Viktor Varjú

DETUROPE - The Central European Journal of Regional Development and Tourism 2020, 12(3):13-36 | DOI: 10.32725/det.2020.020  

This paper aims to present environmental policy integration and its success on settlement level in Hungary. To do so, firstly, the author gives an overview in historical perspective of the rise of environmental protection and environmental policy taking a look at the international level and Hungary. Secondly, the summary of the author's empirical researches in the topic in the past decades draws the readers' attention to the role of the impact of the recent recentralization process in Hungary on the environmental actions at urban level, and also highlights the role of the size of settlement in environmental policy. The analyses show that the lack of...

The average temperature of the world over the past 100 years has ri sen by 0.6°C. The rising temperature will likely present a big challenge for society and the environment in the future. The population has the ability to respond to it in a variety of ways, especially nowadays when technology is evolving daily. In order to reduce the harmful impacts of climate change and allow communities to thrive in the face of it, adaptation strategies are needed. These strategies need to be accepted by local and national governments, households, and industry. This paper has aimed to derive information about each and discuss the best solution. A theory of smart...

The Economic Structure and Performance of the Catchment Area of the Hungarian Regional Centers

Judit Berkes

DETUROPE - The Central European Journal of Regional Development and Tourism 2020, 12(3):58-81 | DOI: 10.32725/det.2020.022  

This study examines the economic structure and performance of urban catchment areas. The five largest Hungarian regional centers are a traditional part of the Hungarian city network, as they are the five most populous cities after Budapest. The approach of territorial research is increasingly focused on the fact that the city as a center should not be studied without its immediate surroundings (agglomeration, region, catchment area). This study also keeps this in mind. The data were processed for the period between 1992 and 2015, on the basis of which the change can also be examined. Development trajectories show very different tendencies; Győr operates...

Miskolc - a Central and Eastern European City in the Crossroads

Viktória Józsa

DETUROPE - The Central European Journal of Regional Development and Tourism 2020, 12(3):82-107 | DOI: 10.32725/det.2020.023  

The main objective of this study is to present the overarching history of a second-tier city (Miskolc, Hungary) in Central and Eastern Europe from its foundation to the current era and beyond, to the plans for the next EU programming period between 2021 -2027. The city has been in the crossroads of industries, cultures, borders, innovations and EU programming periods throughout its history. Our basic hypothesis was that with the overarching but systematically structured analysis and presentation of the history of the city, we can define its main development stages and gain deeper insights in the roots of the present and future tendencies. Thus, we...

The Role of Territorial Capital in Urban Renewal in a Non-Core Central European City

Ildikó Egyed, Szilárd Rácz

DETUROPE - The Central European Journal of Regional Development and Tourism 2020, 12(3):108-132 | DOI: 10.32725/det.2020.024  

The concept of territorial capital, presented by the authors as an alternative to exogenous, FDI-driven economic restructuring strategies, has fertilised regional development policy thinking in multiple ways. Triggering reflections on the bottom-up reconceptualisation of regional policy, it has a particular salience in peripheral or lagging regions due to its potential to reverse deeply-entrenched core-periphery relations. The paper discusses the concept of territorial capital with a view to its policy embeddedness and academic valorisation. The structure of the paper is as follows. The first section presents the theoretical antecedents and conceptual...

Accessibility of Major Central and Eastern European Cities in Danube Cruise Tourism

Márk Miskolczi, Melinda Jászberényi, András Munkácsy, Dávid Nagy

DETUROPE - The Central European Journal of Regional Development and Tourism 2020, 12(3):133-150 | DOI: 10.32725/det.2020.025  

This article aims to provide an insight into the largely under-researched issue of river cruise tourism on the Danube through an explorative analysis. The focus is on attraction accessibility in the context of the three major cities of pan-European Corridor VII. (Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade), based on the adaptation of the accessibility model by Geurs & van Wee (2004). Expert and stakeholder interviews have been carried out and analyzed to understand the general problems and suggested solutions of port and attraction accessibility of these cities. Results indicate that accessibility is influenced not only by transport components: rethinking temporal...

Examination of the Motivation for Further Education among Hungarian High School Students in Vojvodina

Boglárka Kincses, Sándor Papp

DETUROPE - The Central European Journal of Regional Development and Tourism 2020, 12(3):151-168 | DOI: 10.32725/det.2020.026  

The study focuses on the higher education choices of Hungarian-speaking students studying at Serbian high schools in Vojvodina. Due to the disorganized nature of Hungarian-language higher education in Serbia, Hungarian students have little opportunity to study in their mother tongue at state universities and colleges. A questionnaire was distributed among 442 students at 11 high schools in Vojvodina to find out about their intention to study after high school, their reasons for and against higher education in Serbia, and the reasons influencing their choice of higher education institution. The results were analyzed with frequency tables and word clouds....
