Book excerpt: In this thesis, I present the most important research works I conducted on the seismicity catalogs, strong ground motion databases and seismic hazard analysis of Iran and other active zones in the Middle East and south Asia. An emphasis in this thesis is to represent the important controlling factors for the seismic source determinations, seismicity parameters and ground motion models. After each earthquake (such as the 1990, Manjil earthquake; Mw=7.3, and 2003, Bam earthquake; Mw=6.5) there are some discussions on the reliability of the seismic hazard zoning maps and a comparison between the recorded and previously assessed ground motions. This draws attention to the importance of input dataset and the level of knowledge of the seismic source parameters in the potential seismic regions (geometry and mechanical of faults, return periods, etc...). The thesis is organized in 8 chapters that present a summary of my research works and published papers on the subjects including seismicity catalogues, strong motion processing, development of attenuation relationships and seismic hazard analysis. In addition, a summary of reconnaissance studies of some important and destructive earthquakes (since 2003) and lessons learned from them, as well as my research formation in terms of supervision of Ph.D. thesis are described. Furthermore, a new research on seismicity and strong motion databank of the south Asia is proposed in this manuscript.
