It has been used for several geographic and regional science studies because of its highly valued information con- text. From geoscientific point of view this information can also be evaluated. In this contribution an attempt is made to analyse in some extent the paleo-hydrogeography presented in the map, reconsidering the approach of previous authors, assuming that the mapmaker did not make large, intolerable errors and the known problems of the cartographic implementation are rather exceptional. According to the map the major lakes had larger extents in the 16th century than today, even a large lake (Lake Becskerek) ceased to exist. -

Beyond the Wall
Beyond the Wall Monuments and Voices from Behind the Former Iron Curtain Berlin, Prague, Budapest Essential Questions 1. How does a nation construct its identity and commemorate its history through public art, memorials, or monuments? 2. How was this memory constructed in each of the three cities, comparatively? If there is a difference (particularly related to post-1945 history), how do we see this depicted in monuments? What aspect(s) of each place’s history might explain such a difference? 3. How does the written history of each country compare with the national history as depicted in public art and monuments? With the stories of local residents? Educational Outcomes 1. Students will produce produce a final project based on their experiences and conversations with local residents (to be completed partly on trip and partly in the post-trip on-campus day). 2. Students will be able to discuss how each city/nation has shaped its national memory through public monuments and memorials. 3.

Young Farmers' Perceptions of Sustainability in a Wine Region in Hungary
land Article Young Farmers’ Perceptions of Sustainability in a Wine Region in Hungary Adrienne Csizmady * , Bernadett Csurgó , Szabina Kerényi, András Balázs, Veronika Kocsis and Botond Palaczki Institute of Sociology, Centre for Social Sciences, Hungarian Academy of Sciences Centre of Excellence, Eötvös Loránd Research Network, 1097 Budapest, Hungary; [email protected] (B.C.); [email protected] (S.K.); [email protected] (A.B.); [email protected] (V.K.); [email protected] (B.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Emerging evidence has shown that a sustainable mode of farming contributes to the sustainability of societies. However, agricultural modernization and land concentration have resulted in a decreasing role of agriculture in rural societies everywhere in Europe and also in Hungary. Governmental funds and agendas increasingly focus on the regeneration of rural areas with a special interest in the new generations of farmers. This paper analyses a small wine region in Hungary to explore the perceptions and activities of young farmers regarding sustainability. The paper is based on qualitative sociological research, including 20 semi-structured interviews with wine producers and other key actors of rural development in the region. The analysis focuses on generational change both in wine producer farms and in the wine region. How do farmers approach sustainability, and how does the concept of sustainability contribute to family wine production? How can generational Citation: Csizmady, A.; Csurgó, B.; change affect farming approaches and activities, especially changes toward a more sustainable way Kerényi, S.; Balázs, A.; Kocsis, V.; of farming? Our results show that rural regeneration can be understood not only as a generational Palaczki, B. -

Having studied in England, he returned to Hungary in 1884. By 1886, he had developed a plan, titled “Budapest Stream Tramway Network”, laying down the groundwork for an advanced track-based transport system.
