  • This paper presents some factors influencing investment decision of investors in smaller industrial site location, where the accessibility of the site where industrial activitie s will take place is of the main concern. There was a need for empirical analysis to identify factors which influence location of investments inCentral European Countries and to evaluate how the accessibility to a central place and to the other activities influences investment attractiveness. Empirical study of factors has been completed in Czech Republic, Slovenia and Croatia and the hypotheses about similarities and differences among regions have been tested. Thepaper is the result of complementary study to the core of ATTREG ESPON project, which strive to achieve a better understanding of the contribution of European regions’ and cities’ attractiveness to economic performance. Here we have to differentiate two groups of factors influencing migrations: (a) internal factors which influence the quality of places and (b) those which influenceaccessibility to region.
