Abstract

The frequency and territorial distribution of seismic activities in a wider Zagreb area are presented. The area most active from the seismo-tectonic standpoint was selected by taking into account compression in the Žumberak - Medvednica fault zone, tectonic movements in some parts of Medvednica, displacement amplitudes and past earthquakes. The analysis of territorial distribution of theoretical and empirical intensity residuals, the latter based on the earthquake that struck Zagreb in 1880, confirms that the influence of local soil conditions has been significant.

Keywords
