De stad met een rijk verleden en een uniek cultureel erfgoed toont u nu een heel nieuw gezicht. Vorig jaar hebben we de inwoners van de grote steden in Europa op „een zomers avontuur in Boe- dapest” gelokt. Inwoners van Boedapest hebben aan onze gasten aan de hand van de kunst en design, party en amusement, rust en verkwikking, liefde en romantiek, festivals en evenementen geheime tips en plekken aan- bevolen die in feite alleen bij de ingezetenen van Boedapest bekend zijn. Boedapest, ook de locatie van twee erfgoederen van de UNESCO, is de enige hoofdstad ter wereld waar bijna honderd thermale bronnen en 12 geneeskrachtige baden te vinden zijn en waar elke dag 19 miljoen liter thermaal water opborrelt. Maar wist u wat voor avontuur een nachtelijke badparty in de Rudas is of een romantische verloving op het Margaretha-eiland? László Fekete In deze stad zijn de overblijfselen van Romeinse vestigingswerken en gebou- directeur Toeristische wen, de ook nog functionerende Turkse baden, de erfenissen uit de gotiek en dienstverlening in barok en een hele rits aan monumenten uit de Jugendstil.

  • Regional Types of Tourism in Hungary

Department of Economic Geography and Futures Studies, Corvinus University of Budapest Metropolitan Tourism Experience Development Selected studies from the Tourism Network Workshop of the Regional Studies Association, held in Budapest, Hungary, 2015 Edited by István Tózsa and Anita Zátori Read by Catherine R. Feuerverger Cover by László Jeney ISBN: 978-963-503-597-7 Published by the Department of Economic Geography and Futures Study 2015 1 2 Introduction On January 28-30, 2015 Corvinus University of Budapest hosted the latest workshop of the Regional Studies Association’s Tourism Research Network. The event had been held previously in Izmir, Aalborg, Warsaw, Östersund, Antalya, Leeds and Vila-seca Catalonia. The aim of the RSA research network is to examine tourism diversity from the perspective of regional development in order to identify current challenges and opportunities in a systematic manner, and hence provide the basis for a more well-informed integration of tourism in regional development strategies and move beyond political short-termism and buzzword fascination. In the frame of the network a series of workshops have been organised from various topics of destination management till rural tourism. In the age of budget airlines and increased mobility, the importance for metropolitan areas of positioning themselves in an increasingly competitive environment where the boundaries between international tourism and local leisure are becoming blurred, has increased. Metropolitan areas are highly preferred targets for tourists owing to their diversified and concentrated attractions particularly cultural heritages and up-to-date events as well as to their business environment. They are the focal points of tourism in a lot of regions and countries.

  • Practical Experiences in Invasive Alien Plant Control. Rosalia Handbooks
    ROSALIA Handbooks ROSALIA Handbooks Practical Experiences in Invasive Alien Plant Control Invasive plant species pose major agricultural, silvicultural, human health and ecological problems worldwide, and are considered the most signifi cant threat for nature conservation. Species invading natural areas in Hungary have been described by a number of books published in the Practical Experiences in Invasive Alien Plant Control last few years. A great amount of experience has been gathered about the control of these species in some areas, which we can read about in an increasing number of articles; however, no book has been published with regards to the whole country. Invasions affecting larger areas require high energy and cost input, and the effectiveness and successfulness of control can be infl uenced by a number of factors. The development of effective, widely applicable control and eradication technologies is preceded by experiments and examinations which are based on a lot of practical experience and often loaded with negative experiences. National park directorates, forest and agricultural managers and NGOs in many parts of Hungary are combatting the spread of invasive species; however, the exchange of information and conclusion of experiences among the managing bodies is indispensable. The aim of the present volume is to facilitate this by summarizing experiences and the methods applied in practice; which, we hope, will enable us to successfully stop the further spread of invasive plant species and effectively protect our natural values. Hungary-Slovakia Cross-border Co-operation Programme 2007-2013 Duna-Ipoly National Park Directorate Financial support for this manual has been provided by “Unified protection against invasive alien plants in sand and floodplain habitats” project.

