Determinants of management of the modern landside areas

Modern airports and neighboring areas are characterized by functional integration, conducive to the targeted space management. Airports, in addition to strictly aerial functions, participate in non-aeronautical business activities. Such business activity generates economic benefits for all participants of the market environment and in many airports they exceed revenues from basic activity. The determinants of the scale and directions of development of landside areas are external factors (location, spatial, geopolitical, formal and legal) and internal (market, economic, marketing, environmental, other) individualized for particular airports. The dynamic development of processes and their effects justify the purposefulness of the problem and its exemplification. For its presentation, the method of verifying source literature and accumulated research material was used.
