Abstract
Spatial mobility is a very broad term in social sciences, and it can take various forms when we consider the mobility of people and things, the mobility of "pictures" or virtual mobility, much like the levels from the global to the international and even up to the micro-level of everyday life. From the mentioned range of topics, which definitely need not be considered exhaustive, it is apparent that transport should not be considered only a technical phenomenon and mobility only a geographical phenomenon. Both terms have a connection with a lot of social phenomena, they are influenced and they influence a range of social processes and structures, as far as the social stratification, change of social relations, social exclusion, or changes in urban spatial patterns is concerned. Transport systems should be developed and operated in such way that they would also support viable economic and a moral society, in which all individuals are alowed to develop their potential and enjoy the everyday quality of life. Additionally, these goals have to be met without the unfavorable influence on the artificial and natural environment in which the society exists.

Summary

At every specific manifestation of transport it is possible to identify both positive and negative social features.

Attention is paid to the social view of demand for transport and its prediction as well
