Abstract: The present paper was done under the title of peak ground acceleration(PGA) on bedrock and uniform seismic hazard spectra(UHS) for different regions of Golpayegan city. A set of seismic sources, historical and instrumental seismicity data within the radius of 200 kilometers from the city center since the year 1316 until now has been collected and used. Kijko[2000] method has been applied for estimating the seismic parameters considering lack of suitable seismic data, inaccuracy of the available information and uncertainty of magnitude in different periods. The calculations were performed by using the logic tree method, Five weighted attenuation relationships were used; including Ghodrati et al (2007), 0.3; Ambraseys et al (1996), 0.2 ; Campbell-Bozorgnia (2000), 0.15 ; Campbell-Bozorgnia (2009), 0.15 and Akkar & Bommer(2010), 0.2. Furthermore in order to determine the seismic spectra based on weighted attenuation spectral relationships, and also for the reason of being spectral and more suitable with the conditions of the zone, Ambraseys et al (1996), 0.3 ; Ghodrati et al (2010), 0.3 ; Campbell (1997), 0.2 & Berge-Thierry (2003), 0.2 were used. The SEISRISKIII (1987) software was used to calculate the earthquake hazard. The results of this analysis were submitted including the spectra and maps for 10% and 2% probability of event in 50 years.
