Juraj Padjen
Sažetak
The paper considers two determinants important for establishing and leading traffic policy in Croatia. The first determinant refers to relief characteristics of Croatia and its influence to traffic net costs. The smaller the costs are the bigger is the possibility and preparedness of a decision bearer to decide upon specific investment undertaking. Low costs increase also probabilities for insurance of required financial resources, for fast and timely completition of proposed project, for more thorough exploitation of planned capacities, reduction of financial obligations and increase of profitableness of resources invested. Contrary to this, high net costs reduce possibilities of investors to achieve adequate profits or benefits, and by this their concern for investment in certain traffic object.The second determinant refers to impact of regional characteristics of Croatian territory on traffic net costs. Differences in natural characteristics of Croatian territory are important for existence of three main regional territories in Croatia: Pannonian (lowland), mountainous and littoral. Each of these territories is characterized by different forms of area, geologic and tectonic structure, climate conditions, location of specific territory and its size. Consequently, there are differences in traffic function of particular territory, in development of its traffic system and the share of specific traffic branches, and by this in costs of traffic net building.