  • Terrestrial Laser Scanning – Civil Engineering Applications
    International Archives of Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Vol. XXXVIII, Part 5 Commission V Symposium, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. 2010 TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNING – CIVIL ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS A. Berenyi, T. Lovas, A. Barsi Department of Photogrammetry and Geoinformatics, Budapest University of Technology and Economics [email protected] Commission V, WG V/3 KEY WORDS: Terrestrial laser scanning, accuracy analysis, laboratory tests, load test measurement, engineering survey ABSTRACT: Three dimensional terrestrial laser scanning has already proved its potential in several application fields, such as topography, archaeology, mining and cultural heritage protection. Beside these areas a new demand emerged: accurate point cloud acquisition and post-processed results in engineering survey. This technology could broaden the field of engineering survey, although the limited accuracy has to be carefully considered. In order to confirm the accuracy claimed by the manufacturer, the Department of Photogrammetry and Geoinformatics carried out two complex laboratory measurements, where not only the main accuracy values were examined but the effect of different materials, colours and the incident angle. 1. LABORATORY TESTS 1.2 Basic accuracy analysis: distance differences 1.1 Accuracy of distance measurement During the second laboratory investigation 9 points were measured with a Riegl LMS Z420i and with a Leica TRCM The first laboratory test focused on the investigation of distance 1203 total station in the laboratory of Department of Structural measurement accuracy. In theory, this can be described by Engineering. The distances were calculated in every point simple mathematical equations, but particular circumstances combination (the result is a 9 by 9 matrix) based on the and objects could have various influences on the result.

Ezt a helyzetet több mint húsz éve a történelmi igazságosság tette helyére: a letűnt rendszer bukásának köszönhetően egyszeriben nemzeti és történelmi identitásaink a megfelelő helyen, az öreg kontinens nyugati felén találták magukat. Azt is mondhatnánk, hogy „földrajzi értelemben” ekkor valósult meg a magát mindig is nyugatinak tartó Duna menti térség álma, amely arról szólt, hogy Európa közepén egy még „igazibb”, kultúrájában még sokszínűbb Európában éljünk, mint amilyen álmodozásunk tárgya, a Nyugat. Visszanyert identitásunkat ebben a térségben csak részben testesítik meg a földcsuszamlásszerű politikai változások.

    March 2011 | Frontier Economics, Atkins, ITS 1 Appendix 10 - Budapest Ring Road (eastern section) in Hungary 10.1 Introduction 10.1.1 Project overview Location The M0 motorway acts as an orbital road around Budapest. To date the northern, eastern and southern sections of the orbital motorway have been constructed. There are also proposals for a western section and the southern section is currently being upgraded. Part of the eastern section and a link road (the M31) between it and the M3 is the focus of this study. Budapest sits at an important junction for international traffic. This can be seen in Figure 1. It is also evident from the fact that three land-based Pan-European corridors pass through Budapest. These are corridors IV (from the north-west to the south-east), V (from the west to the east) and X (to the south along the route of corridor IV initially). As can be seen from Figure 1, in terms of traffic volumes, corridor IV from the Austrian and Slovakian borders to Budapest is the most important. The importance of the M0 Eastern sector to international and long distance traffic is illustrated in Figure 2 – which shows the passage of trucks (both national and international) in Hungary.

This being the internet, early voting went heavily for martial arts legend Chuck Norris.1 Then Stephen Colbert got involved. According to Wikipedia: American satirist Stephen Colbert discussed the [Reuters news] story on his comedy program The Colbert Report, instructing his viewers to visit the polling website and vote for him instead of [Chuck] Norris. The next day the number of votes for him had grown 230 times, and he now asked his viewers to follow a link from his own “Colbert Nation” website, to avoid “all that illegible Hungarian”. Colbert’s site also indirectly offered techniques for “stuffing the ballot box” . as users of their forums created several automated scripts to cast multiple votes for Colbert .

  • Budapest Budapest
    Europe > Central Europe > Hungary > Central Hungary > Budapest Budapest From Wikivoyage Budapest (http://www.budapestinfo.hu/home_en.html) is the capital city of Hungary. With a unique, youthful atmosphere, world-class classical music scene, a pulsating nightlife increasingly appreciated among European youth, and last but not least, an exceptional offer of natural thermal baths, Budapest is one of Europe's most delightful and enjoyable cities. Due to the exceedingly scenic setting, and its architecture it is nicknamed "Paris of the East". The modern-day Budapest results from the amalgamation of two historic cities lying right opposite each other over the Danube river. Buda is the western (left) bank side, with the high hill atop which the Buda castle sits. Pest is the relatively flat eastern (right) bank side, with the Parliament, numerous other stately buildings, and busy streets retaining all their 19th century architectural heritage. In 1987 Budapest was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List for the cultural and architectural significance of the Banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter and Andrássy Avenue. Districts Although Budapest is administratively divided into 23 numbered districts (always written in Roman numerals) it is colloquially often divided into parts, roughly corresponding to the two major cities of Buda and Pest, which it comprises. Listings of particular points of interests - museums, historic monuments, restaurants, bars, hotels, shopping opportunities and such - can be found in the following articles: Belbuda (Inner Buda) (District I) The oldest part of the city containing the Castle and some of Budapest's best-known attractions such as Fishermen’s Bastion, the Labyrinth and Mathias Church.
