Summary:Kashmir region is one of the most seismic prone area lies on the Eurasian and Indian plate boundary. It has been the host of many great earthquakes from centuries including last 8th October 2005 earthquake. This study involves the seism city pattern of Kashmir region before and after 8th October 2005 earthquake. Although the spatial and temporal seism city patterns in an earthquake-prone Kashmir region are closely related to both tectonic regime and fault structures. It is the most difficult to quantify the relations in a way which allows large events in the seismic region to be predicted. However, regular and persistent studies regarding seismic activities are most important phenomena for the future recurrence and magnitude of earthquakes. Seism city time properties of Kashmir region are investigated through a systematic pattern recognition analysis. Statistical methods have been applied to a long time database of instrumental data recorded from 1904 - 2006. The seism city
