Journal Title: FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA - Year 2016, Vol 58, Issue 2
Abstract
rbanization and its consequences became a new research direction in Central-europe. There were 40 towns in 2016 in northern Hungary, which means that this is the second most urbanised region in Hungary. The region has 12% of all the towns of Hungary, nevertheless it must be emphasized that urbanisation in the region cannot be considered homogeneous either from a regional or from a functional point of view. Considering the regional distribution of new towns by counties it can be said that urbanisation in North Hungary has been significant in the last decade at the national level but a large number of settlements has been ranked as towns in the eastern and north-eastern parts of Hungary. Looking at north Hungary from a regional point of view we can state that some regions are strongly urbanised while there are large rural areas especially along the borders. Especially in the rural areas of the regions significant urbanisation can be observed in the 21st century. The aims of the research were to analyze the changing of the legal aspects of the declaration of towns in Hungary; to reveal the speciality of the process in north Hungary and to analyze the socio-economic aspects of the urbanization in the research area through the analysis of the actor’s point of view. This study reveals the characteristics of this process with using the methodology of comparative data analysis, questionnaire survey and conducting of deep interviews.
