    ACTA CLIMATOLOGICA ET CHOROLOGICA Universitatis Szegediensis, Tom. 34-35, 2001, 93-107. CONDITIONS OF ETHNIC MINORITIES IN THE SOUTH PLAIN REGION Á. RÁTKAI1 and Z. SÜMEGHY2 1Dél-Alföld, monthly, 6720 Szeged, Tisza L. krt. 2., E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Climatology and Landscape Ecology, University of Szeged, P.O.Box 653, 6701 Szeged, Hungary Összefoglalás - A Dél-Alföldön csak a német, horvát, szerb, szlovák és román etnikumok töredéke maradt meg, s arányuk a népesség 1,6 %-ára csökkent. Szegeden viszont különböző etnikumú személyek telepedtek le, egymásra találtak, új etnikai közösségekké formálódtak, s szlovák, szerb, lengyel, román, orosz, német, cigány, vietnami, görög, ukrán, arab, örmény és latin (spanyol) egyesületeket alapítottak. Exlex kisebbségek az orosz, a vietnami, az arab és a latin, amelyeknek kisebbségi jogai nincsenek, s egyesületeik csak magyar egyesületként működhetnek. A magyar, cigány és beás anyanyelvű közösségekből álló cigány etnikum a legnagyobb létszámú. A cigány gyermekek nem kapják meg a szükséges segítséget az iskola előkészítéshez és az iskolakezdéshez, ezért tanulásra és önmaguk eltartására egyaránt képtelen évfolyamaik kerülnek ki az iskolából. Summary - In the South Plain only a fraction of the German, the Croatian, the Serbian, the Slovakian and the Rumanian ethnical groups abode, and their ratio decreased to 1.6% of the population. However, in Szeged persons of different ethnical units settled down, discovered each other, new ethnical communities were formed, and Slovakian, Serbian, Polish, Rumanian, Russian, German, Gypsy, Vietnamese, Greek, Ukrainian, Arabian, Armenian and Latin (Spanish) associations were established. The Russian, the Vietnamese, the Arabian and the Latin are exlex minorities who have no minority rights.

Preface One of the principal objectives of IIASA's research Task on Human Settlement Systems: Development Processes and Strategies is to delin- eate functional urban regions in the industrially advanced nations. These regions collectively exhaust the respective national territories, and usually consist of an urban core area and its functionally related hinterland area. The organization of small-area data based on these statistical re- gions will provide a more satisfactory basis for comparative analysis of the nature and significance of spatial differences in the economic and demographic structure, as well as evolution, of human settlement systems.

  • Flood Risk in Szeged Before River Engineering Works: a Historical Reconstruction
    JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL GEOGRAPHY Journal of Environmental Geography 9 (3–4), 1–12. DOI: 10.1515/jengeo-2016-0007 ISSN: 2060-467X FLOOD RISK IN SZEGED BEFORE RIVER ENGINEERING WORKS: A HISTORICAL RECONSTRUCTION Csaba Szalontai University of Szeged, Department of Geology and Palaeontology, Egyetem u. 2-6, H-6720 Szeged, Hungary *Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Research article, received 3 May 2016, accepted 10 September 2016 Abstract Szeged situated at the confluence of the Tisza and the Maros Rivers has been exposed to significant flood risk for centuries due to its low elevation and its location on the low floodplain level. After the Ottoman (Turkish) occupation of Hungary (ended in 1686), sec- ondary sources often reported that the town was affected by devastating floods which entered the area from north, and a great part of the town or its whole area was inundated. Natural and artificial infill reduced the flood risk to some extent after the town had been founded, but in the 19th century flood risk was mitigated by river engineering and the reconstruction of the town. The town relief was raised by a huge amount of sediment, which makes it difficult to determine the elevation of the original relief as well as the exact flood risk of the study area. However, some engineering surveys originating from the 19th century contain hundreds of levelling data in a dense control point network making possible to model the relief of the whole town preceding its reconstruction and ground infill. Based on these data, we prepared a relief model which was compared with the known data of the 1772 flood peak, from which we deduced that 60% of the town must have been inundated before it was filled up.

