Seismicity study in the period of time 2008-2021, in Istog - Pejë- Deçan seismogenic zone, that are related to the Shkodër-Pejë active seismic transverse fault zone
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
The territory of Kosovo in terms of seismicity, represents a zone, where indigenous strong earthquakes can be expected as well as an earthquake originating from the seismic sources in the bordering regions with the neighboring countries, such that might cause significant damage on the built environment yielding great material and human losses.
The tectonic regime northwest and west of territory of Kosova consists mainly of extensive processes that result in rift zones, such tectonic fault of Istog and tectonic fault of Peja, Studies of seismic hazard are particularly interesting, due to the existence of important urban areas in this seismogenic region, such as a seismogenic area of Peja, where hundreds of earthquakes occurred within the period of 2008-2021, the largest magnitude was 5.2 Richter scale and intensity of 7 MMI
Historical data report the occurrence of several significant events in the Peja region, earthquake (M>6.0) year 1662
The study of the seismicity of the seismogenic zone Peja revealed continuous seismic activity, organized into background and strongly clustered seismicity. Seismic events from 2008 to 2021, clearly show the connection with the Shkodër-Pejë active seismic transverse fault zone.
Having in mind that in the last two decades, the region is undergoing very fast urbanization characterized with extensive infrastructure development and building modern high rise structures with different use: residential, administrative, commercial and buildings belonging to essential facilities such are schools and hospitals it is necessary to be aware of the seismic hazard to which the built environment can be exposed and all possible consequences of such event. In order to be able to assess the seismic hazard, it is necessary to integrate data from various field such as seismology, geology, tectonics, etc.
