The first part of the research analyzes the size of traffic areas in the time of traditional agrarian society in the first half of the 19th century. Next, the paper presents the degree of growth of traffic areas in different types of settlements in the following 200 years. However, not only the degree of growth of traffic areas is important, but also the changing relation between traffic areas and other built-up areas, or the relation between traffic areas and the number of inhabitants. On the basis of the performed analyses of changes in traffic areas we will be able to assess how far individual settling patterns in Slovenia meet the standards of sustainable development.

COBISS.SI-ID: 34618157The paper will discuss impacts of transport infrastructure growth over the last two decades from an inter- and intra-regional perspective. I will show how the transportation infrastructure has changed in the last 10 to 15 years. I will show that a bulk of these changes can be attributed to the large scale motorway construction, partly to the railway construction and in smaller part to the general suburbanisation of the territory. Later on I will try to show the effects of large scale transportation investments on spatial daily practices of the population. I will focus on daily commuters and their changing statistics, where there is a clear correlation among the new motorway infrastructure and commuting flows, which follow the new infrastructure corridors.