  • Doug and Dianne Mcclintic - Hungary
    Doug and Dianne McClintic - Hungary Our goal in 2020 was to form and activate the European Church Planting Partnership which has only partially been realized due to the pandemic. Doug serves as the planting director of the partnership. A sub-goal was to relocate to Europe and station ourselves in Hungary. We were able to do this in late January, then had to return to the US due to a family emergency (March through July). We were able to return to Hungary in early August. COVID-19 prevented us from having our first ECPP Summit originally scheduled for May and then rescheduled for October. Both events were eventually canceled. We were able to develop the website for the partnership, europartnership.org and three new churches held their first worship services. Anchor Church in Dallas, Romania; RELISH Church in Hanover, Germany; and Crosspointe Church in Szeged, Hungary. We helped three church planting teams develop the beginnings of a five-year strategy. Blessings of 2020 We were able to adopt a church in the Netherlands as a restart. The Filadefia Church in Apeldoorn began a process of restarting and relocating its services under the direction of Pastor Christiaan van Dijk. We hosted a “virtual” mission trip with the Hungarian Church Planting Collaborative and assisted by Global Mission Staff. This event was held in October and included members of Harbor Churches, Fifth Reformed Church of Grand Rapids, Centerpointe Church of Kalamazoo, and Community Reformed of Zeeland, as well Dianne and Doug meet with re-start as Hungarian Pastors from the Urreti Reformed Church of Debrecen, Church Planter, Christiaan van Dijk the University Reformed Churches of Debrecen and Szeged, and in the Netherlands - February 2020 Crosspointe Reformed Church of Szeged.

Due to the sensitive nature of personal and movement information of the city’s residents, it was not made available for the experiments. Therefore realistic synthetic input data has been constructed based on census statistical information and geographic databases. This section briefly summarises the data sources and data generation algorithms. Data Sources The Hungarian Central Statistical Office published freely accessible statistical data on the population, including geographical distribution, age distribution, families’ constitution (number of parents, children, grandparents, or senior citizens), and statistical information of households. These data are based on the population censuses (conducted every ten years) and population micro-censuses. Detailed statistics are available on the Csongrád- Csanád County (NUTS Level 3) and Szeged District (NUTS Level 4 / LAU Level 1). The other significant source of data was the geographic distribution of residential locations of Szeged. The data was made available through the TEIR (information system for development purposes on settlements/areas) of the city municipality.

  • THE HOLY CROWN of HUNGARY, VISIBLE and INVISIBLE1 The
    CHAPTER ONE THE HOLY CROWN OF HUNGARY, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE1 The reader at this point will certainly ask: how it is possible that a national relic of such great signifijicance has never been properly examined in order to attain satisfactory conclusions [about its origin]. The answer is as contra- dictory as unexpected: precisely because such importance was attached to the crown; because it has been treated as the greatest national treasure. Kálmán Benda and Erik Fügedi on the Holy Crown2 The history of political ideas reveals continuities and unexpected revivals. Too frequently it proves premature to pronounce a political idea dead. A well-known example, which demonstrates that major political ideas hardly ever disappear without trace, has been the re-emergence of the natural law theory which had spent years in the doldrums while utilitari- anism dominated political philosophy in Britain and America.3 Ideas whose impact is more limited and confijined to a single national society could, likewise, unexpectedly revive after their apparent demise. When over forty years ago the present writer, working towards his DPhil in Oxford, took up the doctrine of the Holy Crown of Hungary, he thought that the subject was of purely historical interest, or at least one without any direct relevance to Hungarian politics, present and future. The reason why this assumption looked obvious at the time was not even 1 I am grateful to Professor János Bak (CEU, Budapest) for raising critical questions about the text, to Professor James Burns (UCL) for his point on Hegel’s influence, to Dr Lóránt Czigány (London) for his comments on my use of terms, to Professor R.
