Sažetak	Accessibility analysis measures how easily opportunities — jobs, shops, clinics, parks — can be reached from a given location, combining the attractiveness (size) of destinations with the cost of travelling to them. The gravity-based formulation introduced by Walter Hansen in 1959 sums the opportunities at all destinations, each discounted by a distance-decay function of travel cost, producing a single accessibility score per origin that has become a foundational concept in transport geography and urban planning.	The space-time cube is a framework from time geography for representing and analyzing phenomena that move and change over both space and time. Two horizontal axes carry geographic location and a vertical axis carries time, so each observation becomes a point in a three-dimensional x–y–t volume and a moving object traces a continuous 'space-time path' through the cube. Introduced conceptually by Torsten Hägerstrand in 1970 and turned into a practical analytic and cartographic tool by Menno-Jan Kraak, it underpins modern spatiotemporal hot-spot and trajectory analysis.
