The development of industrial parks began in the 1960s with the transformation of previous production systems and the technological change. Initially, the first industrial areas were developed spontaneously when positive externalities rose from the close spatial proximity of companies. Therefore, the producing plants started to build common infrastructure and a variety of special facilities within the industrial areas which resulted in the concentration of production and creating the first industrial parks. The industrial spatial structure has changed and taking the positive benefits of proximity in mind, the creation of industrial parks has become...

The authors of this study examined the destination image of Lake Balaton which region is one of the top tourist destinations in Hungary. The empirical research was designed to obtain answers to two questions: whether the image of the region well recognizable and the much-discussed "Balaton-brand" could be formed? Research results indicate the different views about the region's image of the various stakeholders, the lack of effective communication between tourism operators and those professionals are not sufficiently aware of tourists' views.The touristic region of Balaton has had an important role in the tourism of Hungary and the tourism supply...

In this study I examine the main factors of migration, in particular to globalization, as well as the unemployment. This factor affects the migration processes. The main effect of globalization on labor market is manifested most in demand for labor flexibility and growth rather than an overall reduction in demand site. The factors of production in the global economy will be higher mobility than before, so the workforce as an economic factor in the globalization movement across national boundaries thereof. The processes associated with adverse global decline in the working age population (whose evolution I demonstrate this with calculating the Hoover...

We carried out this research focussing on the importance and local role of entrepreneurs in order to find out how "Balaton identity" can be developed and enhanced and which factors influence its existence. We are also interested in the way the political marketing for regionalisation can help the local inhabitants achieve higher living standards and form a bond with the region through small enterprises. The stronger and finer the bond is, the more active the local communities in the examined region are and they perform better in environmental, economic and social tasks. The potentials in "Balaton identity" may play an important role in future regional...

A variety of motivations are needed to make people move house but, an even more profound determination is necessary to leave one's home country. It is not simple to replant an old walnut tree but, sometimes, owing to the fertile soil and the new, favourable environment, replanting can bring richer harvest. True, in the 21st century the continuously changing and, at times, revolting Europe is opening up for new migrants. Yet, a modern-age adventure-seeking Ulysses has to face many challenges; the Great Unknown might hide good and bad as well, meaning, that the migrants' knowledge and experience is often not enough: they often need much luck to succeed,...

The Recognition of Our National Parks Among Young Adults

DETUROPE - The Central European Journal of Regional Development and Tourism 2015, 7(3):83-100 | DOI: 10.32725/det.2015.035  

I conducted a survey questionnaire about the recognition of national parks among the students of the University of Pannonia, Georgikon Faculty in 2012 and 2013. According to my previous experience as a lecturer, I supposed that young people had incomplete knowledge about national parks. As the result of my previous survey about the Danube-Drava National Park Directorate, which is my narrower research area, I had the idea to test the knowledge of young people in a more general questionnaire in the hope of getting a more favourable picture. In order to prove my hypothesis I conducted a survey questionnaire among the students of the Georgikon Faculty...
