Abstract: |
Studies that analyze the economic impacts of the transport system mostly deal with entire
countries or larger territories. However, the effects of the transport system on regions or sub-
regions have increasing importance. The inadequate quality and density of the minor, access and
connecting roads as well as the low quality of the transport services might be one of the most
important reasons for regional disparity. As a result, the quality and quantity of micro-relations
should be included amongst the aims of road infrastructure developments.
In the study I have described the availability position of the 174 Hungarian sub-regions. To
streamline and enlarge the regional road infrastructure would be necessary to improve our
competitive potential and also to assist and increase the economic development processes. Their
economic, social and institutional terms have to possess satisfactory internal and external
connections. |
