In our comparative analyses we tried to identify those factors that can affect the success of the projects implemented at the border region. We involved three cross-border programs into our analyses and studied the project of the Austria-Hungary, Slovenia-Hungary and Hungary-Croatia Cross-border Co-operation Programmes. In this article we have undertaken to compare the results of these analyses and find out the similarities in the factors determining the project success. We assumed that there are no significant differences among the project success influencing factors in the studied programs, and the same or at least very similar affecting factors...

Over the last decades, climate change has become one of the most relevant issues of modern society. According to the main trends observed in the last decades, it can be concluded that current human efforts are not sufficient to reverse climate change. Therefore, two possible ways of reaction may be envisaged: on the one hand, increasing efforts for prevention and, on the other, preparing for the inevitable changes. As far as the latter is concerned, research on climate change has become a top priority worldwide, as well as, in the European Union, including Hungary. Our sociology working group at Pannon University carried out a research during the years...

Hungarian rural tourism showed significant upward trend in the period of economic crisis both in the 30-es and the 90-es. During the latest crisis since 2009 however the figures reflect dramatic decline. The study presents some of the results of a 2012 survey among rural tourism hosts and describes some of the characterisitics of Hungarian rural tourism of the past 25 years, the strange generation change, the mixed composition of the main stakeholders, and the additional income character of this small scale service.

Since the 1990s the European Union has paid more and more attention to subsidising cross-border developments. Cross-border co-operations are of outstanding importance since the length of the state border is comparatively large and a significant part of the Hungarian inhabitants live in the border region (Horváth, 2002). In the course of our research we studied the success of projects in the frame of the Austria-Hungary Cross-border Cooperation Programme 2007-2013. After a brief introduction of the special characteristics of the border region and cross-border programs our aim was to explore the factors by which the success of the tender projects can...

In the context of the cultural tourism, this paper focuses on the traditional folk event with national importance that is held in the Czech Republic and its name is Porta. The aim is to assess characteristic traits and satisfaction of two age categories of Porta's visitors. Through the realised research among visitors, the importance of segmentation was proved. Hence, it is crucial to focus on getting to know the visitors and their motivation. In addition to that, cultural events are also important for local government. According to the officials of local government, where this event is held, such events are able to attract visitors to the particular...

The aim of this paper is the evaluation of the South Bohemia region's destination attractiveness. The dimensionality of data describing the chosen attractions of the area was reduced by the factor analysis into six factors which served as an input for hot spot analysis. The hot spots analysis identifies clusters of high and low values of the factors. Cluster analysis of factor served then as a tool for a typology of the South Bohemian region according to its attractiveness for tourism. The paper shows the possibilities of spatial statistics and spatial data analysis usage in the evaluation of the area attractiveness. Obtained results can be used in...
