The spin relaxation time $T_{1}$ in zinc blende GaN quantum dot is investigated for different magnetic field, well width and quantum dot diameter. The spin relaxation caused by the two most important spin relaxation mechanisms in zinc blende semiconductor quantum dots, {i.e.} the electron-phonon scattering in conjunction with the Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling and the second-order process of the hyperfine interaction combined with the electron-phonon scattering, are systematically studied. The relative importance of the two mechanisms are compared in detail under different conditions. It is found that due to the small spin orbit coupling in GaN, the spin relaxation caused by the second-order process of the hyperfine interaction combined with the electron-phonon scattering plays much more important role than it does in the quantum dot with narrower band gap and larger spin-orbit coupling, such as GaAs and InAs.
