Logistic services1 In the database of the National Bureau of Statistics the Sector of Transport and Storage is not devided into subsectors, so we can describe only the entire economic sector. This makes more difficult to analyse the current situation, as this sector contains all transport activitity (road, rail, air, water transport, passenger and freight transport, as well as pipeline transport), and only a small part represents the support activities for transportation. Transportation is a part of logistics, but it can be estimated that private entrepreneurs belonging to the sector principally deal with transportation and only a splinter group of them deals with other fields of logistics. For a better summary lets specialize the main components of logistic services: carriage transportation storing/warehousing packaging 1 Külföldi tőke a régiókban. KSH 2012. december, Jelentés a szállítási ágazat helyzetéről, 2011. KSH 2012. november, Zala Megye statisztikai évkönyve 2011., Statisztikai tájékoztató. Zala megye 2013/1. KSH 2013. június 6 7 customs administration postal services inventory management call center management etc. The service level of Zala County can be characterized by the fact that only one certified logistic center operates in Zala County (Sprintcamion Zrt. Nagykanizsa-Sormás). In Zala County 931 enterprises operated in the Sector of Transportation and Storage in March, 2013. More than half of them were private entrepreneurs (54 percent) and three of them were Public Limited Companies. The number of entrepreneurship increased by almost 20 percent in 2011 (at that time 785 entrepreneurship operated in this sector). This indicates that the performance of the sector has increased. (The Hungarian National Bureau of Statistics doesn’t publish regional data concerning this sector’s value added.) Economic organizations functioning in the Sector of Transport and Carriage represented 2 percent of the total economic organizations of the County. At national level the sector contributes appr. 5 percent to national GDP, while 4,3% of the functioning enterprises run such activities. This way it is presumably valid also for Zala County that the contribution to value added slightly exceeds the proportion of enterprises. At national level, 10 percent of full-time private sector employees work in the Sector of Transportation and Storage. In Zala County the proportion of the workers in the sector is just 7 percent which is nearly the same ratio as their share in enterprises. However, it is remarkable that these enterprises made almost 8 percent of all investments of Zala County in the first quarter of 2013. More than half of the investments were spent on machines and vehicles (the county average is 25%). The average gross and net earnings in the sector were constantly lower than the county average. The net earnings of manual workers in the first quarter of 2013 constituted 92 percent of the county average. During this period, it was also typical that the growth rate of the average gross and net earnings was lower relative to the average growth rate measured in the other sectors of the county. The sizes of enterprises dealing with transporting and storage in Zala is well characterised by the number of economic organizations by size-class. 7 8 The distribution of economic organizations by size-class in the sector of transportation and storage in Zala County, 2010 Source: Yearbook of Zala County, National Bureau of Statistics, 2011 In 2010, four enterprises of the sector had foreign interest which represents 5 percent of active enterprises. The share of foreign investment in these enterprises had reached 95% of the equity which shows that most of the enterprises were in 100 % foreign ownership. The enterprises with foreign ownership operating in the sector represents 2 % of the total enterprises with foreign ownership in Zala County. So the sector has the similar share in foreign capital and in total enterprises as well. 3.6.3. Furniture and wood works Wood-industry In 2011, 54 enterprises operated in wood industry in Zala County. Nearly 63 percent of the enterprises worked in the 6 branches of wood processing industry. The remaining part (37%) worked in the 4 branches of furniture industry. Analysing the production value of the sector we can state that the furniture industry provided nearly 53% of the production value in 2011, while wood processing industry provided the remaining 47% of the production value. Exports accounted for 81,3% of the total sales of wood industry companies.

Ma még nyitott kérdés, hogy egy elmaradott megye fejlettebb régióhoz tartozása és relatíve kedvező regionális gazdasági környezete mennyiben segítheti a régiós, illetve az országos átlaghoz való felzárkózását. A tapasztalatok azt mutatják, hogy a történelmileg kialakult hátrányos helyzet felszámolásához az érintett megye számára az eddiginél érzékelhetőbbé kellene tenni a felzárkózást segítő „pozitív diszkriminációt”. Ehhez azonban nem elég a régió és a megyék szándéka. Arra is szükség lenne, hogy a régiók és a megyék a jelenleginél nagyobb mértékben rendelkezzenek saját fejlesztési forrásokkal, amit a területi egyenlőtlenségek mérséklésére fordíthatnának. A tanulmány Zala megye és a Nyugat- dunántúli Régió gazdasági teljesítményének és az országos átlaghoz viszonyított helyzetének összehasonlító elemzésén túl a megyei vállalkozások pályázati aktivitását vizsgálja az első és a második Nemzeti Fejlesztési Terv időszakában. Foglalkozik a vállalkozások forrásbevonási képességével, a pályázati munka hatékonyságával. Külön témaként elemzi a Magyar Fejlesztési Bank hitelprogramját, aminek

