Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the authors wish to introduce an application of the gravitational model through a concrete example. In their investigation, the gravitational model was transformed to analyse the impact of accessibility in a way that not only the size of gravitational forces but their direction can also be measured. Displacements were illustrated by a bidimensional regression, which gives a new perspective to the investigation of the Hungarian spatial structure.
