Sažetak
Creating a long-term traffic development strategy by introducing a sustainable traffic system represents a strategic interest of any country, its regions, settlements, towns and cities. In the focus thereof ought to be raising the quality of life of inhabitants and visitors, and ensuring a better mobility for all the users of the traffic system. The City of Bjelovar and the Bjelovar-Bilogora County are very favourably positioned in the geographical and traffic-related sense; nevertheless, the process of the development of the traffic system has not used the full potential of this position. Hence, the strategically and economically important traffic lines oriented East–West and North–South detour this region. This paper analyses the spatial and traffic features of the City of Bjelovar and the Bjelovar-Bilogora County, taking thereby into consideration the potentials for sustainable traffic development and higher-quality integration in relation to the traffic web surrounding this area. The conclusions reached as a result of the conducted analysis present basic tenets needed for defining the follow-up development of a sustainable traffic system of the City of Bjelovar and the Bjelovar-Bilogora County. Since the economic and social development of the City of Bjelovar and the Bjelovar-Bilogora County has been enabled by quality road and railway connections, it is necessary to launch new and improve the present traffic lines oriented East–West and North–South. In addition to connecting the Bjelovar-Bilogora County with national and international traffic lines, the priority lies in improving the internal County traffic system. It is crucial to solidly and sustainably connect the City of Bjelovar with other towns in the County, depending on and in relation to the existing and future traffic-related demand. The City of Bjelovar, being the County centre, ought to set an example for other towns by choosing the best way to manage the traffic system, aimed at achieving the development of the city itself and of the whole Bjelovar-Bilogora County.
