One country, different borders: The motivation factors for cross-border mobility
Original language description
This study focuses on the motivation for cross-border mobility among inhabitants of mainly border regions. The principal objective is to identify the key factors that motivate residents towards cross-border mobility and whether there is a deviation from the perceived motivation to travel abroad compared to natural travel flows. The distance, border nature, municipality size, and purpose for cross-border mobility were successively analysed in our research. The research is based on a survey involving 668 municipalities, of which 230 (34%) lie in border regions, defined as an area within 30 kilometres of a national border, and 438 (66%) lie in the inland areas. This sample represents more than one-tenth of Czech municipalities. The results show that proximity to the national border and the neighbour’s economic strength were essential factors that created the preconditions for cross-border mobility. An important finding confirmed the relationship between proximity to the national border and commuting for work and services. Commuting to schools and for education was identified as a critical weakness. Furthermore, respondents living in borderland areas tended to overestimate their cross-border mobility on average by one-third over actual cross-border mobility flows, while respondents in inland areas tended to underestimate their cross-border mobility.
