<p>This study examines the monitoring of earthquakes and their effects in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, specifically in Koya city, from 1970 to 2023, and the identification of tectonic plate boundaries. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques, with the assistance of the USGS data catalog, have played a significant role in identifying and displaying areas where the most earthquakes have occurred, as well as areas that may experience this phenomenon in the future. The paper has found that there has been an increase in both frequency and concentration of earthquakes in the last decade (2013-2023). For example, the highest magnitude earthquake recorded was 7.3 in 2017. Koya is also one of the cities where the tectonic Transform AR_EU line runs through the middle, and the magnitude of earthquakes occurring there ranges between 5 and 15 degrees. Additionally, over the past 50 years, earthquakes have occurred between 57 and 240 times on average.</p>
