Discount Rate. the 5.5% Discount Rate Used in the Ex Post Is Lower Than That Used in the Ex Ante 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.

Final Report. Report dated June 2004. Appendix 10 - Budapest Ring Road (eastern section) in Hungary 4 Frontier Economics, Atkins, ITS | March 2011 Description The M0 Eastern Sector comprises of four sections, one of which has been funded solely by the Hungarian government. The remaining three sections and the M31 spur (between the M0 and the M3) have been part-funded by the EU. The different sections of the M0 and the M31 are illustrated in Figure 3. Initially, only the three sections of the M0 Eastern Sector (Lots 2, 3 and 4) were to be part-funded by the EU1. The M31, whilst part of the original funding application in 2004, was excluded from the funding due to financing constraints. However, as the tendered costs for the M0 East sections were well below those estimated, an amendment to the application to include the M31 (Lot 5) was made in 2006. Each of the four sections co-funded by the EU was subject to a separate tendering exercise – hence the reason they are referred to as ‘Lots’. As can be seen from Table 1 the EU has co-funded 38.7 km of motorway of which 25.5 km is on the M0 and 12.2 km comprises the M31. This motorway is Dual 2 lanes throughout, though the southern section of it (Lots 2 and 3a) has been constructed with provision for upgrading to Dual 3 lanes at a later date. In accordance with Hungarian law, no vignette or toll charges are payable on the M0 or M31. This is because they form part of an orbital motorway around an urban area. The total cost of constructing the co-funded sections of the M0 Eastern Sector and the M31 is estimated at €367m2 of which the EU has contributed €271m2 (which is 85% of the costs excluding sunk costs and other ineligible costs). The Hungarian Authorities also invested €6.0m into an electronic communication system on the motorway. The M0 Eastern Sector opened to traffic on September 16th 2008, whilst the M31 Gödöllő Connection only opened in the summer of 2010. 10.1.2 Context Socio-economic context Table 2 presents some summary data for Hungary and Budapest, with averages for the EU also presented for comparison. As can be seen from this table, GDP per capita in Hungary is about two thirds of the EU average. Budapest, as the largest city (1.8 million people) and the capital of Hungary, performs more strongly, economically, than the rest of the country. This can be seen as output and income per head is higher in Budapest than in the rest of the country. As 1 Lot 1 (M0 between M5 motorway and Trunk road 4) was funded in its entirety by the Hungarian government. 2 It is an estimate as not all costs have been invoiced yet by the contractor. Appendix 10 - Budapest Ring Road (eastern section) in Hungary March 2011 | Frontier Economics, Atkins, ITS 5 such GDP per capita in Budapest is just under 90% of the EU average for 2007 (the last year that such regional data is available for). Hungary experienced strong economic growth up to the beginning of the recent recession. Between 2000 and 2006 its economy outperformed that of the EU as a whole, however, since 2007 this trend has been reversed. 2009 saw a severe drop in output with a 6.3% reduction in real GDP per capita. For 2010 the economy is forecast to stabilise with moderate growth in 2011. Unemployment data mimics the previous two observations. Firstly, unemployment is lower in Budapest than in other parts of the country. Secondly, unemployment in Hungary used to be below the EU average until the recent economic problems became apparent. Now it is higher than the EU average. Appendix 10 - Budapest Ring Road (eastern section) in Hungary 6 Frontier Economics, Atkins, ITS | March 2011 Table 1.

The high traffic volumes and levels of congestion are a major contributor to poor air quality. As shown in Figure 4, the centre of Budapest is classified as ‘heavily polluted’ (red square). Aside from a polluted sector (amber square) in the north of the city the remainder of the city is classified as having acceptable air quality (yellow square) or good (green) or excellent (blue).

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.

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.

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%).

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.
