Sažetak
Newly obtained and combined structural and seismic data allow us to define and characterize the major seismogenic zones of the NW Croatia. Although characterized by a moderate seismicity with a rare occurrence of earthquakes with M ³ 5, this part of Croatia is considered as seismically the most vulnerable part of the country due to the highest population density and over 55 % of annual national product. Tectonically, it lies in the border zone between the Alps, the Dinarides and the Pannonian basin, at the “ triple junction” of the Periadriatic-Balaton, Sava and Drava transcurrent fault systems, all playing important role in the Neogene-Quaternary tectonics in this and neighbouring region (e.g. Fodor et al., 1998 ; Prelogovic´ et al., 1998 ; Tomljenovic´ and Csontos, 2001 ; Tomljenovic´ et al., 2008). The earthquake data archived in the Croatian Earthquake Catalogue (covering the period since 373 BC until today) with recently re-computed locations of events recorded in NW Croatia in period of 1908 – 2007 (Herak et al., 2008) indicate a distinctive spatial distribution of earthquakes concentrated in five seismogenic zones.
