Dostupnost Prahy při využití silniční dopravy v období 1920-2020

Abstract

This paper analyzes the automobile accessibility of Prague from the Czech territory over a 100-year period: from the creation of independent Czechoslovakia to the planned completion of an arterial network of motorways and high-speed roadways in 2020. Using publications containing information about the evolution of the road network in Czechia, we digitised historical maps and created geodatabases of the road infrastructure. We then produced accessibility models and performed accessibility analyses for four years - 1920, 1960, 2001 and 2020, using ArcGIS 9.3. These were compared and changes in accessibility were identified using cartographic tools.
