Daily migrations of citizens as a transport demand factor

One of the inevitable phenomena that have appeared during the overall evolution of humanity, i.e. human as a natural individual and social being - is certainly the daily migration or movement (circulation, commuting) that makes it possible to realise the necessities of life on the relation between the place of living and the places of primary existential and social needs such as work, education, supply and cultural and physical recreation. This phenomenon is the more emphasised as the urban environment is covering a territorially and demographically larger area. Consequently, the social and traffic problems in such areas are greater as direct result of the mentioned needs. Therefore, one of the imperatives of the modern interdisciplinary population science is certainly the study of mobility of citizens in a certain area, in order to find optimal solutions of these intriguing complex social and transport problems regarding the interdependence of the daily migrations and urban-suburban transport of the inhabitants of a certain area, i.e. their interdependence within a unique functional unit defined by space and time of study. This work (taking the City of Zagreb as an example) has attempted to analyse the given problem diagnosed in Croatia, hoping at the same time that it will contribute to accepting concrete solutions and to implementing them in practice.
