Tartalmi leírás:
Today transport plays a crucial role in our socioeconomic life. In the two regions which
comprise the Great Plain transport as a sector constitutes a significant share of overall
GDP (5%). Transport affects the competitiveness of regions and therefore the quality of
life. Good transport stimulates company activities, attracts direct investment, improves
purchasing and distribution, and enables the realisation of extra income through
international trade. Good transportation infrastructure supports the development of rural
areas and promotes the convergence of regions.
As a result of travelling between settlements or commuting, public transport fosters
the mobility of the workforce. The quality of public transport affects employment and
schooling in different geographical areas, and access to services which are limited in a
given area.
This study analyses the transport situation in the Northern Great Plain and Southern
Great Plain regions. (The two regions are referred to hereafter as the Great Plain.) The
paper presents the structure and quality of the road system, and the accessibility by road
of Hungarian settlements. Furthermore, we highlight the features of rail, air and
waterway transport
