Statistička analiza prijevoza robe u Republici Hrvatskoj i usporedba sa susjednim zemljama

Prijevoz robe se kao vaţan čimbenik u prometu najviše afirmirao u moderno doba iako su općenito kroz povijest ljudi uvijek teţili dobavljanju dobara koje nisu posjedovali ili luksuza iz udaljenijih zemalja (Bliski istok, Indija, Kina). Jedan od najboljih primjera starog vijeka jest „put svile“ kojim je Marco Polo išao u Kinu. Republika Hrvatska takoĎer teţi boljoj prometnoj povezanosti i redu kao jedna moderna europska zemlja koja je odnedavno u Europskoj uniji. Iako je dobro cestovno povezana, u luku Rijeku se ne ulaţe dovoljno te je ţeljeznica vrlo zastarjela. Te mane pogotovo dolaze do izraţaja kada se Republika Hrvatska usporedi sa susjednim zemljama u Europskoj uniji – Republikom Slovenijom i Republikom MaĎarskom. Iako i te zemlje imaju svojih problema, npr. Republika Slovenija ima brdski teren i relativno malu morsku obalu te Republika MaĎarska bez morske obale, te dvije zemlje ulaţu više u jačanje svojeg prometa te iskorištavaju mogućnosti koje im teren pruţa. Naravno, te su dvije zemlje u Europskoj uniji od 2004. godine pa su ranije i dobile mogućnost povlačenja fondova iz iste i ulaganja. Bilo kako bilo, Republika Hrvatska mora više paţnje posvetiti ulaganju u promet jer je bolji promet povezan sa većim BDP-om te bi to bio dobar zalog za budućnost.Goods transport became an important aspect in transport mostly in the modern age, although the human race always wanted to receive goods which they couldn't have or luxuries from far away countries (The near east, China, India). One of the best example in the old age was the „silk road“, the road on which Marco Polo traveled to China. Republic of Croatia also wants to have more connected roads and order as a modern European country which recently came into European Union. Although the country has a good road network, it doesn't invest into port of Rijeka enough and the railway is dated. Those flaws especially come to light when Republic of Croatia is compared to it's neigbouring countries – Republic of Slovenia and Republic of Hungary. Although these countries have their own problems, for example, Republic of Slovenia has a rough terrain and a relatively short sea coast and Republic of Hungary doesn't have sea territory at all, those two countries invest in strengthening their transport and they are trying to use the natural possibilities of their terrain. Of course, those two countries are in the European Union since 2004., so they got the possibility of using the European funds and investing faster. Still, Republic of Croatia has to give more attention to transport investments, because better transport is connected with a higher GDP, so it would be investing in future
