Spatial differentiation of transport supply in Czechia: conditional factors and transport interactions

Viktor Květoň: Územní diferenciace dopravních příležitostí v Česku: podmiňující faktory a dopravní interakce Abstract Actual transport geography (and social geography as a whole) is characterized by wide range of solved researches (both academic, and commercial), as well as by plurality of methodology approaches. One of actual topics is study and assessment of conditional factors, or determinants, of transport supply (in terms of fitting of population with vehicles and availability of public transport), which are very accented research topic in foreign literature and have became main topic of presented dissertation thesis. Factors and mechanisms of transport opportunities were assessed in the dissertation thesis at example level of Czech Republic. Resolution and analysis of main factors determining transport opportunities was wholly elementary, however only initial phase of systematic transport research. The second level was formed by assessment of transport contact between most important population centres, which is closely related to study of spatial interactions. Presented dissertation thesis summarises outputs of empirical assessment of above-specified topics, which were solved during doctoral study. Thus it is engaged mainly in determinants of territorial differences of transport supply within Czech..
