Spatial diversity of transport exclusion in railway transport on the example of Lower Silesia voivodship

Summary/Abstract: Lower Silesia is characterized by a high density of its railway system. The current layout of ithas formed since the mid-nineteenth century, going through a few stages of development until today. Firstof all, the main skeleton was made, then local connections were successively being added. The present analysisconcerns primarily the stage of liquidating railway lines and suspensions in the regional passenger railtransport in Lower Silesia Voivodship. A significant element here is the time characteristic of it, since eachstage of suspending the movement reveals spatial differentiation. The authors made an assessment of thelinks between liquidations of the passenger railway connections and the demographic potential of localitieswhich have lost their access to the railway transport. Also, in their analysis, they included an evaluation ofthe course of the process of closing selected railway lines (a case study) and verification of the planned worksmeant to restore the Lower Silesia railway system.
