摘要：Potential benefits of public transportation as a spatial ele-ment are going to be examined. This can relate to permanent infrastructure such as rail tracks, physically separated bus lanes, subway stations etc. These are visually noticeable or otherwise significant built spatial elements and are relatively permanent, which might increase the popularity and use of a public transit service in an area by reassuring potential users of the authori-ties’ strategic commitment to providing high quality transit as well as by becoming part of an areas’ identity. Other physical elements and their design – signage, vehicle appearance, public space redevelopment along corridors etc. – are important in this regard as well, and could either enhance the benefits of perma-nent infrastructure, or they could be used alone to attempt to achieve the same positive effects. The degree to which these elements can be successful depends also on how they are distributed through space, which in this paper is linked to network or line structure. The network should be clear and easy to understand, enabling users to orient them-selves, while also making it easier to apply physical elements which represent the system in space. Thus, the degree to which a public transportation service is represented in space through described elements and their spatial distribution, determines its strength as a spatial marker.
其他摘要：Besedilo obravnava potencialne koristi javnega potniškega pro-meta kot elementa v prostoru. Ta vidik se lahko nanaša na graje-no oz. stalno infrastrukturo; tiri, fizično ločeni avtobusni pasovi, postaje podzemne železnice itd. Gre za vizualno izstopajoče ali kako drugače izrazite, grajene prostorske elemente. Ti lahko po-tencialno pripomorejo k večji popularnosti javnega potniškega prometa, saj s svojo stalnostjo pri uporabnikih ustvarjajo vtis strateške zavezanosti k zagotavljanju kvalitetne storitve javnega prevoza, prav tako pa lahko prestavljajo pomemben del prostor-ske identitete nekega območja. Drugi fizični elementi oz. nji-hova oblikovna zasnova – napisi oz. znamenja, izgled vozil, javni prostori ob koridorju itd. – pa lahko pripomorejo k poudarjanju prednosti grajenih oz. stalnih elementov, ali pa se za dosego prej opisanih pozitivnih učinkov uporabljajo samostojno. Uspešnost opisanih elementov pa je odvisna tudi od njihove prostorske porazdelitve, kar se v članku obravnava skozi zas-novo omrežja linij. Ta mora biti jasna in razumljiva, s čimer se uporabnikom olajša orientacijo, prav tako pa takšna zasnova omogoča učinkovitejšo prezentacijo sistema skozi prostorske elemente. Uspešnost javnega potniškega prometa kot pros-torskega označevalca je torej odvisna od njegove zastopanosti v prostoru skozi opisane prostorske elemente in od lokacijske razporeditve le teh.
