This book presents a systematic and comprehensive review of the major seismic hazard assessment and zonation accomplishments for the territory of the present Republic of North Macedonia from 1948 to 2024. This contribution encompasses all significant efforts related to territory of N. Macedonia on national, regional, and global levels of seismic hazard assessments, briefly discussing the methodologies used and the results derived. The monograph compactly presents and preserves historical, administrative, and some technical information that is currently of limited availability. It identifies and emphasizes the adverse influence of the migration of design seismicity enforced by different seismic zonings and non-harmonized standards for seismic design, concrete, and reinforce concrete, on a timescale.The monograph presents, in necessary detail, the spatial and temporal evolution of seismic zoning maps during the last 76 years, the results of efforts by the Macedonian national and international research community to quantify the Macedonian seismic environment, and the implications thereof on modelling the spatial and temporal evolution of developed exposure.The authors considered it worthwhile to collect, systemize, analyze, and make available for further studies and research to the broader scientific and professional community. The presented review may be of particular interest to research communities of countries succeeding the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) since the discussed legal technical documents have controlled the development of the built environment (exposure) and its seismic vulnerability in the pre-Eurocode design and construction period, not only in the territory of the Republic of North Macedonia but also in the territories of all SFRY successors. All maps and studies presented in this monograph have been processed using GIS and/or digitized from the original maps.
