Microearthquake study of the broader Thessaloniki area (Northern Greece)
A temporary network of twelve portable digital seismological stations was operated around the city of Thessaloniki
(Northern Greece) for a period of 19 months (from July 2001 to April 2002 and from October 2002 to August
2003), providing data that enabled the study of the interconnection between microseismicity and active tectonics
in the area. During the operation period 277 microearthquakes that were recorded in more than four stations
were accurately located and 64 fault plane solutions were determined. Seismic activity is associated with
ENE-WSW, E-W and ESE-WNW striking normal faults and is nearly confined to the first 15 km, thus defining
the seismogenic layer in the study area. The mean orientation of the axis of maximum extension (T-axis) is NS
to NNE-SSW, determined from fault plane solutions, in agreement with the regional extensional stress pattern,
which strikes perpendicular to the orientation of the main WNW-ESE active faults of the area

New trajectories of the Hungarian regional development: balanced and rush growth of territorial capital
The basic assumption of the paper is that numerous similarities exist between the patterns
of economic growth and territorial capital growth. The rush economic growth and rush
growth of territorial capital are compared empirically at Hungarian micro-regional level
from 2004 until 2010. After normalizing the dataset, a very novel spatial econometric
method is applied, called a penalty for bottleneck. The results show that the constant rush
growth of territorial capital is as harmful as economic recession. On the other hand, the
decrease of infrastructural and social capital caused the rush growth of territorial capital in
this period. Moreover, the key findings of two case studies suggest that the balanced growth
of territorial capital will be created by the falling social inequalities and increasing
infrastructural capita
