Transportation development of territories
Semantic content of the concepts of «territory development» and «transportation development level» is analyzed. Six morphological elements of the transportation development of a territory (area of continuous development, external axes, inner lacunas, marginal zones, isolated nodes, and undeveloped area) were identified as well as five spatial modes of the transportation development of territories (linear, dendrite, cluster, consolidating, continuous). The process of transportation development of a territory includes four phases. Five types of regions and nodes are distinguished in the area of continuous development, one in the marginal zone, and six in undeveloped areas («economic wilderness»).
