Achieving sustainable transportation from the perspective of road accessibility and regional correlations of county seats in Hungary

Áron Kovács*, Tamás Tóth, Henrietta Nagy, Imre Lévai

Road traffic is a sub-sector, which has implications for almost all economic activity through transportation, and directly affects the economy and social processes of a region or country. The conscious and sustainable accessibility of the capital and county seats is particularly important in terms of goods distribution, labour mobility and access to services. Necessary research was conducted using Google Maps’ 2022 summer data and Hansen‘s gravity model. The study identifies county seats that require development and facilitates the mapping of regional relationships between the capital and the county seats.
