Tədqiqatın başlıca məqsədi inversiya metodunun köməyi ilə zəlzələ ocaqlarının parametrlərinin hesablanması, seysmik momentin fokus mexanizminə və tenzoruna müvafiq olaraq Türkiyə ərazisində və bitişik rayonlarda tektonik pozulmaların tiplərinin bankının hazırlanmasından, həmçinin regional gərginliklərin hesablanmasından ibarətdir. İşin əsəs vəzifəsi başlangıc parametlərinin – Türkiyədə və bitişik rayonlarda baş vermiş tektonik pozulmaların mexanizmələrinin – məlumatların bütov bazasına toplanmasından ibarətdir və bu da tədqiqatçıların diqqətinə çatdırmaq məqsədi daşıyır ki, instrumental seysmologiya 1938-ci ildən tətbiq edilməyə başlanmışdır və bu gün də istifadə olunur. Bu iş əvvəllər aparılmış tədqiqatların təzələnməsi və təkmilləşdirilməsi məqsədilə aparıl-mışdır. Tektonik pozulmaların parametrlərinin təxminən 70%-i bu tədqiqatın çərşivəsində hesablanmışdır. Məqalə həmçinin əvvəllər baş vermiş zəlzələlərin bütün çatışmayan parametrlərinin hesablanması yolu ilə həmcinsli və kompleks məlumatların bazasının ha-zırlanmasına həsr edilmişdir. Hər bir zəlzələnin parametrlərindən (istiqamət, uzanma,əyilmə meyli, seysmik moment Mo, zaman maqnitudası Mw, sıxılma və gərginlik azimutunun P və T oxları) istifadə etməklə Türkiyənin regionlarında regional gərginliklərin və ox istiqamətlərinin hesablanmasının, seysmik momentin tenzor dəstinin köməyi ilə tektonik pozulmaların regional tiplərinin xəritəsi hazırlanmışdır. Nəticədə məqalədə 1950 zəlzələ ocaqlarının (Mw ≥ 4.0) parametrləri və tektonik pozulma müstəvisinin həlli ümumi-ləşdirilmişdir.
