Abstract <p>A new methodological approach to the identification of potential earthquake source zones (PESZ) in the Earth’s crust, tested on the territory of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, is proposed. It involves processing morphometric terrain parameters related to seismicity in the best possible way by the method of equivalent gradations or using the apparatus of fuzzy logic. The integral morphometric index (neotectonic activity index) calculated this way is compared to the relative stress values estimated from computer modeling data. These two parameters form the basis for the algorithm of the PESZ identification, which may be used for seismic zoning, primarily of remote and poorly studied territories, since it is based on publicly available source data and is largely formalized.</p>
