Miskolc Kommunikacios Kiadvany 2014.10.21 EN.Indd OUR COMMON FUTURE INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE CULTURE 2 OUR COMMON FUTURE: MISKOLC Miskolc? No question Miskolc invites and awaits everybody who imagines his future together with us and who choose this developing city lying in a Northern Hungarian environment as their living space. In this booklet we present our city, with providing a colourful selection of facts only. Let the most important facts speak about our city instead of us: The most convincing among them are: • Available qualified workforce at competitive costs; relatively high population: about 300.000 inhabitants, including the agglomeration • Thanks to the high level dual vocational training system, continuous supply of able and well trained employees is ensured • 3.000 students of engineering at the University of Miskolc: a unique venue in Hungary • Very low employee fluctuation rate <2% Compared to others: Budapest >10%; West Hungary >7% • Excellent infrastructure: motorway, public transportation, energy supply, information communication network • Optimal location for reaching Western and Eastern European markets • Well established database about suppliers having excellent understanding of metals • Availability of highest support intensity is higher than in other regions! • Rich industrial past and technical culture • Beauty of the natural environment • A city offering colourful and diverse cultural, sport and recreational possibilities • Professional and effective investment promoting support ensured by Miskolc Holding And for what more? It was not us but the Financial Times that has recently declared the economic region of Miskolc to be highly attractive in terms of direct foreign investments. Launched among European cities, Miskolc reached the 16th place, out of almost a thousand of applicants and ahead of several major cities of Europe, on the competition searching future investment locations. In 2012, the city of Miskolc received the Investor Friendly Location certificate, title and logo within the Investor Friendly Location Programme launched by the Hungarian Investment and Trade Agency (HITA). The Hungarian Government declared it a Priority Development Centre in 2013. INDUSTRY I KNOWLEDGE I CULTURE 3 Building Miskolc together 92 billion HUF arrived to Miskolc between 2010 and 2014. Developments creating jobs and targeting the community show the renewal of the city. These foresee a competitive and developing city worth investing in, as the investment will return. Results of our efforts to create jobs and our support for promoting invest- ments are tangible. The economy that once had a strong main focus on heavy industry has become diverse and new technologies have been established thanks to the companies operating in the city such as BOSCH, Vodafone, Shinwa or the Gustav Wolf wire factory, providing jobs for many thousands of people. The Mechatronics Industrial Park is full, hence we have created a new one next to the M30 motorway. The first company to settle down in the Southern Industrial Park was the Takata Company Group, which has estab- lished automotive industrial technolo- gy and effected the largest greenfield investment of Hungary of the last 3 years! Launching of new technologies and new industrial plants required the establish- ment of an educational culture with a different approach, which was adopted by both the vocational training system and the University of Miskolc. Thanks to the cooperation established with the companies, supply of professionals and the de- velopment background for large companies are ensured. The city is therefore able to offer quality services from the nursery up to the university. With the environmentally conscious developments improving the quality of life of citizens, Miskolc may identify itself as a “green city”. We were the first Hungarian city to have signed the cooperation agreement with the international Green City 4 OUR COMMON FUTURE: MISKOLC movement in order to enable the environmentally friendly realisation of investments and developments. The Miskolc Geothermal Project is the most significant among the envi- ronmental investments, even on a Central Eastern European level, realisation of which enabled Miskolc to catch up with the most environmentally conscious Hungarian cities. District heating that has been extended with geothermal energy brought to surface in the border of the city provides envi- ronmentally friendly thermal energy for about 20.000 apart- ments, public institutes and industrial facilities. Tourism, festivals – the Opera Festival, the Beer Festival, Cinefest International Film Festival, Aspic Carnival – have made cultural and gastronomic tourism leading sectors of Miskolc. We invested billions into the development of tourism during recent years. The