A fejlett országokban az állattenyésztés kedvezőtlen környezeti hatásai egyre inkább a figyelem középpontjába kerülnek, mint például az üvegházhatású gázok (metán, ammónia és dinitrogén-oxid) kibocsátása. Emellett olyan gazdasági és társadalmi problémák is megjelentek, mint az agrárgazdálkodók elöregedése, a kisgazdaságok és a háztáji állattartás v...
Globally, dramatic changes in park visitation have accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic. In general, cities have experienced an overall increase in park visitation after strict lockdowns imposed in the pandemic’s first wave have been removed. However, previous research conducted in Hungary has demonstrated that park visitation varied across parks with...
A klímaváltozáshoz való alkalmazkodás ma már mindenütt sürgető feladat, azonban vannak olyan térségek, ahol különösen nehéz a kedvezőtlen hatások enyhítése. Ilyen a Duna-Tisza közi Homokhátság (röviden Homokhátság, vagy DTkH), amely európai viszonylatban is kifejezetten sérülékeny, súlyos környezeti gondokkal küzdő földrajzi régió. A Homokhátság sz...
Despite continuous population decline or stagnation, many Central and Eastern European cities experience urban sprawl and expansion, accompanied by excessive land take and land use change. This paper investigates recent trends in land take and land use change in Hungarian cities, aiming to identify the drivers of these processes. The study utilizes...
For the programming period of 2021–2027, the European Union (EU) encourages and supports cities and towns across the community to take action to enlarge their green infrastructure and develop and improve urban green spaces. As the provision of equal opportunities is a horizontal principle of the EU, the needs of vulnerable and disabled people are c...

Observing reactions and responses to climate change worldwide, we think climate policies cannot exert their impact sufficiently. Consequently, studying the climate policy paradigms (CPPs) shaped by the dominant environmental ideas and climate objectives is essential. This paper analyses the CPPs in the Visegrad Countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, P...
Számos szerzővel egyetértve úgy véljük, hogy a klímaváltozás kedvezőtlen hatásainak enyhítésében a városoknak kulcsfontosságú szerepük van. A magyarországi nagyvárosokban 2018-tól – az adaptációt és mitigációt előtérbe helyező EU-s törekvések nyomán – a lokális szintű klímavédelem alapvető elvárássá vált, és elindult a helyi klímastratégiák kidolgo...
A growing body of literature demonstrates that the accessibility of urban green spaces may differ across ethnic, minority, racial, and socioeconomic groups. In post-socialist Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, income has become the most critical factor influencing where people may reside in a city, as well as to the extent to which they...
There are regions in Europe that are particularly vulnerable both environmentally and socially. Hungary's Sand Ridge in the Danube–Tisza Interfluve (Homokhátság in Hungarian) is considered such a region. The water balance of these lowland landscapes has been negative for decades, and complex ecological and social problems have escalated in parallel...
Tanulmányunk a Duna-Tisza-közi Homokhátság táji teherbíró képességét vizsgálja. A tájhasználat vizsgálatához 5x5 km-es felbontásban környezeti, mezőgazdasági és gazdasági adatokat vizsgáltunk. Az elemzés elsősorban a Homokhátság természeti erőforrásainak a mezőgazdasághoz kötődő túlhasználati értékelésére koncentrál. Az eredmények rávilágítanak azo...

Globally, accelerating urbanization has led to a severe shortage of urban green spaces. This scarcity is particularly acute in inner cities with high population densities and ratios of built-up areas. To explore park visitors' usage and perceptions, we present the results of a survey of 681 individuals from different socioeconomic groups conducted...
Sweeping changes in park visitation have accompanied the Covid-19 pandemic. In countries where governments imposed strict lockdowns during the first wave, park visitation declined in cities. The benefits of visiting urban green spaces on people’s mental and physical health and well-being are generally acknowledged; many people in confinement during...
Livestock farming in developed countries faces adverse environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. Moreover, economic and social issues have emerged, such as farm concentration and the aging of farmers. Consequently, the decline of small farms and household animal husbandry substantially impacted rural communities, posi...
Climate change is a critical challenge for cities, so urban communities are increasingly responsible for climate protection. Hungarian cities started thinking and acting to reduce their GHG emission and carbon footprint in the late 2000s. Thanks to the increasing focus on environmental issues and the European Green Deal, this process received a new...
