In-Depth Information
municipalities show relatively good both-way accessibility. The best conditions are
around largest cities, nevertheless important differences in the size of such
agglomerations exist
the largest accessible agglomeration is around Ostrava (OT,
KA, NJ, FM, OP, VS), in S-E Moravia (BV, HO, UH), partially also in central
Moravia (PR). To the opposite, the Plze
agglomeration (PM, 4th largest city) is
quite small with a diameter similar to the signi
ň
cantly less populated Trutnov
agglomeration (TU).
4 Development of Accessibility
The development of accessibility has been evaluated using both main indicators
RA and RMRC
aggregated for the regional (NUTS3) level.
Concerning RA (Fig. 10 ) Prague (red line) shows unique development com-
paring to other regions. This difference is getting stronger suggesting that
improvements of Prague
s accessibility are more rapid than in other regions. Since
2009 besides Prague two eastern regions (Moravian-Silesian and Zlin regions) are
getting separated in accessibility from the others (approx. 50
'
-
100 % more than
other regions except of Prague).
According to the rate of both-way accessible municipalities, the best situation is
again in Prague and also here the situation has been getting better since 2009. The
other regions demonstrate only small changes (signi
cant decrease of accessibility
was indicated in
region between 2007 and 2008 what is explained by the
exchange of regional public transport operator). Higher changes in the both-way
