O článku:
The principal objective of the study is interpretation of the relation between the spatial organization of settlement and the transport system as exemplified by the Czech Republic. In this sense, transport or transport relations are perceived as a real demonstration of the functional and spatial relations generated by the settlement system. Based on methods commonly used for identification of population concentration areas, the article discusses possible identification of transport concentration areas. The methodology of the identification of transport concentration areas is based on spatial asymmetry of transport flows distribution, or more precisely, on road transport volumes established in the Czech Republic on a regular basis every five years. The identified transport concentration areas are then compared to areas with the maximum population density and integrated systems of centres, which correspond to the methods employed to identify the metropolitan areas in the Czech Republic.