Worldwide, due to rapid urbanization, the provision of urban green spaces (UGSs) has become a primary goal of urban planning. As such, research on the benefits, effects, and challenges of UGSs has gained widespread attention among scholars. This paper comprehensively analyzes three decades of UGS research and its evolution; it conducts a bibliometr...
In the Hungarian cities, large-scale investments have recently been carried out or are being planned. Most of the investments focused the modernization and renovation of existing line sections, but there are also examples of new lines being built. Due to the increasing demands placed on rail transport (reduction of noise and vibration loads, as wel...
In developed countries, livestock farming faces significant global challenges, including adverse environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and pollution from industrial animal husbandry. These negative processes were accompanied by the disappearance of livestock breeding from backyards and small farms’ demise in recent decades. A...
A mérvadó nemzetközi irodalom szerint 1990 előtt az egyik legfontosabb különbség a szocialista és kapitalista városok között az volt, hogy előbbiek sűrűbb beépítésű, viszonylag kompakt szerkezetűek maradtak. Ugyanakkor az 1989-90-es rendszerváltozás megváltoztatta e városok térszerkezetét, részben a szuburbanizációnak és a nyomá-ban járó városi szé...
Kecskeméttől háromféle távolságban elhelyezkedő, a szuburbanizációtól eltérő mértékben érintett településeken összesen 150 előkertben vizsgáltuk meg az ott előforduló fásszárú növényzet faj- és egyedszámát. Az előkertekben leggyakrabban egy faj, illetve két egyed fordult elő, de voltak 8 vagy több fajt és 14 vagy több egyedet felmutató előkertek is...
Today, the world’s agriculture faces
many environmental, economic and social
challenges, such as managing the effects of
climate change, preserving agrobiodiversity
or feeding the Earth’s growing population.
Unfortunately, the responses to these
problems often induce partially contradictory
development directions, as in the case of
digitization and...
As the open access movement has gained widespread popularity in the scientific community , academic publishers have gradually adapted to the new environment. The pioneer open access journals have turned themselves into megajournals, and the subscription-based publishers have established open access branches and have turned subscription-based journa...
The world’s agriculture faces many challenges nowadays, such as tackling the effects of climate change, conserving agrobiodiversity, or feeding the Earth’s growing population. These issues often induce conflicting development directions, such as digitalization and ecologization, as the case of the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) s...
The growing concentration of people and wealth often results in imbalances of resource consumption and carrying capacity, therefore, the sustainability assessment of urbanization can offer an important basis for global sustainable transition. This paper aims to provide an analysis of the environmental sustainability of urbanization in Hungary focus...
The provision of urban green spaces (UGS) within a reasonable walking distance/time for each resident has become a major challenge of urban planning. We provide a novel method to map the availability of UGS for different socio-economic groups in cities using a demand–supply composite index (DSCI). Budapest, the capital city of Hungary, has been cho...
Today, the world's agriculture faces many environmental, economic and social challenges. Answers to problems often induce development directions that are partly opposed to each other, such as in the case of digitization and ecologization. In our research, we identified the most important sustainability challenges affecting agriculture, the food ind...
Protecting nature and conserving biodiversity in habitats are now important principles worldwide. But the use of conservation areas in many cases affected by agriculture and tourism too. In this paper, we aim to summarise the cooperation and conflicts between nature conservation, agriculture, and tourism in the Kiskunság National Park (KNP), lookin...
Since the collapse of communism, countries in Central and Eastern Europe have experienced significant socio-economic changes that have affected the urban landscape and the spatial organization of cities. These processes have also generated significant changes in the availability of urban green spaces for local residents, resulting in new forms of i...
Nature-based tourism has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically impacted the tourism sector and triggered contradictory processes, even in protected areas. This phenomenon opens up new opportunities for nature-based tourism from the perspective of rural development. In this study, we assess the rela...
National parks and other forms of protection ensure the natural values in the European Union. However, a significant part of protected areas is under agricultural cultivation, and the two sectors have been kind of opponents to each other for a long time. In the last 50 years, because of various socio-economic changes, the European and Hungarian agr...
Access to urban green spaces and environmental inequalities are increasingly on the agenda in contemporary cities due to increasing density of people, widening social inequalities, and limited access to Urban Green Spaces (UGS). This is even so in post-socialist cities where recent urban sprawl and suburbanisation could be strongly linked to the sc...
