Sažetak
The everyday activities of people urge the necessity of mobility in space, where spaces differ in their transportation characteristics, which leads to a different impact of transporation on the everyday life of the people who live in them. The Municipality of Sveti Ivan Žabno was chosen for the study as a case study of spatial differences in transporation characteristics. In this municipality there is a pronounced spatial polarization in terms of transportation characteristics. Thus, depending on the distance from the main transportation routes, it is possible to distinguish the areas with more favorable and less favorable transportation characteristics. The aim of this paper is to define the spatial differentiation of the impact of transportation on the everyday life of people living along and away from the main roads in the Municipality. The methodology of the study is based on the qualitative method of the interview and the use of GIS. Research has shown that young people and older people had more difficulties with transportation than adults. This was particularly pronounced in the part of the Municipality further away from the main transportation routes, where the possibility of using public transportation was difficult and the problem of the difficulty of people's participation in everyday activities was pronounced. Along the main roads the question of safety of pedestrians and cyclists arose due to the lack of sidewalks and cycle paths.
