The goal of the paper is to search for the state environmental conditions for an effective urban governance by the analysis of the Hungarian processes of the last six years. The survey is focused, on the one hand, on Hungarian towns considered as small and medium-sized towns by European scales; on the other hand, the conditions for the birth of co-operations between these towns and their regions, and among the different sectors are also emphasised. This is the viewpoint from which the paper tries to grab the content and tools of Hungarian urban policy, and the special features of this policy. It is also crucial in this respect how the reform programme...

The cities of Central and Eastern Europe have recognized those trends, which are already visible in the Western Europe on cultural sphere. The Western European cities generate development of society and economy based on culture. These trends came up with the age of knowledge-based economy. The cultural economy and the creative economy are spreading more and more in the Western Europe. The progress is helped by the European Union through several cultural project. For example the European Capital of Culture program. Participation in this process has become a strategic weapon for cities seeking to attract cultural visitors. Nowadays, the event has certainly...

Festival tourism is a dynamically developing area of tourism which is supported by the growing number of festival tourists and by the strengthening of traveling motivations to festivals. The festivals have become very important attractions of the cities and regions. The number of rural cities' festivals which are mainly for the local communities, is growing by leaps and bounds, but the number of festivals specifically for tourists is also high. The tourist impacts of festivals could be analyzed at economical, physical, environmental, social and cultural levels, but the socio-cultural impact is an under-researched field. In this study we analyzed rural...

The inspiration that drove us to this study is that conventional tourism in Albania is focused more on promoting seaside, cultural tourism, luxury resorts, etc. which has demonstrated a good trend. At the same time, specific parts of the country have been abandoned due to their underdeveloped situation. Given their assets as constructed and indigenous habitat, they progressively appear as regions for rural tourism development. It could provide good development opportunities in remote mountainous areas that every day more are abandoned by the population because they do not have enough employment opportunities. But as for other rural areas which have...

Immigrants can contribute significantly to the economic and social development of regions or urban areas. Some key figures on migration are thus traditionally used in studies on local development. Beyond the usual description of migratory movements, two research fields are often in the centre of controversies, namely the labour market and the inclusion of immigrants. Comparing the European regions, the phases of urban development as well as the relevant internal and external factors present a mixed picture in Europe. At the same time, the dynamics of migratory movements and the reactions of national and subnational policies also vary. The Member States...

The key issue of contemporary planning is that it has to work within and respond to the scarcity of resources. The competition for land is particularly intense in growth areas, especially around cities, where suburbanisation is accelerating and causes fundamental change of the evolved settlement pattern and the structure of land use. Planning in this situation must perform the difficult role of mediator in the competition for land, guiding the growth process and at the same time saving and protecting the open spaces which are indispensable for healthy living and are significant natural heritage. The integrated decision support systems (DSS) are more...

The paper deals with the topic of functional regionalization and demonstrates some of the possible delimitation methodologies on the basis of commuting to work dataset provided by the 2011 census in Hungary. The main objective of the study is to compare the results of the different methods on the basis of the resulted territorial divisions, their centres and hinterlands.The method of local labour systems (LLS), the method of labour market areas (LMA) - called as EURO method - and the CURDS measure are introduced, applied and compared. The results of the calculations clearly demonstrate the different characters of the methods.The results of...

The territorial social and economic inequality is one of the most fundamental characteristics of space economics. There are not two points in the space which have the same characteristics, because their economic, social and cultural parameters are different. The existence of territorial inequalities is a significant problem also in the case of Hungary with special regards on the settlements of the Northern Hungarian region. The aim of my research is to examine the spatial patterns of the EU supports and the income per employee in the case of the Northern Hungarian region's settlements and to analyze what kind of effect the supports have on the dispersion...

During the recovery after the economic crisis, much academic and policy attention was diverted to the role of cities as growth hubs all over Europe and the world. Significant economic disparities are a long-standing problem for the United Kingdom as a whole, which have been growing for decades and are remarkably high among the most developed OECD and EU countries. To investigate recent spatial processes, the methodology of our research relies on comparative spatial data analysis and literature review. Our analyses will cover the issue of a spatially more balanced development based on the "northern powerhouse" initiative which builds upon the collective...

Economic development of a municipality is highly depended on organizations and institutions, which services target local entrepreneurs and other economic actors. In the summer of 2015 we have collected and mapped the services of organizations with the function of economic development in the Hungarian city, Győr. Through our research we could identify the services and the characteristics of linkages and cooperation of the economic development organizations (EDOs). Most important findings of the study are the followings: activity of the organizations has a wide range. Some of them are presented in more organizations at the same time. Level of diversification...

Innovation intermediary organizations play a significant role in the national innovation systems as they provide services for the actors of the innovation network. Their main goal is to connect these actors to promote knowledge exploitation and -transfer. In the past 12 years intermediaries were founded and developed in Hungary, however, the effectiveness of their service was not measured comprehensively. This paper presents the main results of an analysis examining the effectiveness of their offered services.

Demographic changes (population decline) and their (urban) consequences are a real challenge for the small and medium-sized towns of Europe and Hungary. The research question concerning this phenomenon is: how to deal with urban shrinkage and is there any proper and overall answer to this process? Although there is no universal cure for the maintenance and development of these towns, nor for stopping demographic shrinkage, resilience and local culture can provide good conditions to deal with the urban issues raised. Kisújszállás, the cultural capital of Great Cumania can be a good example of how the function-extending renewal of a historical building...