The loss of farmland to urban use in peri-urban areas is a global phenomenon. Urban sprawl generates a decline in the availability of productive agricultural land around cities, causing versatile conflicts between nature and society and threatening the sustainability of urban agglomerations. This study aimed to uncover the spatial pattern of long-t...
This paper aspires to provide a thorough overview of the transformation of the Hungarian agricultural sector from 1990 through to 2020. After a brief historical outline, three decades of changes and the present state are discussed in the context of the legislative framework, farm and ownership structure, production structure, land use and ecologica...
Our lifestyle, and our actions as individuals and as well as communities have a significant impact on the landscapes around us. In this regard, we accept the assumption that the current environmental paradigm is manifested in the appearance of cultural landscapes. Thus, state ideas, central strategies, resource management, implemented development p...
Társadalmi életünk összetett mechanizmusok révén jelentős hatást gyakorol a tájakra. Úgy véljük, hogy ezen összetett földrajzi területi egységek állapotában az állami elképzelések, fejlesztési irányelvek, az intézményesült struktúrák, valamint a közösségi és egyéni érdekek és cselekvések is egyaránt megnyilvánulnak. Feltevésünk szerint a kultúrtája...
Former state-socialist cities were described by the literature as compact and relatively dense urban forms. However, the political transition of 1989–90 has changed the spatial characteristics of these cities, partly due to urban sprawl. Yet, we do not know if such a phenomenon as “sprawl” did exist before 1989. The main aim of this paper is to ass...
The Hungarian agricultural sector underwent a series of transformations in the last hundred years. The starting point of it was the land redistribution immediately after the Second World War, followed by the first wave of (Soviet type) collectivisation between 1948 and 1953. The second wave of collectivisation after the Hungarian Uprising of 1956 w...
This chapter makes an attempt to model the land cover changes of Hungary and create predictions for the future. To perform the modelling task, the Land Change Modeler v2.0 for ArcGIS software was used. From the available options, the Multi-Layer Perceptron method was selected. The 1990 and 2006 Corine Land Cover maps were served as basemaps for the...
Closing the development gap between rural and urban areas is one of the most important issues and social challenges both in Europe and in Hungary. However, because the main rural disadvantages and the connected scientific conceptions and pro-fessional approaches may differ from country to country or even region to region, it is very difficult to gi...
This article explores residential segregation and its characteristics in medium-sized and small towns in the Southern Great Plain statistical region of Hungary. The study highlights the main features and driving forces of segregation connected to post-communist urban development. We are approaching this from the perspective of the following questio...

Sprašujejo se predvsem o tem, kako so segregacijski procesi povezani z...
This paper provides an example for regional scale analysis of climate vulnerability incorporating environmental as well as socio-economic indicators. Researches have focused on different aspects of climate vulnerability so far, but usually there is little connection between the physical and social dimensions. Our study provides a more complex analy...
In Hungary, the aridification primarily affects the Great Hungarian Plain, most specifically the “Homokhátság” area which is part of the Danube-Tisza Interfluve. On the basis of our experience gained in the past 15 years, we would like to give an insight into the complex problems of this rural region. Our starting point is the aridification process...

A klímaváltozás kutatása – a problémának az emberiségre gyakorolt hatásai és azok lehetséges következményei miatt – napjainkban egyre nagyobb figyelmet kap a gazdaság- és társadalomtudományi vizsgálatokban. Publikációnkban a nemzetközi trendekhez csatlakozva egy dél-alföldi regionális léptékű elemzést mutatunk be, melyben egyrészt a környezeti, más...
The definition and delimitation of rural areas, the process of rural restructuring and rural differentiation have been in the focus of scientific debates for decades. While many believe that there is an exact way for defining and objectively describing rural areas, others doubt that a universal and timeless definition of rural can be developed. Aft...
Scattered farms are characteristic settlement types of Hungary whose historical roots go back centuries. Most of the farms are situated in the "Kiskunság Region" - an area lying between the Danube and Tisza Rivers. Nowadays, this rural region can be described as having complex settlement-environmental problems, such as the homogenisation of local l...
Az „emberközpontú” fenntarthatóság szemlélete szerint csak a gazdasági fejlődés bizonyos fokáig jelentkeznek a negatív hatások, és a fejlődés további szakaszaiban a technológiai előrelépésnek köszönhetően a gazdaság fejlődése nem jár majd a környezet romlásával, és növeli a társadalmi jólétet. A tapasztalatok azonban mindezidáig azt mutatják, hogy...
