Abstract
Regional competitiveness is strongly dependent on the accessibility of a region. Innovative tools are sought for analysis and prediction. The precedent analysis is one of these tools1. Through this analysis we can compare disparate variables. We can describe and analyse stocks and flows too. This way we can compare transport infrastructure changes and economic variables changes. There is a possibility to describe the evolution and impact on the environment By using the first precedence of this analysis we can find the frequency of observed changes in the area. The range (distance) changes of selected variables in the area we find by using multiple precedence. The article demonstrates the method on the example of road access to regions of the Czech Republic. Comparing different types of region's roads were created directions border flows. These flows were described by binary precedence matrices. Square precedence matrices have been calculated for all regions and groups of roads. Thus were made multiple precedencies. Those precedencies are recorded by matrices, charts and maps. By using the criteria there can be set a boundary threshold. For the basic research the threshold is set around the average values. To determine the direction of flow of the individual variables can be used multicriteria threshold. For the demonstration of the method there is applied the difference of observed variables averages. Referred method allows comparing the increases and decreases in the values of selected road network The article compares the percentage ratios of the sums given for regions and sums given for road types. For the basic understanding and for demonstration of the method there have been compared the precedence in two categories by quality. Comparison is done on the highway and motorway and from the first to third class local roads. Above mentioned method is further extended for example by the monitoring of border flows or cyclical events. Binary matrices are use for research of the precedence existence. By using of numeric precedence matrices there can be defined the frequency of precedence.
