INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND INFORMATION Article 24(2) of the EED provides that by 30 April 2014, and every three years thereafter, Member States shall submit National Energy Efficiency Action Plans. On the basis of that obligation, the 3rd National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (‘NEEAP’) must be submitted to the European Commission. The document also includes the report on progress in terms of end-use efficiency in comparison with the 9 % energy savings target to be met by 2016, determined on the basis of Directive 2006/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on energy end-use efficiency and energy services (ESD). 1.1 Hungary’s economic situation, influencing factors In 2013 Q4, economic activity picked up in a wide range of economic sectors. In addition to export industries, economic output also increased in sectors producing to satisfy domestic demand (e.g. construction industry). The slowing down of potential growth for almost ten years in the past stopped in 2013, due principally to an increase in investment projects. The contribution of various sectors to economic growth is shown in the chart below. (Figure

  • Ethnic Identity of the Borderland of Hungary, Austria and Slovenia
    Geographica Timisiensis, vol. XXIV, nr1, 2015 ● ETHNIC IDENTITY OF THE BORDERLAND OF HUNGARY, AUSTRIA AND SLOVENIA Dániel BALIZS Geographical Institute, Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences, Hungarian Academy of Sciences Email: [email protected] Péter BAJMÓCY Szeged University, Department of Economy and Human Geography Szeged, Hungary Email: [email protected] Abstract The historical Vas county is a mezoregion on the borderland of three countries – Austria, Hungary and Slovenia. It has multipolar ethnic structure with several ethnic minorities along the borders. We can see the decline of ethnic diversity in the last decades not only in the disappearing of linguistic islands and scattered minority groups, but also in identitical (dual identity, strong local identities) and language using (bilingualism, polilingualism) aspects. In this paper we try to present the number, changes and regionality of ethnically mixed settlements and try to quantify the percentage of the ethnically mixed population. We used the official statistics and added the results of fieldworks and interviews with local people. In the minority settlements large percentage of the local community (30-70%) has a special type of identity because of the differences of ethnic, national and local identities, the geographic and historical circumstances. We can see this special way of thinking by the individual and community routes, language using specialities and the other representations of ethnic consciousness. Keywords: minorities, ethnic geography, ethnic identity, Carpathian Basin, diversity 1. INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to describe the ethnic characteristics of a special region. We can find several minority groups in the western part of the Carpathian-Basin.

  • Best Practice in Hungary – Energy Efficient Cities
    BEST PRACTICE IN HUNGARY – ENERGY EFFICIENT CITIES BASIC INFORMATION Title of the Best Practice: Construction of the “Boiling Point Energy House”, Paks, Tolna, Hungary Energy efficiency measures implemented in the building: The building was constructed using traditional materials, such as adobe, which when used correctly, can reduce cooling and heating demand. A mobile hull was installed to increase insulation in cold weather and to decrease cooling demand; that also effect solar exposure. Geothermal probes and water-source heat pumps are also installed. Location: City: Paks Region: Tolna County, South Transdanubia Country: Hungary GoogleMaps link: https://goo.gl/maps/D53TWNvCpPF2 Partners involved: - Prof. Dr. habil István Kistelegdi DLA, PhD; H-7624 Pécs, Ifjúság str. 20, Room A-114 (János Szentágothai Research Centre), web: https://energiadesign.hu/en; planner - Active Energy Association (www.forraspontpaks.hu, H-7030 Paks, Elkerülő str. 4852/1), investor and applicant Implementation year: 2017 Photos: Source: http://epa.oszk.hu/02900/02971/00027/pdf/EPA02971_octogon_2017_1_056-061.pdf SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS Brief Description: The aim of the investment was to provide an example of a building which can adapt to the outer circumstances, such as temperature, solar exposure, humidity, ventilation, etc. by a mobile outer shell moved by a pulley system. The Energy House was built using traditional “adobe” bricks and a monolithic concrete structure, therefore it can exploit the advantages of said brick, which are improved humidity control

ZOFFMANN * The topographical position and size of the site, the number of detected houses, the presence of the early phase make the Apc-Berekalja I settlement one of the most significant sites of the LBK in Hungary. The ongoing processing of the excavation data provided already some very important observations. The geoarchaeological results demonstrated the presence of the in situ soil of the Neolithic period and effects of floods on the settlement. The study of the chipped and ground stone material coming from the Neolithic features revealed no conspicuous changes in the lithic industry of the settlement from the pre-Notenkopf to Želiezovce phases of the LBK. Lithic raw materials came exclusively from territories to the east of the site, which is an evidence of the isolation of the LBK groups that inhabited Apc.

  • Eger Bull's Blood Project (Heves)
    RENCOM – Workpackage 4 – Hungarian case studies: Eger Bull’s blood project Page 1 Eger Bull’s blood project (Heves) Winegrowers play a major rule in this county. Bull’s blood is one of the two most famous wines in Hungary (the other one is the „old Tokay” from the county next to Heves) which is grown in Eger, the capital city of Heves. After the transition in the early 90’s, many new small farmers have appeared on the hills of Eger, who try to produce Bull’s blood. At this time there wasn’t any approving method to control the quality of wines. This situation was very harmful for the wine-growers who tried to sell quality wines with high prices, and of course it was very harmful for the famous brand, „Bull’s blood”. But many small farmers produced red wine under the brand’s name “Bull’s blood”, whose quality were not suitable, and before the transition, in the foreign markets the brand became the synonym of a “moderate quality” Hungarian red wine, and these bottles abided on the bottom shelves of the supermarkets. Another problem also arose: Eger’s farmers can’t deal with each other if the Bull’s blood has to become the region’s dominant famed high quality wine or it should remain an in quantity produced and within easy reach market-leader red wine. We try to focus on a special network in which actors try to rebuild the brand of the wine in the Hungarian market as well as in the world market.

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.
