GIS analysis of the transportation network of Sibenik-Knin County

Šibensko-kninska županija ima značajan prometno-geografski položaj: povezana je Jadranskom magistralom s jadranskom obalom, magistralnom cestom prema Kninu i BiH te autocestom A1 s panonskim prostorom. U radu se uz pomoć programa ArcGIS, analizira prometna mreža Šibensko-kninske županije primjenom mrežnog modela ili teorije grafa. Za analizu prometne mreže potrebno je istaknuti najznačajnije faktore koji su utjecali i utječu na razvoj prometne mreže. U radu se daje poseban naglasak utjecaju prometa na demografska i gospodarska obilježja prostora te se prema tome određuju planovi za budući razvoj uz primjenu SWOT analize.Sibenik-Knin County has a significant geographical position and is connected through the Adriatic road with the Adriatic coast, through the main road with Knin and Bosnia-Herzegovina and through the A1 highway with the Pannonian region. Using ArcGIS, transport network of Sibenik-Knin County is analysed by applying network model or graph theory. For the analysis of the transport network is necessary to stress the most important factors that influenced the development of the transport network. The thesis gives special emphasis to the impact of traffic on demographic and economic characteristics of the area and define plans for the future development by applying SWOT analysis
