Abstract. This paper presents a discussion regarding the most common approaches to the deterministic seismic hazard analysis, as well as their relation with the probabilistic hazard analysis. Different methodologies for estimation of the strong earthquake ground motion at a site of interest on the territory of the Republic of Serbia are also discussed. When generation of the synthetic ground motion time histories on the territory of the Republic of Serbia is concerned, a method developed by Trifunac and his associates is suggested, having in mind that this approach uses only those input parameters that can be easily and accurately defined while at the same time being able to model all properties of strong earthquake ground motion that are presently known, as well as to consider the probabilistic nature of earthquake occurrence.
Key words:  Deterministic hazard analysis, estimation of the strong earthquake ground motion at a site of interest, Republic of Serbia

ODABIR ODGOVARAJUĆE METODOLOGIJE ZA 
DETERMINISTIČKO OCENJIVANJE SEIZMIČKOG HAZARDA NA TERITORIJI REPUBLIKE SRBIJE
U ovom radu diskutovani su najčešći pristupi determinističkoj analizi seizmičkog hazarda, kao i njihov odnos sa probabilističkom analizom hazarda. Diskutovane su takođe i različite metodologije za ocenjivanje jakog kretanja tla usled zemljotresa za lokaciju od interesa na teritoriji Republike Srbije. Kada je u pitanju generisanje sintetičkih vremenskih istorija kretanja tla na teritoriji Republike Srbije, predloženo je korišćenje metode koju je razvio Trifunac sa svojim saradnicima, imajući u vidu da ovaj pristup koristi samo one ulazne parametre koje je moguće jednostavno a tačno definisati, dok istovremeno omogućava modelovanje svih trenutno poznatih osobina jakog kretanja tla usled zemljotresa, kao i uzimanje u obzir probabilističke prirode pojave zemljotresa.
