Use of public passenger transport in the area of Kozjansko

Vsak dan se tako na slovenskih, kot tudi na evropskih cestah pojavlja vse večje število osebnih vozil, upada pa uporaba javnega potniškega prometa. Za prevoz na svoja delovna mesta, v šole in za svoje hobije ljudje danes raje izberejo lasten prevoz. Te odločitve posameznikov pa s seboj prinašajo številne negativne posledice. V večjih mestnih središčih prihaja do vsakodnevnih zastojev, ki imajo negativne posledice tako za infrastrukturo, kot tudi za ljudi. S seboj prinašajo ogromne stroške za državo in veliko breme za okolje. Zaradi velikega števila osebnih in tovornih vozil so izpusti škodljivih toplogrednih plinov preveliki, vedno več je prometnih nesreč, kjer ni le materialna škoda, ampak so tudi smrtne žrtve, velike posledice pa pušča promet tudi na zdravju ljudi, saj se število umrlih in obolelih zaradi izpušnih plinov iz leta v leto veča. V diplomskem delu smo predstavili problematiko prometa in njegove negativne posledice. Poizkušali smo ugotoviti, ali ljudje uporabljajo javni potniški promet za prevoz na svoja delovna mesta in v šolo ali pa se raje odločijo za uporabo lastnega prevoza. Osredotočili smo se na območje Kozjanskega, v raziskavo pa smo vključili posameznike, ki se vsakodnevno vozijo v Celje. Na podlagi analize rezultatov smo podali ugotovitve naše raziskave in predloge, kako bi po našem mnenju povečali uporabo in storitvi prevoza dodali dodano vrednostAlthough the number of vehicles on Slovenian as well as on European roads is increasing, the usage of public transport is decreasing. Nowadays, people prefer to use their own means of transport to their jobs, schools, hobbies and so on. However, these decisions bring many negative consequences, for example, everyday traffic jams in big city centers which have negative effects both on infrastructure and citizens. Furthermore, they increase government costs and burden the environment. Due to the large amount of cars and cargo vehicles, the amount of exhaust fumes of harmfull greenhouse gases is increasing, as well as the number of traffic accidents with not only material damage, but also human casualties. In addition to these facts, there are also negative effects on people\u27s health, many people get sick or even die due to the harmfull influence of greenhouse gases. In our research we presented the issue of traffic and its negative consequences. We tried to determine whether people use public transport for transportation to their working place and schools or do they prefer their own means of transport. The target area of our research is the area of Kozjansko and the target group are people who commute to Celje on everyday basis. Based on our research analysis, we presented findings and our proposals on how to increase the usage of public transport and add extra value to the service
