CONTRIBUTION TO TRAFFIC PLANNING METHODOLOGY IMPROVEMENT

The subject of this paper is the influence of regional traffic planning on the global development of a selected regional community by monitoring the effects of the construction of the traffic infrastructure. The alterations in local and regional strategies made in order to improve the model of the traffic plans and implement the process of strategic and project management are also analysed. Feasibility / Justifiability studies of the capital traffic infrastructure usually do not comprise either the analyses of the qualitative and quantitative development improvements due to the construction of the infrastructure, or their effects on the economy. The absence of planning and monitoring the impact of the large-scale state projects on the local community poses a special problem. It makes setting strategic goals on the part of the local community particularly difficult. The analysis of the traffic plans and strategies clearly shows that local economic potentials have not sufficiently been taken into account. Therefore, the basic idea is to amend the methodology of devising traffic strategies. The interaction of the traffic and other economic activities is also analysed. The agreement of economic indicators harmonized in the European traffic flows is a precondition for starting logistic industry in the Karlovac County as a selected regional community. The traffic position of the Republic of Croatia, the existing regional and local strategies are analysed from the point of view of their quality and the correlation of foreign trade and the demographic distribution. The application of various scientific methods and fundamental research that has been carried out show the necessity of introducing innovative methods in the process of strategic planning. The authors suggest improving methodologies in drafting traffic strategies and the application of the strategic and project management.
