We analyse the data from narrow band Halpha and [O III] CCD imaging of
a sample of nearby spiral galaxies with active nuclei. The results sh
ow that the large scale star formation depends on the level of nuclear
activity, with Seyfert 2 presenting the strongest disk and circum-nuc
lear star formation, while Seyfert 1 show very little. We present part
icular results for the galaxies NGC 3982, NGC 4579, NGC 5427 and NGC 7
469.
