The example of the Central and Southern section of the border between Austria and Hungary, Prace Komisji Geografii Komunikacji PTG, 22(1), 52-65. Abstract: Based on the Interreg Central Europe Territorial cooperation Programme’s CONNECT2CE project the current paper analyses the existing passenger traffic flow across the border which is among the TOP10 busiest border section of the EU. It provides an overview of the main socio-economic characteristic of the peripheral border area and identifies the factors which are leading to the continuous growth of cross-border traffic. Based on previous research and travel surveys it collects the past service attempts offered to tap the growing cross-border travel demand. It also presents the most recent passenger counts and relational (Origin-Destination O-D) ticketing statistic in order to get precise knowledge about the usage level of the existing service which helps to understand the rapidly changing mobility patterns and spatial structure.

  • Bulgarian Contribution Towards the Development of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region
    1 Bulgarian Contribution towards the Development of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region First Draft (22 February 2010) Introduction This document outlines the Bulgarian standpoint in the process of development of the European Union’s Strategy for the Danube Region. This new initiative coordinated by the European Commission, combines the efforts of regions and countries within the Danube drainage basin aiming at the acceleration of processes of economic and social cohesion, enhancement and expansion of territorial cooperation while effectively implementing the principles of the European cohesion policy at macro-regional level. Bulgaria believes that partnership among member-states, applicant countries and potential applicant countries taking part in the Strategy, is a key factor for the successful and purposeful achievement of priorities for increased competitiveness, innovation development, energy efficiency and territorial cohesion. Bulgaria fully supports the process of drafting of a joint Danube area development strategy in the context of European regional policy and expresses its will to take active part in it. The Danube region must be seen also as a natural connection between the Baltic Sea region, Black Sea region, Adriatic and Alpine regions. The Strategy for the Danube Region is a process that will provide for reduction of social and economic differences between countries and regions and will ensure competitive development of regional and local communities, establishment of sustainable partnerships, exchange of know-how, good innovation practices and multicultural dialogue. This first draft of the Bulgarian standpoint in the process of drafting of the European Strategy for the Danube Region outlines the understanding of the context, target framework and priorities that are of utmost importance for the development of the macro- region’s potential, including its Bulgarian part.

  • Traffic Connectivity in Croatia in the Past: the Dubrovnik Region Case
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 1, Issue 3 – Pages 195-204 Traffic Connectivity in Croatia in the Past: The Dubrovnik Region Case By Marija Benić Penava This paper analyses the development of traffic routes in the far south of Croatia during the 19th and 20th century. Poor traffic connectivity was the consequence of traffic policy which was subordinated to the interests of Vienna in the Austro- Hungarian Monarchy, and after World War I, to Belgrade. Since the Dubrovnik region was oriented towards the sea, and since traditionally it had strong entrepreneurship and sea traffic that enabled great economic prosperity of Dubrovnik in the past centuries. Ships flying the flag of Sveti Vlaho (Saint Blaise, the patron saint of the city) were present in the Mediterranean and the world’s oceans, yet the service industry which Dubrovnik provided was completed by tourism only in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The perception of Dubrovnik as a world tourist destination was established in the first half of the 20th century and that could only be maintained by quality traffic routes. Therefore it was extremely important for the prosperity of the far south of Croatia to have and retain the best connectivity by railway as well as sea, land and air traffic. Introduction The transition from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century was a period of great economic change in Europe. The discovery of the Watt’s steam engine (1764) enabled mechanical transport, which neither the working animals nor the natural power, on which transportation was dependent previously, could not contest. The steam engine passed the milestone in the field of transport connection.
