Abstract
A new methodological approach to the identification of zones of potential earthquake foci locations (FEFL), tested on the territory of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, is proposed. It involves processing morphometric relief parameters related to seismicity in the best possible way using the method of equivalent gradations or using the fuzzy logic apparatus. The integral morphometric index (neotectonic activity index) calculated in this way is compared with the relative stress values estimated from computer modeling data. These 2 parameters form the basis of the PEFL zone identification algorithm, which may be in demand for seismic zoning, primarily of remote and poorly studied territories, since it is based on publicly available source data and is largely formalized.
