Az információs-kommunikációs technikák terjedésének regionális különbségei Magyarországon
Environmental Changes in Kecskemét Between 2009-2018
Kecskemét is the city most exposed to climate change, facing a number of environmental challenges in the Danube-Tisza Interfluve. The most important changes are the deterioration of air quality, the impact of urban heat islands, the problems of green infrastructure and the issue of water management. In this paper, we briefly present the evolution of environmental factors over the past decade, from 2009 to 2018. Attention is drawn to the increase in traffic load, the deterioration of air quality and the resulting problems. We analyze the evolution, quantity and quality characteristics of the citys green spaces, which are very closely related to water management and underline the need for urban rainwater management
Az informáciĂłs technikák fejlĹ‘dĂ©sĂ©nek Ă©s az informáciĂłs társadalom kialakulásának terĂĽleti hatásai (kĂĽlönös tekintettel egy relatĂve elmaradott rĂ©giĂłra, az Alföldre) = Regional factors of the evolution and development of the information technologies and society (with special regard to a relatively underdeveloped region - Hungarian Great Plain)
A kutatás folyamán sikerĂĽlt kialakĂtanunk egy olyan mĂłdszertani apparátust, amely alkalmas az informáciĂłs társadalom (IT) jelensĂ©geinek elemzĹ‘ Ă©rtĂ©kelĂ©sĂ©re. Ezek az Ăşj mĂłdszerek beĂ©pĂĽltek nemcsak a hazai terĂĽleti kutatásokba, de nĂ©hány megközelĂtĂ©sĂĽk nemzetközi konferenciákon is publicitást kapott. A munka során elemeztĂĽk a magyarországi IKT infrastruktĂşra Ă©s ellátottság jellemzĹ‘inek tĂ©r-idĹ‘ változásait. Vizsgáltuk az IKT eszközök terĂĽleti megjelenĂ©sĂ©nek, terjedĂ©sĂ©nek, Ă©s használatának jellemzĹ‘it. SikerĂĽlt megmĂ©rni a tĂ©rsĂ©geink IT felkĂ©szĂĽltsĂ©gĂ©nek szintjĂ©t, s kĂ©pet adtunk az IKT szektor ágazati Ă©s terĂĽleti megjelenĂ©sĂ©rĹ‘l. Az ágazat hazai fejlĹ‘dĂ©se (az Alföldön is) az innováciĂłs központokbĂłl kiindulva, tĂ©rben koncentrikusan, Ă©s a csomĂłpontok közötti kommunikáciĂłs csatornák mentĂ©n terjedt. Az IKT Ă©s az IT kiĂ©pĂĽlĂ©se, fejlĹ‘dĂ©se tudatos regionális politika mellett nagytĂ©rsĂ©gi szinten hozzájárulhat a terĂĽleti kĂĽlönbsĂ©gek mĂ©rsĂ©klĂ©sĂ©hez. AlsĂłbb szinteken azonban az "általános" fejlettsĂ©gbeli szĂnvonal kĂĽlönbsĂ©gek mĂ©rsĂ©klĂ©sĂ©ben játszott szerepe mĂ©g alig mutathatĂł ki. Az Alföld relatĂve elmaradott helyzetĂ©bĹ‘l reális kitörĂ©si lehetĹ‘sĂ©g, s a további fejlĹ‘dĂ©snek jĂł alapja lehet e szektor erĹ‘sĂtĂ©se, kiĂ©pĂtĂ©se, valamint e technikák szĂ©leskörű használata. Az IT programok sikeressĂ©gĂ©nek kritĂ©riuma lesz azok társadalmi elfogadottsága Ă©s a helyi szereplĹ‘k aktivitása, akik kĂ©pesek a lokális jellemzĹ‘ket, tartalmakat "hozzáilleszteni" az IT globális folyamataihoz Ă©s Internet tartalmaihoz | In the course of our research, a methodological system has been built up, that is suitable for the analysing evaluation of the phenomena of the information society. The new methods became parts of the national spatial researches, and moreover, some aspects of them were also presented at international conferences. We analysed the spatial and temporal evolution of ICTs in Hungary. We examined the parameters of the spatial appearance, dispersion and use of ICTs. The awareness level of IS at various regions was evaluated, and the sectoral and territorial appearance of ICTs was presented. Both the national and regional (e. g. that of the Great Plain) ICT sector is diffusing from the innovation centres in a simultaneous way, along the communication channels. The development of ICTs and IS can contribute to the abatement of regional diversities, but only in case of a conscious regional policy. However, at lower territorial levels, their role in the abatement of diversities can scarcely be demonstrated. Establishment and extension of ICT sector and the use of these technologies in a wide range can be a good ground for a future development, and additionally it promises a genuine breakout from the relatively backward conditions of the Great Plain. An important criterion of the usefulness of IS projects will be their public acceptance - whether some local actors can fit their local conditions to the tendencies and online contents of global IS
