Abstract

Željeznica ima vodeću ulogu u prijevozu putnika u Japanu. To se poglavito odnosi na najveće japanske gradove. Željeznički sustav predstavlja učinkovito rješenje za zemlju siromašnu prirodnim sirovinama, odnosno ovisnu o uvozu fosilnih goriva. Otkako su izgrađeni prvi željeznički pravci u Japanu, postali su kralježnica razvoja prometa između velikih gradova i njihovih predgrađa. Metropolitanska područja gradova radijalno su se širila u smjeru željezničke pruge. Postupnim širenjem nacionalne mreže željeznica, postignuta je integracija urbanog sustava Japana, a najveći su gradovi povezani u jedinstvenu cjelinu. Dobra prometna povezanost dovela je do snažnog razvoja industrije i gospodarstva Japana. Brojne japanske tehnološke inovacije okosnica su modernog prometnog razvoja. To se prije svega odnosi na izgradnju mreže brze željeznice, svjetski poznatog Shinkansena. Značajno je povećana prometna dostupnost, ali i kvaliteta putovanja. Zbog svoje neosporne uloge u prostornom i povijesnom razvoju Japana, željeznice se u posljednje vrijeme često uključuju upravo u programe prostornog planiranja i regionalnog razvoja.

Abstract (english)

Railways hold the leading part in transportation of passengers in Japan. That applies mostly to major Japanese cities. Railway system represents efficient solution for country that lacks raw materials and is dependent on importing fossil fuels. Since first rail lines have been built in Japan, they have become the spine of transport development between major cities and their respective suburbs. Urban metropolitan areas have been spread radially along with rail lines. National railway network spread gradually, which resulted in integration of Japanese urban system, and major cities were connected into a unique complex. Good traffic connection led to enormous industrial an economic development of Japan. Numerous Japanese technological innovations are the framework for modern traffic development. That especially refers to the construction of high-speed rail network, widely known Shinkansen. Transport accessibility and traveling quality have significantly increased. Railways have great role in spatial and historical development of Japan, therefore they are often included in the projects of spatial planning and regional development.
