlated (r ¼ À0.96). After the determination of the correlation, the seismic hazard data of the region was added to the analysis. This process shows that seismic hazards are highly and negatively correlated to seismicity data (r ¼ À0.90), even though they are highly but positively correlated to geodetic strain analysis (r ¼ 0.88).
