Transport accessibility of selected towns in the Middle Pomerania region including the phenomenon of the transport exclusion

Summary/Abstract: This article brings up the issue of the transport accessibility of the capital cities or their equivalents on the county level. The Middle Pomerania region was taken as a research area. Some of these regions were pointed as to show the different level of the transport offer. The aim was to present the context of compatibility between functional linkages and existing administrative division on the county level, but also to find areas excluded in public transport system. The role of the towns in the settlement system was referred to places that offer selected goods and services which local community needs and have to travel in order to acquire them, with no-closing within the framework of the existing administrative division. For the purposes of the article the indicators of communication linkages and town ranks were constructed. The results of the research procedure turned out to be compatible with the wordings contained in other scientific studies dealing with this topic, but they were taken more precisely and up-to-date. Conclusions contained in this paper, especially regarding corrections in the territorial division to adjust its borders to actual linkages, may be used as a suggestions for people responsible for moulding transport policy in the region and for spatial dimension of state administration.
