Transport sufficiency of administrative districts of Volyn region
Abstract
The purpose of the study. The purpose of the study is to analyze the level of transport sufficiency of administrative districts in Volyn region mainly landlocked routes using different quantitative parameters and indicators.
Research methods. The following methods were applied in our research: statistical, comparative, cartographic, method of classification, and system analysis.
Academic novelty. The academic novelty of the study is a comprehensive approach to assessing the transport sufficiency level of administrative districts in Volyn region using the integrated transport sufficiency index, which takes into account simultaneously the density of transport networks per unit of territory and population and security indices calculated by E. Engel, G. Goltz, Yu. Uspensky.
Practical significance. The practical significance of the research results is determined by their further use for optimization and modernization of transport infrastructure in Volyn region.
Research results. The analysis of the transport sufficiency of administrative districts in Volyn region using different quantitative parameters and indicators showed that there is a clear dependence of the land routes length on the area and the configuration of the district's territory and the number of settlements. We calculated the density of roads and railways in the administrative districts of the region per 1000 square kilometers and 1000 inhabitants, as well as indexes of transport sufficiency of E. Engel, G. Goltz, and Yu. Uspensky. The above-mentioned data showed ambiguity in determining the levels of transport sufficiency of districts in the region. For more informative expression of this indicator of transport system functioning in districts, the weighted average value was determined using the agglomerative-hierarchical procedure of normalization of these 7 output parameters. We obtained the synthesized parameter, which can be estimated as an integral index of the transport sufficiency level in Volyn districts. The integral index reflects the cumulative effect of taking into account partial indicators of transport sufficiency and shows the presence of significant spatial differentiation in the transport sufficiency level of the region. According to the values of the integral index of the transport sufficiency level, five types of districts are distinguished by the level of transport sufficiency of their territories. It is established that the highest level of transport sufficiency has the central and southern districts of the region with favorable transport and geographical position and a long network of roads and railways. The northern districts of the region have the lowest level of transport sufficiency due to the forest, swamps, and low level of economic development. The problems of development of transport infrastructure in Volyn region are revealed and the perspective ways of optimizing the level of their transport sufficiency are indicated.
