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.

Über den Autor / die Autorin
Nurhuda Manshoor, a Malaysian academic, obtained her Ph.D. degree in Natural Product Chemistry from Universiti Teknologi MARA Malaysia (UiTM), supervised by Professor Jean-Frédéric Faizal Weber. She has been a Lecturer at the Faculty of Pharmacy, UiTM, since 2009 and a Research Fellow at the Atta-ur-Rahman Institute for Natural Product Discovery (AuRIns), Malaysia, since 2011. She has undertaken postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and Tokushima Bunri University, Japan. She recently completed a sabbatical at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, UK, collaborating on phytochemical research. Dr. Manshoor specializes in pharmaceutical analysis and pharmacognosy, and teaches undergraduate courses on analytical techniques, spectroscopy, organic chemical reactions, and pharmacognosy, emphasizing the study of natural medicines and phytochemicals. Her research interests focus on phytochemistry, particularly oligostilbenes and phenolic compounds in plants of the family Dipterocarpaceae, and the development of modern chromatographic methodologies for isolating plant secondary metabolites. She is also involved in dereplication strategies for rapid compound identification using LC-MS and database comparisons and metabolomic fingerprinting to identify plant constituents using chemometric analysis and mass spectrometric data. Dr. Manshoor is a member of the Malaysian Natural Product Society, the Groupe Polyphénols, and the Malaysian Metabolomics Society. Her contributions reflect a commitment to advancing pharmaceutical education and research while promoting the study and application of natural products.
