Description Transport belongs to the most dynamical landscape units. Its spatial speed generates time-space compression. Growing speed of movement causes „reducing“ of geographical space which also leads to its alternative perception. By using weighted time accessibility a spatial deformation formula was created. In the research area both regions deforming space positively (time-space convergence) and regions deforming space negatively (time-space divergence) were defined and by using GIS tools these deformations were also expressed cartographically.
