Identyfi kacja transportowego i przestrzennego komponentu dostępności komunikacyjnej w wybranych nadmorskich ośrodkach miejskich
The transport and spatial component for communication in seaside of selected urban centers

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the distribution of the transport and spatial components. The transport component is one of the four elements in the research of transport accessibility of the place. Thanks to the transport component, it is possible to move people and goods from source to destination. The article compares road and public transport networks in cities that are divided into two parts by a river. Selected cities for analysis are: Göteborg, Rostock, Szczecin and Riga. In each of these cities it is possible to travel from the left bank to the right bank, both by individual transport (car) and public transport (bus and tram or trolleybus). The analysis will be based on the road network with OpenStreetMaps and the public transport network. An additional element helpful in the analysis is the spatial component (land use), which is in the form of a 1km2 (GRID) with data on the population for 2006 and 2011. The use of GRID data allows you to compare the population density in different years in each city. Thanks to that, it is possible to identify problem areas and places where there may be worse access. Relations between the location of sources (population) and the public transport network are an important issue from the point of view of justice in access to services.
