  In many border regions of our country, we are witnessing the unfavourable development of socio-economic processes, which also affect the pace of future development and the processes expected in the settlements. Borders, especially in the eastern part of the country, have changed several times, repeatedly blocking the development of a region (Pénzes et al. 2011). Borders can isolate settlements from each other, thus hindering development rather than stimulating connections (Reichman, 1993). In many cases, the impassability of the border itself, the lack of border crossings or their remote location make it difficult to reestablish connections as a functional unit (Pénzes, 2012).
