Abstract
ABSTRACT This article is a study of cross-border commuters between Slovakia and Hungary, an area with experience of border changes. Many inhabitants have common characteristics such as ethnic identity and language on both sides of the border. Previous literature suggests that these commonalities are related to “familiarity” with the other side of the border, which results in cross-border commuting. In this study of Slovakian Komárno residents, we focus on the previous experience of staying on the other side of the border as a component of “familiarity,” an enhancer for cross-border commuters. The results of a comprehensive deliberation of these factors that constitute “familiarity,” together with other individual characteristics, suggest that it is the previous experience of staying at the cross-border commuting destination (in Hungary) which leads to actual cross-border commuting, and ethnic identity and use of a common language might not have a large effect on the choice of workplace as far as our data are concerned.
