Abstract. Any legal institution is characterized by establishing its own special, unique conceptual apparatus, arising from the specifics of regulated social relations. The accuracy and unambiguity of legal concepts contributes to a common understanding of legal norms, ensures integral regulation of specific social relations, and prevents possible abuses of law. Transportation security, as a legal institution, is no exception. During its establishing, formation and development, there were introduced many new concepts into legal circulation. However, not all of them have received legal definitions to date. Until now, transport security legislation has not defined the concepts of “ground part of a transport infrastructure facility”, “underground part of a transport infrastructure facility”, “air part of a transport infrastructure facility”, and “above-water part of a transport infrastructure facility”. The definition of these concepts is important for planning and implementing measures to ensure transport security. Also, there is no explanation of the purpose of dividing a transport infrastructure facility specifically and only into the above-mentioned parts. The current paper has offered a critical look at the concepts of “ground part of a transport infrastructure facility”, “underground part of a transport infrastructure facility”, “air part of a transport infrastructure facility”, and “above-water part of a transport infrastructure facility”, there has been substantiated the opinion on the advisability of their exclusion from the legislation on transport security.

Keywords: security zone; transport security zone; ground part of the transport infrastructure facility; underground part of a transport infrastructure facility; air part of a transport infrastructure facility; above-water part of a transport infrastructure facility; transport security.