Development and regional characteristics of the Hungarian information and communication sector (ICT)
The rapid development of IC technologies and in parallel the increasing demand for more information and knowledge from the actors of economy, institutions and members of society created the ICT-sector into the core of “new economy” and information society. This process got an important role in the major research topics in economic and social geography, thanks to the high innovation capacity of the sector, the new forms of organizing economic activities and the discussed spatial and social effects of the development. The rising ICT sector and new elements of information society implied a special interest not only from basic research, but even applied research areas, for example the emerging role of ICTs in regional development and regional policies and some sectoral policies (economy, education, health etc.). This process had a special role in the former COMECON area. The info-intensive activities had a crucial role in building up a new, market-led model of economy in the transition period. The new forms of communication offer to re-organize the personal connections, the local societies and created new “spaces and places” for new communities. The double modernisation effect of ICTs in converging countries in the period of transition (1989/1990 – 2004) had a serious impact on spatial processes. In our paper we concentrate on the role of ICTs in transforming Hungarian economy, increasing the competitiveness of the country. We try to describe the spatial structure of the sector and its part in forming the new regional structure of the country.Le développement rapide des TIC a engendré la création d’une « nouvelle économie » étudiée de plus en plus en géographie, en interrogeant notamment la forte capacité d’innovation du secteur, les nouvelles formes organisationnelles et ses effets socio-spatiaux. Au niveau régional, les questions sont vivaces lorsqu’on s’intéresse à la dimension politique. Les effets des TIC dans les pays en convergence durant la période de transition (1989/1990 – 2004) ont été nombreux sur le développement régional en Hongrie. En particulier, ils ont largement contribué à transformer l’économie hongroise, avec un impact important sur l’accroissement de la compétitivité du pays
Impacts and consequences of residential segregation of Roma in urban spaces: Case studies from Hungary
This article explores residential segregation and its characteristics in medium-sized and small towns in the Southern Great Plain statistical region of Hungary. The study highlights the main features and driving forces of segregation connected to post-communist urban development. We are approaching this from the perspective of the following questions: How are segregation processes connected to ethnic issues and living conditions? What can the local government do to solve this problem? The article concludes that residential segregation is a frequent phenomenon in Hungarian agro-towns. These processes share some similarities but also differ to some degree from western European or US examples. The results emphasise the importance of complex thinking about social integration, local planning and more effective financial allocation
Vplivi in posledice prostorske segregacije Romov na mestnih območjih - madžarske študije primera
Avtorji v članku proučujejo prostorsko segregacijo in njene značilnosti v srednje velikih in majhnih mestih v madžarski statistični regiji Južna velika nižina, pri čemer predstavijo glavne značilnosti in gonilne sile segregacije, ki so povezane s postkomunističnim razvojem mest. Sprašujejo se predvsem o tem, kako so segregacijski procesi povezani z etničnimi vprašanji in bivalnimi razmerami ter kaj lahko za rešitev tega problema stori lokalna oblast. Končna ugotovitev je, da je prostorska segregacija v madžarskih kmetijskih mestih pogost pojav. V nekaterih pogledih so tovrstni procesi podobni tistim v Zahodni Evropi in ZDA, vendar se od njih tudi razlikujejo. Izsledki raziskave opozarjajo na pomembnost kompleksnega razmišljanja o družbenem vključevanju, lokalnem načrtovanju in učinkovitejši dodelitvi finančnih sredstev
