THE EFFECT OF RESIDENTIAL SUBURBANIZATION ON TRANSPORT AND ITS REGULATION THROUGH SPATIAL PLANS IN PRAGUE'S EASTERN HINTERLAND
Sagač, Roman ; Perlín, Radim (advisor) ; Košík, Michal (referee)
One of the most frequently mentioned negative effects of suburbanisation is the effect on traffic. New suburb residents daily commute to the centre of the urban region to work and to access services. Unlike the original residents, they use cars more extensively as a means of transport. This causes high traffic volume on roads (especially those which are radially oriented), which were not designed for it. As a consequence, traffic congestion during peak hours occurs regularly. This problem can be solved through a variety of measures. This thesis focuses only on one group of measures - tools of spatial planning. In the case of Prague, suburban housing has developed extremely quickly over the last 20 years. As a result, the problem and its solution are even more difficult. Pressure on land use in the city's hinterland is greater than in Western Europe, where the suburbanization process took place gradually. Moreover, spatial planning tools were affected by changes in public administration (formation of regions). The thesis models the impact of residential suburbanization on traffic. It then examines whether spatial planning tools are sufficient to control that impact or if there is a threat that traffic should become a barrier to development. Prague's hinterland has experienced increases in traffic...
