Abstract
A research has been conducted to estimate earthquake source parameters that occurred on June 3rd, 13th, 18th and 19th, 2008. The data used to determine the parameters of earthquakes source are three components local waveform that are recorded by three MY broadband stations (IPM, KOM and KUM) and PSI, Poseidon. In this research, we report a focal mechanism of events using three components local waveform analysis. The seismogram data are inverted to achieve the earthquake source parameters. Source parameters of earthquakes extracted after the reduction variant of each event are over 56%. To identify the fault plane, the HC-plot method is used.
