The article attempts to explain different impacts of border effect on different types of borders and the question of whether the border effect has a greater intensity at the national border than at the border between the regions of one country and how big this difference is. The hypothesis was tested on a case study of the Liberec region, located in the Czech Republic at the border with Poland and Germany (part of Euroregion Nisa ? Neisse ? Nysa). For quantifying the border effect, the gravity model of spatial interactions was used. By comparing the expected spatial interaction (the result of the gravity model) and the real spatial interaction (average daily traffic measured on the road), the power of border effect was calculated. The results show that the negative impact of border effect is greater at national borders, but not so much (spatial interactions attenuation is about 30%), because many years of cross-border cooperation in the region and entry to the Schengen area helped to mitigate the negative effects considerably. However, the negative impacts of the border effect are visible at all types of borders, thus creating an obstacle to the sustainable long-term development of regions along these borders. The results are presented in the form of maps showing geographical context on the Czech-Polish-German border. Furthermore, the socio-cultural and political causes and consequences of this situation are discussed as well as recommendations for mitigation of negative impacts of the border effect.
