Combinational theory and structuration theory provide a basis for the incorporation of innovative views of place within an ontological framework. Geographers can identify similar patterns of nodes in places and in communication media. These patterns
, or topologies, provide a set of opportunities and constraints for social interaction. When topologies in computer networks replicate the topologies in familiar places, certain elements of social structuration are shared. This sharing lends validity to claims
about virtual place. Political and social implications of computer networking are explored.

The aim of this study is to point to the state of the railway network and the position of the railway transport in Slovakia ; to assess the accessibility of the railway in terms of accessibility of the nearest railway station of passenger transport
from the individual communes and to point to regional disparities in the matter. Regional disparities in railway accessibility were assessed based on the maximum distance from the commune to the nearest railway station and based on the mean weighted
distance from the commune to the nearest railway station. The effect of closing the passenger transport on 15 regional tracks for the level of railway station accessibility was also assessed. - (BJ)