most significant investment was the complex cultural and ecotourism development of Diósgyőr and Lillafüred, the budget of which was 2.71 billion HUF. The Lillafüred Hanging Gardens was renewed and the Castle of Diósgyőr got back its old glory within the framework of the project consisting of several items. The lido being renewed next to the Cave Bath of Miskolctapolca is going to be the first bath in Hungary that is built according to the Green City principles and that actually exists together with and forms a part of the environment. The future development opportunities of Miskolc are clear: the government has declared the city and its vicinity a Priority Development Area, enabling further economic progress, creation of even more jobs, thoughtful and long Dr. Kriza Ákos term development of the city. The urban development Mayor of Miskolc CCR strategy created by consultations and joint thinking and the development programmes in it make the city more attractive for investors. Miskolc is ready to receive them in order to support each other towards success through investments aiming at mutual advantages. INDUSTRY I KNOWLEDGE I CULTURE 5 6 OUR COMMON FUTURE: MISKOLC In the heart of Europe • It lies in the attraction zone of three countries, all reachable within 1.5 hours (at a distance of 150 km) • It is a part of the European motorway network thanks to the M3 motorway • InterCity trains depart every hour to inland and abroad destinations • Excellent logistics connections on rail and motorway Airports • Miskolc – sport airfield (within 1 km) • Košice (SK) (84 km, international flights) • Debrecen (119 km, international flights) • Budapest (200 km, international flights) Miskolc has excellent logistics connections thanks to the M30 motorway and its railway connections. A logistics centre with direct railway connection and significant storage capacity (ÁTI DEPO, LOGICON) is located near to the proposed development areas. Local and international transportation firms and customs warehouses are available for companies. INDUSTRY Miskolc our common future The present image of the city does not share any similarities with its previous one. A new and modern technology industry is emerging on the base of the traditional industrial culture of the city. Toolstyle, having recently realised a 600 million HUF investment and building its future on the basis of the rich work culture of Digép, is a good example for this. It cannot be denied that the 1990s had brought the decline of heavy industry in Miskolc. The popula- tion started to decrease, but Miskolc did not accept this and, though the region was one of those which lost a lot in the political changes of the early 1990s, has become a success story in the recent years. INDUSTRY I KNOWLEDGE I CULTURE 7 Between 2010 and 2014, beyond the results of the public works programme, more than 3.000 new jobs were created in Miskolc, most of them in the manufac- turing and service sectors. Also the Hungarian Government recognised the efforts of Miskolc to create jobs: this made Miskolc a Priority Development Area in 2013 and it joined the club of cities like Győr or Kecskemét. Investors also discovered this opportunity offering the rich industrial heritage of this city, the work culture of its people and one of the most modern university education for the industrial sector and mainly its overall leading branch, the auto- motive industry. Industrial parks: Full comfort for investors Presently, Miskolc has two industrial parks operated and developed by municipal companies. The area of the Mechatronics Industrial Park has reached 224 hectares. The Miskolc South Industrial Park is located on 93.5 hectares in the south border of Miskolc, next to the access road to the M30 motorway. Beyond their strategic location and modern infrastructure, the two industrial parks offer companies such a complex and customised business services that provide a firm background for their steady operation and realisation of their ideas. 8 OUR COMMON FUTURE: MISKOLC Takata Corporation established its Hungarian subsidiary in October 2013. Takata Safety Systems Hungary Ltd. started the production of airbag systems in October 2014, in its new factory located in the Miskolc South Industrial Park. The company group invested 68.3 million EUR into the new factory and about 60.000 sqm of industrial halls were constructed on its 25 hectares. Takata: investment record within a time record Miskolc became ever attractive for investors during the past 4 years: the Japanese Takata company constructed its airbag manufacturing plant through the largest greenfield investment of Hungary, with plans to provide jobs for 1.000 people. Takata Corporation is a worldwide leading supplier in the field of automotive security systems (products include steering wheels, airbags, seatbelts,

