Abstract

: Commuting, defined as daily traveling for employment purposes, has gradually grown in importance in the past decades in Eastern European countries. According to Eurostat, although the freedom of movement may have encouraged cross-border commuting in the EU, it accounted just for 0.9 % of the EU-28 workforce. Between the highest number of cross-border commuters, we can find Slovakian (147 thousand), and Hungarian (111 thousand) workers. We chose this topic because there has been a significant increase in the willingness to commute for economic reasons in recent years, and we want to explore the reasons of this. In the case of both examined countries, the inhabitants of the western regions are characterized by high willingness for cross-border commuting. Due to this reason, in own research, we conducted a questionnaire survey in the western regions of Hungary and Slovakia. The results indicate that there are similarities between Hungarian and Slovakian commuters. The regression analysis clearly showed that commuter satisfaction is most affected by the variety of jobs offered and the level of wages.

匈牙利西部与斯洛伐克跨境通勤者空间流动性分析

：通勤，被定义为以就业为目的的日常旅行，在过去几十年中，在东欧国家的重要性逐渐增加。根据欧盟统计局的数据，尽管行动自由可能鼓励了欧盟的跨境通勤，但它仅占欧盟28国劳动力的0.9%。在跨境通勤人数最多的国家中，我们可以找到斯洛伐克（14.7万）和匈牙利（11.1万）的工人。我们选择这个话题是因为近年来由于经济原因通勤的意愿显著增加，我们想探究其中的原因。在这两个被审查国家的情况下，西部地区的居民的特点是跨境通勤意愿很高。由于这个原因，在自己的研究中，我们在匈牙利和斯洛伐克的西部地区进行了问卷调查。结果表明，匈牙利和斯洛伐克的通勤者有相似之处。回归分析清楚地表明，通勤者的满意度受提供的工作种类和工资水平的影响最大。

期刊介绍： Geographia Technica is a journal devoted to the publication of all papers on all aspects of the use of technical and quantitative methods in geographical research. It aims at presenting its readers with the latest developments in G.I.S technology, mathematical methods applicable to any field of geography, territorial micro-scalar and laboratory experiments, and the latest developments induced by the measurement techniques to the geographical research. Geographia Technica is dedicated to all those who understand that nowadays every field of geography can only be described by specific numerical values, variables both oftime and space which require the sort of numerical analysis only possible with the aid of technical and quantitative methods offered by powerful computers and dedicated software. Our understanding of Geographia Technica expands the concept of technical methods applied to geography to its broadest sense and for that, papers of different interests such as: G.l.S, Spatial Analysis, Remote Sensing, Cartography or Geostatistics as well as papers which, by promoting the above mentioned directions bring a technical approach in the fields of hydrology, climatology, geomorphology, human geography territorial planning are more than welcomed provided they are of sufficient wide interest and relevance.
