This paper discusses the issue of the Cˇ ív landscape changes in the context of its use (historical land use). Between 1701 and 1709, new inhabitants began cultivating the desolated landscape of the Dorog Basin, which is surrounded by the Pilis Mountains. This paper aims to characterize the Slovak exclave Cˇ ív land use with an emphasis on the period from the beginning of the 18th century (Slovak colonization of the analyzed territory) to 2019. These findings subsequently lead to the evaluation of the stability of the cultural-historical landscape as an essential condition for the development of ecotourism in the cultural landscape.

  • LOCAL PLANS to PRIORITIZE INTERVENTIONS Version 1 DT1.4.2 08/2018
    LOCAL PLANS TO PRIORITIZE INTERVENTIONS Version 1 DT1.4.2 08/2018 Tatabánya Industrial Park Introduction The aim of the present document is to finalize the data collections and analysis built in DT1.3.2 (Report of the quantity of industrial waste in the CIRCE2020 industrial areas), DT1.3.3 (Report of the present destinations of industrial waste) and DT1.3.4 (M-scale analysis of the physical flows at local indistrial system level). In a short way, this document summarizes the process that leads to pilot cases identification, from the recognition of waste production & destination to the physical flows maps. The present process to prioritize the interventions is also supported by a permanent consultation with the local stakeholders (administrations located in the pilot regions, trade and industrial associations, environmental authoritities etc.) to come to a shared hierachy of waste flows to optimize and/or to close (in DT1.1.3 and DT1.4.1). Waste flows analysis Pilot area description Tatabánya Industrial Park (http://www.iph.hu/industrialpark.html) is located in Tatabánya, which is a City of Country Rank with approximately 66 000 inhabitants and the capital of Komárom-Esztergom County. The long term vision of the city is to become a dynamically developing center of the region by 2030. There are currently almost 1000 manufacturing companies operating in the city, which is at the top of the microregional level, but it is the highest value at county level as well. Tatabánya Industrial Park is charactarized by the diverse variety of companies which are operating in the area.

Kiss professor emeritus Adrienn Marschal Labor camps in Komárom-Esztergom County Csolnok, Oroszlány, Tatabánya Theses 2016. Adrienn Marschal – Labor camps in Komárom-Esztergom County Theses I. Research assignment, topic choosing I have chosen the history of the Hungarian labor camps between 1952 and 1956 as the topic of my thesis work, because the Hungarian labor camps are not well known after 1953, yet most of the people think these camps were closed in 1953. I have focused on the history of the three camps existed in Komárom- Esztergom county: Csolnok, Oroszlány and Tatabánya. This choice was reasoned not only by their geographic location, but by their intertwined history as well: all the three camps served mining and they often exchanged prisoners whose fate strongly connected in the events of the 1956 revolution, especially in the actions of the so-called miner brigade. Among the four types of camps established in Hungary, books were published primarily about the internment camps, Recsk and Tiszalök: firstly reminiscences and later scientific works as well. Namely, the history of Recsk appears in the reminiscences of Sándor Erdey, Zoltán Sztáray, Zoltán Nyeste, György Faludy, and summarized in the works of Géza Böszörményi and Barbara Bank. Whereas, the camp in Tiszalök was explored by Miklós Görbedi. Several books investigated the other two types of the camps, the displaced persons camp, and the prisoner-of-war camp, written by Zsuzsa Hantó, Kinga Széhenyi, József Saád, Zalán Bognár and others, including reminiscences and a book of interviews as well.

  • Industry Establishing Effects of Mineral Raw Materials in the Dorog Micro-Region
    Acta Universitatis Sapientiae Agriculture and Environment, 1 (2009) 130-134 Industry establishing effects of mineral raw materials in the Dorog micro-region Zsófia VÖRÖSK I1 1Department of Geography, Faculty of Human Geography, University of Miskolc, Miskolc, Hungary, [email protected] Manuscript received 09.30. 2009; revised 10. 25. 2009; accepted 10. 30. 2009 Abstract: The Dorog micro-region extends on the countries eastern border and includes 15 settlements. The region has a favorable position, it’s local and positional energies are significant. The potential energy is given by the fact, that the River Danube are Budapest are close, while it’s local energy was given by the coal for quite a long time. Nowadays it has not got such significance, but it had an important role in forming the industrial structure of our days. Lignite mining was the reason of changes in what the region went through. The population did not work anymore only in the agricultural areas, they started to work in the mines too. Two settlements passed through serious changes. Dorog became a town as the industry’s graceful effect, and Tokod became a parish. The coal mining attracted several attaching industries, such as chemical industry and other tightly attaching industries. Not only coal, but sand and limestone brought changes to the settlement’s life, and their effect is still appreciable. I am about to present this change in my essay. Keywords: mining, coal, industrial geography 1. Introduction In the Dorog micro-region mining had some kind of bond with 10 settlements. As an extractive industry, it allured processing industry to the area.

    ABSTRACT GLOBALIZATION: The Structural Changes of the Hungarian Sport life after the Communist Regime BY Győző Molnár The purpose of this work is to gain an understanding of the process of globalization and to address the possible consequences of globalization in Hungary and how the Hungarian society is reacting to these changes. Another purpose of the present work is to interpret the influence of globalization on post-communist Hungary concerning the changes in its sport life. This paper provides general information about the most discussed ideas regarding globalization. For a better understanding of the recent political, economic and cultural situation of Hungary, the history of the country’s last century is outlined. In addition, certain aspects of Hungary’s sport life is introduced regarding the political eras, economic circumstances, and societal structures in the transition period between the communist and the post-communist periods, and Hungary’s accommodation to the process of Europeanization.

  • MINORITIES RESEARCH 8 Minority Politics and Minorities Rights Gydrgyi Bindorffer Assimilation Processes in Csolnok
    MINORITIES RESEARCH 8 Minority Politics and Minorities Rights Gydrgyi Bindorffer Assimilation processes in Csolnok 1. Introduction Csolnok lies in County Komarom- Esztergom in the coal-basin of Dorog; it is 5 km away from the town of Dorog, 13 km from Esztergom, in the valley of the stream Janza, surrounded by hills.1 Built on the hillsides its system of streets developed accordingly. It is characteristic of a village built in a valley: the streets are running along the boat-shaped valley after branching off at a y- form, they run parallel to the main street and the stream of Janza cutting along the valley. Owing to its geological situation it has been suitable for wine grow­ ing, but lacking in flat areas agriculture could offer livelihood oniy to a few. Livelihood meant working in the mines from the beginning of the 19lh c. till 1979. The shafts, however, were inundated by karstwater and had to be dosed in the early 1970s.There are still coal reserves left unexploited.Tunnels of the former mines connect Csolnok and Dorog. Since transport over ground was difficult, during the working period of the mines coal was transported underground to the train-station in Dorog and frequently the inhabitants also used these means to get to the town. Since there are hardly any work places in the village nowadays most of the people commute to the towns nearby. Csolnok is a German village, or Swabian as the inhabitants prefer to be called; as there were no deportations in the area the saying has it: ‘who is from Csolnok is a Swabian.’ The census data of the last 20 years confirm the statement only partially.2 P N M MH c 14 396 1980 3.668 0.4% 11% 605 794 1990 3,350 16% 14% 1,041 671 858 1290 2001 3,406 31% 20% 25% 38% 1 Getehegy, Magoshegy (Hochberg), Kalvariahegy (Kalvarienberg), Leggett hegy (Ab- gebrannler Berg), Kecskehegy (Kasperk).
