  • PAKS II PROJECT to BOOST ECONOMIC GROWTH.Pdf
    PAKS II PROJECT TO BOOST ECONOMIC GROWTH The construction of two new units for the Paks Nuclear Power Plant is the project of the century. The project may create a significant number of jobs at a number of manufacturing and service companies, as well as in education through the required training of fresh professional graduates, thereby providing a livelihood for several tens of thousands of people. The identification of potential domestic suppliers and subcontractors has begun. Nearly 400 companies have come forward so far in order to contribute to the up to 40% proportion of domestic suppliers. More than three-quarters of the population support the already operational nuclear power plant, and the managers of the identified domestic companies unanimously support the establishment of the new units. Operating with the support of more than three-quarters of the population, the Paks Nuclear Power Plant is the most marketable electricity generator in Hungary today, accounts for more than half the electricity generated in Hungary, and helps keep the price of electricity at an affordable level. At the Paks Nuclear Power Plant, the quantity of electricity generated since its connection to the grid has recently reached 400 TWh, which corresponds to the electricity used by the whole Hungarian population over a period of 35 years. The electricity generated at the nuclear power plant is by far the cheapest in Hungary, and this will remain so with the units to be newly constructed. ‘In connection with the establishment of the new units, the Russian party has undertaken to guarantee local content of up to 40%,’ said Mrs Lászlóné Németh, Minister for National Development.

Abstract The relationship between magyarization and Hungarian civil society during the reform era of Hungarian history (1790-1848) is the subject of this dissertation. This thesis examines the cultural and political activities of three liberal oppositional nobles: András Fáy (1786-1864), István Bezerédj (1796-1856) and Ödön Beöthy (1796-1854). These three men were chosen as the basis of this study because of their commitment to a two- pronged approach to politics: they advocated greater cultural magyarization in the multiethnic Hungarian Kingdom and campaigned to extend the protection of the Hungarian constitution to segments of the non-aristocratic portion of the Hungarian population.

  • 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

  • Regional Differences in Land Use in Hungary
    DOI: 10.2478/vjbsd-2018-0003 1/2018 Visegrad Journal on Bioeconomy and Sustainable Development 11 REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN LAND USE IN HUNGARY Norbert Bozsik*, Gábor Koncz Eszterházy Károly University, Károly Róbert Campus, Gyöngyös, Hungary In the last decades, the area of agricultural land has been declined permanently in Hungary. Despite the diminishing production area, Hungary is among the leaders in terms of the proportion of agricultural land to the total area in the European Union. There are several reasons of using the arable land. As other economic sectors have gained a greater role in the production of GDP and employment, they have taken a larger area from agriculture. Real estate and infrastructure developments were justified by raising the standard of living of the population. The soil, nature, landscape and water protection aspects were also involved. In Hungary, the arable land is the most important natural resource, so it is very important to protect it. In our study, we examine the changes of arable land and uncultivated area in Hungary based on secondary databases of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office and departments of the Ministry of Agriculture. In the course of the research we focused on regional disparities. Keywords: arable land, non-agricultural land use, land protection, regional disparities The land is the resource of agricultural production. Land assets have important features, slope and climatic conditions are all good for agricultural production, characteristics: scarcity (land exists only in fixed amounts), immobility, and although there are significant regional differences (Birkás et al., 2012). durability.

  • Land Reform and the Hungarian Peasantry C. 1700-1848
    Land Reform and the Hungarian Peasantry c. 1700-1848 Robert William Benjamin Gray UCL Thesis submitted for a PhD in History, 2009 1 I, Robert William Benjamin Gray, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 25th September 2009 2 Abstract This thesis examines the nature of lord-peasant relations in the final stages of Hungarian seigneurialism, dating roughly from 1700 to the emancipation of the peasantry in 1848. It investigates how the terms of the peasants’ relations with their lords, especially their obligations and the rights to the land they farmed, were established, both through written law and by customary practice. It also examines how the reforms of this period sought to redefine lord-peasant relations and rights to landed property. Under Maria Theresa land reform had been a means to protect the rural status quo and the livelihood of the peasantry: by the end of the 1840s it had become an integral part of a liberal reform movement aiming at the complete overhaul of Hungary’s ‘feudal’ social and economic system. In this period the status of the peasantry underpinned all attempts at reform. All reforms were claimed to be in the best interests of the peasantry, yet none stemmed from the peasants themselves. Conversely, the peasantry had means to voice their grievances through petitions and recourse to the courts, and took the opportunity provided by the reforms to reassert their rights and renegotiate the terms of their relations to their landlords.

The German community in Hungary suffered many blows at the end of World War II and after it, on the basis of collective guilt. Immediately after the Red Army had marched in, gathering and deportation started into the camps of the Soviet Union, primarily into forced-labour camps in Donetsk, the Caucasus, and the Ural mountains. One third of them never RETURNED4HOSELEFTBEHINDHADTOFACEFORCEDRESETTLEMENT THECONlSCATION of their properties, and other ordeals. Their history was a taboo subject until the change of the political system in 1989. Not even until our days, by the 70th anniversary of the events, has their story reached a worthy place in national and international remembrance. International collaboration, the establishment of a research institute is needed to set to rights in history the story of the ordeal of the German community after World War II, for the present and future generations.
