Constructions of public intermodal transport terminals This created conditions for rail and intermodal transport of chemicals.

  • Applied Research of Transport Infrastructure for Slovak Capital Demand
    European Scientific Journal February 2014 /SPECIAL/ edition vol.1 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 APPLIED RESEARCH OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SLOVAK CAPITAL DEMAND Maria Puskelova, Ing. Lubica Ondrasikova, Ing. Economics University, Slovakia Abstract Bratislava as the capital of Slovakia is very important knot in Slovak business or tourism. That is why transport infrastructure plays very important role. The increase role of green bicycle transportation and the demand for sustainable tourism require building corresponding infrastructure for urban cyclists, cycle commuters and cycle tourists. The priority of government should be to develop this industry. They should also generate pressure on private entrepreneurs operating public transportation to mind the safety of their clients. It is also related to innovation and improving the quality of services that they provide. Keywords: Tourism, transportation, disabled clients, cyclists, cycling Introduction Public transportation in developed country should be automatically supported by Municipal Corporation as well as by government. Each day it transfers thousand inhabitants and tourist. Everybody who uses public transport relies on it and expects it will be in good condition. Many tourists come to cities and towns without their own means of transport and have to rely on public transport services. These visitor are given first destination feeling through contact with railway or airport premises and then with public transport to be able to reach the chosen point. The public transportation network including cycle infrastructure in Slovakia is managed by the Ministry of Transport, Construction and Regional Development, as well as by specific cities and towns where they are or through which they pass.

Quaestiones Geographi- cae 35(4), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 107–120, 12 figs, 2 tables. ABSTRACT: Transport is a very important part of activities in the tourism sector. In addition to the transport of tourists to and within a destination, transport itself can be a tourist attraction. The aim of this paper is to analyse selected problems of railways in Slovakia (a decrease in the importance of railways for passenger transport in Slovakia in the past 20 years, discontinued passenger transport on certain railway tracks and the modernisation of other tracks, and zero-fare public rail transport services for certain categories of passengers), and to present good examples of the use of narrow-gauge railways for the purposes of tourism (the Tatra Electric Railways and the Kysuce-Orava Forest Railway).

The main objective was to identify and quantify the pace of gradual changes in the dimensions of the Slovak adult population, which is key ergonomic information for multiple disciplines. The measurements of weights, heights and body mass indices of the current adult population of Slovakia ranging from 26 to 94 years of age that were obtained in period 1993–2017 were compared with a sample of students studying at four Slovak universities during the same years (aged 18 to 25). The increase of mean heights was app. 0.104–0.203 cm per one year (or app. 1–2 cm per decade) for males and app. 0.031–0.178 cm per one year (or app.
