Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of seismotectonic conditions in the area of the Leninskoye coal deposit (Kuzbass). The territory of the Leninskiy district is belongs to the coverage zone of the Altai-Sayan regional seismic stations network. The results of research into intensification of seismic activity in the Kuzbass region using the local networks of seismic stations are considered. In the course of seismic observations in the territory of the Kemerovo region four seismically active zones been identified that encircle the largest industrial megacities of Kuzbass and that are responsible for 90% of the earthquake foci. According to the distribution of epicenters of the seismic events, the area of the Leninskoe coal deposit belongs to one of the seismic zones with the most actively developing natural and man-made seismic activity identified within the research. The research indicates that the induced seismic activity in Kuzbass prevails over the natural seismicity.

Keywords: seismic activity, earthquake mechanism, seismic hazard, seismic event, seismic activation, magnitude, man-made seismicity, safety