    Zala County Hospital Szent Rafael Zalaegerszeg, HU Case Study Property Owner OVERVIEW Zala County Hospital In order to provide a faster emergency response time Main Contractor for South Eastern Hungary, the Zala County Hospital ZÁÉV compound was equipped with a helicopter landing pad on top of the new paediatric building. Architect Zala-Art (István Czigány) Acoustic Consultant Gusztáv Józsa Stravifloor Prefab • Pre-manufactured modular floating floor solution. • Excellent structure-borne and airborne noise isolation thanks to the elastomeric bearings or springs. SOLUTION To isolate the landing pad from the rest of the building a high performance floating slab system, Stravifloor Prefab, was designed to take a permanent load of up to 500 kg/m² plus an occasional temporary load for 1 helicopter of 400 kg/m². Particular attention had to be paid to practical considerations such as drainage and thermal insulation of the building. Consequently, the slab was constructed with a horizontal bottom but with a slight incline on top to ensure no standing water was present on the landing pad. In addition, a thermal insulation layer was also installed in the air void which had to stay uncompressed even when the slab was already loaded in order not to influence the calculated performance of the floating floor. AT A GLANCE CHALLENGES • During take-off and landing, helicopters produce a lot of noise and vibration that can interfere with sensitive medical equipment and disturb both patients and medical staff BENEFITS • Transmission of structure-borne noise towards the rest of the building is significantly reduced • Quick and easy installation REUTENBEEK 9-11, 3090 OVERIJSE, BELGIUM T +32 2 687 79 07 / F +32 2 687 35 52 [email protected] / WWW.CDM-STRAVITEC.COM.

  • Mass Dieback of Beech (Fagus Sylvatica) in Zala County
    Lakatos & Molnár: Mass dieback of beech (Fagus sylvatica) in Zala County MASS DIEBACK OF BEECH (FAGUS SYLVATICA) IN ZALA COUNTY Lakatos Ferenc1, Molnár Miklós2 1 University of West Hungary, Institute of Forest and Wood Protection, H-9400 Sopron ([email protected]) 2 University of West Hungary, Institute of Forest and Wood Protection, H-9400 Sopron ([email protected]) Abstract The mass dieback of beech in Hungary, which started in 2003 and went on through 2004, is a typical damage-chain. The appearing symptoms are characteristic: small outflow and white spots (2-3 cm diameter) in the crown. Later branches are blackening and leaves are withering. The coming off of the bark in palm-size tiles is typical on the trunk. These symptoms are mostly eye-catching on stand margins. The decay has firstly appeared in extrazonal beech forests. The most significant reason was the dry and warm vegetation period of 2002-2004. During and after this time different pests and pathogens appeared. The root causes of the dieback were the insect species of Argilus viridis and Tophrorychus bicolor as well as the fungus species of Biscogniauxia nummularia. With the improvement of climatic aspects continuous recovery of the stands has been observed since 2005. Keywords: Fagus sylvatica, Agrilus viridis, Taphrorychus bicolor, Biscogniauxia nummularia 1 Introduction In 2003 a sort of dieback of beech that had rarely been seen before started in Hungary. Similar symptoms were only recorded once in the country in the 1880s (Piso, 1886). The detailed revelation of the reasons did not start that time. The motive of this might have been the unimportant economic role of beech or the extent of the decay, which was probably far behind some more significant problems of forest protection.

(2019): Orchids in Zala County (Hungary). – Studia bot. hung. 50(1): 135–184. Abstract: In the present paper, I summarize the results of orchid research of the last three decades in the Southwest Transdanubian region. Besides publishing the detailed occurrences of the orchid taxa recorded, the relevant habitat conditions, as well as the most important environmental chang- es and threatening factors are also presented. Key words: conservation, ecosystem health indicator, endangered plant, Orchidaceae, Southwest Transdanubian region INTRODUCTION Th e family of orchids is oft en overrepresented in botanical research all around Europe: numerous new taxa are being described in the Mediterranean region, and nowadays the orchid fl ora is considered to be one of the best explored not just in Europe, but all over the World. In most of the European countries, comprehensive orchid atlases are available for the general public; in the last two decades, two such books have also been published in Hungary (Molnár et al. 1995, Molnár 2011). In the present study, the surveyed area is Zala County and its bordering countryside, which can be found in Transdanubia in southwestern Hungary. Th is is a geologically and geomorphologically diverse region of the country. In the eastern border of the region, Lake Balaton and the dolomite block of the Keszthely Mts are present; the latter is surrounded by volcanic mountains from the north.

  • Geostatistical Analysis of Surface Soil Texture from Zala County in Western Hungary
    International Symposium on Environment, Energy and Water in Nepal: Recent Researches and Direction for Future Geostatistical analysis of surface soil texture from Zala county in western Hungary K. Adhikari*,**, A. Guadagnini**, G. Toth*and T. Hermann*** *Land Management and Natural Hazards Unit, Institute for Environment and Sustainability, Joint Research Center, European Commission, Ispra, Italy (E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] ) **Dipartimento di Ingegneria Idraulica, Ambientale, Infrastrutture Viarie e Rilevamento (D.I.I.A.R.), Politecnico Di Milano, Milano, Italy (E-mail: [email protected] ) ***Georgikon Faculty, University of Pannonia, Keszthely, Hungary (E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract Soil texture is one of the most important soil properties governing most of the physical, chemical and hydrological properties of soils. Variability in soil texture may contribute to the variation in nutrient storage and availability, water retention and transport and binding and stability of soil aggregates. It can directly or indirectly influence many other soil functions and soil threats such as soil erosion. Geostatistics has been extensively used for quantifying the spatial pattern of soil properties and Kriging techniques are proving sufficiently robust for estimating values at unsampled locations in most of the cases. In our study, we show the applicability of Ordinary Kriging techniques to characterize the spatial variation of soil texture i.e. sand and clay content on the basis of 100 samples collected over a forest mixed agriculture farming area covering about 250sq. km of Zala County in western Hungary. Our study supports the usefulness of geostatistical techniques to analyze the spatial distribution of soil texture content.
