Hatamabad syncline is located 40 km north of Qayen and with an area of more than 190 km2. In this study, the geometric - kinematic analysis of this syncline was assessed to understand the genetic relation between this structure and Dasht-e-Bayaz active fault. Hatamabad syncline is situated in Dasht-e-Bayaz fault segmentations gap and its S shape is the result of a sinisteral strike slip movement, raised a lot of questions about the effect of Dasht-e-Bayaz sinisteral fault. Geometric analysis of structural cross sections, determine maximum strain trend 221 or 41 degrees for the Hatamabad syncline. This shows good correlation with stress trend of Dasht-e-Bayaz fault. In addition mechanism of Mohammad Abad -e- Alam fault along with its stress trend 217 or 37 degrees that is obtained by right dihedral method, proves S- shape of Hatamabad syncline. Finally the Hatamabad syncline was deformed due to its location in a sinisteral transpression zone between Dasht-e-Bayaz sinisteral fault with a reverse parameter and Mohammad Abad -e- Alam reverse fault with sinisteral strike slip component.
