Abstract

A basic prerequisite for the successful realization of the highway corridors is production of plans and projects, which includes a system access and synchronization of multiple activities and actors. The paper analyses more recent experience in the planning and designing of the highway corridors in Serbia, which are the part of the trans-European transport network. Beside the European regulations, to establish trans-European networks, is important the existence of adequate legislative framework and strategic development documents, where the authors emphasize the Spatial plan of the Republic of Serbia and spatial plans for highway corridors. The paper represents the methodological approach and the interaction of two levels of planning - strategic and detailed, in correlation with the designing level, pointing to the significant parallel activities, such as strategic environmental assessments, environmental impact assessment and social acceptability of analysis and processing of spatial database in geographic information systems (GIS). The authors present a matrix of objectives, tasks and conditionality, as well as their procedure of verification, with overview of the state of planned development of motorway corridors in Serbia. The objective of transport corridors development in Serbia is the transformation and implementation of the new cross connection between Western and Eastern parts of the country, which is a condition for regional development and promotes the integration in trans-European networks. Through the conclusions the authors offer guidelines for a methodology of making this specific plans and projects, in order to optimize the time, synchronize phases and support decision making process. Approach in planning process and project documentation preparation for highway roads in Serbia is analyzed on current example of corridor Route 7-E 80, in the section Niš-Priština, as part of a regional transport development in Southeast Europe.