In the same manner, the phenomenon of a “missing link” may be considered as a situation in which the quality of service has extremely low values due to the fact that no direct link exists between two points. As described in the above-mentioned document, as a simplified method, for individual road categories, one may take the following capacities in terms of number of vehicles as the average daily traffic: − 4-lane motorway: 40,000 – 60,000 PCU/24 hrs − roads of 2 lanes: 8,000 – 12,000 PCU/24 hrs As in the case of roads, there are a great number of factors determining the bottlenecks on a railway line. It is practically impossible to concentrate all elements in a single bottleneck measure. In order to reach practical measures it appeared appropriate to take the following capacity limits: TRANS/WP.5/2005/16/Add.8 page 2 − Single track main lines: 1 x 60 – 80 trains/day − Double track main lines: 2 x 100 – 200 trains/day According to that definition, the bottlenecks regarding the Hungarian TEN road network are described below.

  • Are Motorways Good for the Hungarian Economy?
    Are motorways good for the Hungarian economy? by András Lukács Clean Air Action Group, Hungary www.levego.hu Budapest, 2003 Are motorways good for the Hungarian economy? by András Lukács (Clean Air Action Group) „...what does the EU give to Hungary, and what do we spend the money on? I agree with those who say that at most 30 per cent of the received funds should be spent on boosting the economy, and 70 per cent should be invested into the Hungarian society itself. The newly admitted countries invested a substantial part of the money from the Structural and Cohesion Funds into their infrastructure, the only exception being Ireland. They spent 80 per cent of the EU support on education, on building a knowledge-based society. Look at them now, how far the Irish have reached!” István Fodor, President of Ericsson Hungary, and Chairman of the Hungarian EU Enlargement Business Council („Üzleti 7”, 16th December 2002) Hungarian Governments of the recent years, one after the other, tried to outdo their predecessors by planning to build even more motorways. On this issue there is a consensus among all the political parties of the Hungarian Parliament. At the same time more and more people question the rationality of these investments, but such opinions hardly gain any publicity. Will motorways improve accessibility? One of the main reasons usually brought forward to support the construction of motorways is that they will improve accessibility to the region concerned. Of course, if we only compare the time that cars, buses or trucks spend on the motorway with the time of travelling on parallel roads, this statement holds true in general.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this paper we want to provide a brief introduction to our current research on the Early to Middle Bronze Age (Hatvan to Füzesabony period) settlement sites in the Borsod plain of North-eastern Hungary. Our work is based on intensive archaeological surface survey, aerial photography, topographical measurements and magnetometer survey that provide important data both on the intra and off-site level. With the results obtained so far, it is possible to provide a much more nuanced picture of both the internal structure of the tell and tell-like Bronze Age sites of our study area and their development through time than was hitherto possible. As an example of the ongoing research we will discuss some results of our work at the site of Tiszabábolna-Fehérlótanya including the surface finds, magnetometry and archaeozoological results. Auszug Nach einem kurzen Überblick über die methodischen Grundlagen des BORBAS Projektes (Borsod Region Bronze Age Settlements) wird in diesem Beitrag der Kenntnisstand zur früh- und mittelbronzezeitlichen Besiedlung (Hatvan- und Füzesabony-Periode) der Borsod-Ebene in Nordostungarn dargestellt. Neue Forschungsergebnisse im Rahmen des BORBAS Projektes erlauben es, ein differenzierteres Bild des Aufbaus der einzelnen Siedlungen und ihrer Entwicklung im Laufe der Zeit zu entwerfen als dies bislang möglich war.

It was supported by the dynamic increase of foreign trade of the NMS, which increased more than the EU average. Thus, the share of this region in foreign trade also grew. The value of the goods exported from the Central and Eastern Euro- pean countries increased and in line with that tendency, the role of logistics services augmented. The transportation and logistics market has grown by double-digit figure for several years which reflects well the dynamism of this market. In line with the increasing oil prices the costs of transporters also grew. The increase of oil prices seems to be a permanent process with which the actors of the sector have to reckon. In the first half of 2005 the transportation sector in Hungary reached a significant growth mainly due to the outstanding performance of the international transportation (approximately +25%). The annual growth of the sector was more than 18% which is significantly higher than the average of the previous years (2.5-4.5%).

  • (Ne Hungary). Preliminary Results of the Investigations
    FOLIA QUATERNARIA 84, KRAKÓW 2016, 99–122 DOI: 10.4467/21995923FQ.16.004.5995 PL ISSN 0015-573X POLGÁR-BOSNYÁKDOMB, A LATE NEOLITHIC TELL- LIKE SETTLEMENT ON POLGÁR ISLAND (NE HUNGARY). PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATIONS Pál Raczky, Alexandra Anders A u t h o r s’ a d d r e s s e s: Eötvös Loránd University, Institute of Archaeological Sciences, 4/B Múzeum körút, 1088 Budapest, Hungary, e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. In this study, we summarise the preliminary results of thirty years of investigations at the Polgár-Bosnyákdomb site. The significance of the site located on the one-time bank of the Tisza River is that it lies no more than 5 km away from the well-known Polgár-Csőszhalom settlement com- plex. One of our goals was to investigate the relation between the settlements in the Polgár Island micro-region and to identify the similarities and differences between them. It is quite obvious that with its estimated 70 hectares large extent, Polgár-Csőszhalom was a dominant settlement complex in this landscape during the earlier fifth millennium, while the Bosnyákdomb settlement, represented an entirely different scale with its 8 hectares and had a different role during this period. The AMS dates provide convincing evidence that the two settlements had been occupied simultaneously during one period of their lives. Despite their spatial proximity and chronological contemporaneity, the two settlements had a differing structural layout. Although both had a prominent stratified settlement mound that was separated from the single-layer settlement part by a ditch, the system of the ditches, their structure and, presumably, their social use differed substantially.

    GÉZA NOVÁK – TAMÁS VARSÁNYI The transport situation in the Great Plain Introduction Today transport plays a crucial role in our socio-economic life. In the two regions which comprise the Great Plain transport as a sector constitutes a significant share of overall GDP (5%). Transport affects the competitiveness of regions and therefore the quality of life. Good transport stimulates company activities, attracts direct investment, improves purchasing and distribution, and enables the realisation of extra income through international trade. Good transportation infrastructure supports the development of rural areas and promotes the convergence of regions. As a result of travelling between settlements or commuting, public transport fosters the mobility of the workforce. The quality of public transport affects employment and schooling in different geographical areas, and access to services which are limited in a given area. This study analyses the transport situation in the Northern Great Plain and Southern Great Plain regions. (The two regions are referred to hereafter as the Great Plain.) The paper presents the structure and quality of the road system, and the accessibility by road of Hungarian settlements. Furthermore, we highlight the features of rail, air and waterway transport. Road transport The role of road transport is salient both in passenger and freight traffic. In Hungary road transport accounts for two thirds of total freight transport and 46% of interurban passenger traffic, and it is the main form of local transport as well. The structure and density of the road network Hungary’s road network has a radial structure with Budapest as its centre, and this structure affects the road system in the Great Plain as well.
