SOUTHERN TRANSDANUBIA © Lonelyplanetpublications Szárd Andvillány Withouttastingthelocal Vintages Wouldbecriminal © Lonely Planet Publications 280 Southern Transdanubia SOUTHERN TRANSDANUBIA Southern Transdanubia (Dél-Dunántúl) is a region of calm, a place to savour life at a slower pace. It’s only marginally touched by tourism, and touring through the countryside is like stepping back in time. The whitewashed farmhouses you’ll pass, with thatched roofs and long colonnaded porticoes decorated with floral patterns and plasterwork, haven’t changed in centuries. This region has never been as important industrially as Western Transdanubia. It is thickly settled with small villages, and agriculture remains the mainstay for most people – from the fruit orchards of the Zselic region south of Kaposvár and the almonds of Pécs to the wines of Szekszárd and Villány-Siklós. The pleasant, almost Mediterranean climate helps: spring arrives early, summer is long, winter mild. Southern Transdanubia has a lot to offer travellers. Top of the pops is Pécs. Art museums and theatres abound in a place that has been named a European Capital of Culture in 2010, and history is very much alive here. More Roman and early Christian tombs than you can shake a shovel at have been uncovered near the city’s basilica, and a number of Turkish monuments have survived. Many other towns here are worth visiting as well. Imposing castles dominate Siklós and Szigetvár, you can take advantage of curative thermal waters at Harkány, and visiting Szek- szárd and Villány without tasting the local vintages would be criminal.

  • Social and Natural Opportunities for the Renewable Energy Utilization in the Koppany Valley Development Area
    Social and Natural Opportunities for the Renewable Energy Utilization in the Koppany Valley Development Area Alexander Titov Kaposvar University, Faculty of Economic Science, Hungary [email protected] Kinga Szabó Kaposvar University, Faculty of Economic Science, Hungary [email protected] Bernadett Horváthné Kovács Kaposvar University, Faculty of Economic Science, Hungary [email protected] Abstract. Koppany Valley is located in one of the most underdeveloped Hungarian territories considering serious economic, social and infrastructural issues. Despite this fact, there is significant potential regarding the green energy sector if taking into account essential amount of local raw bio- material production. The estimated theoretical potential of biomass in the area is substantial, although however it is complicated to realise due to the social barriers such as lack of knowledge and low level of awareness regarding renewables among the local stakeholders. During 16 months of our research the most important social, economic and biomass production data of the examined settlements were collected primarily as well as secondary statistical data. Three hundred questionnaires were distributed in 10 rural settlements of the tested micro region. It was concentrated to three main parts of questions: general information about respondents (background information), awareness regarding renewable energy and different types of sources and a separate block considered biomass data specifically. In the questionnaire mostly Likert scale and multiple choice questions were applied. The study of social and natural opportunities for the renewable energy utilization helps to determine local economic circumstances by describing the social environment of the Koppany Valley. The main factors affecting public behavior towards local sustainable energy improvement were investigated.

    Modern Economy, 2014, 5, 1107-1113 Published Online November 2014 in SciRes. http://www.scirp.org/journal/me http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/me.2014.512102 The Regional Competitiveness of Hungary Lu Huang1, Sezgin Hergül2 1Department of Business Administration, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China 2Department of International Business, Poznan University of Economics, Poznan, Poland Email: [email protected] Received 19 September 2014; revised 24 October 2014; accepted 7 November 2014 Copyright © 2014 by authors and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract This Report focuses on the regional competitiveness analysis of Hungary. Eight aspects are taken into consideration, which are Economics, Education and Learning, Innovation, Labor Market Effi- ciency, Infrastructure, Health, Farm, Environment Protection and Crimes. The final results show that Közép-Magyarország (Central Hungary) is the most competitive region which gets 68.46, while Észak Magyaroszág (Northern Hungary) which scored 24.23 is the least competitive region. Cultural and heritage, natural features, higher stage of urban/economic development, R & D sector and high level business services are the main advantages of Közép-Magyarország (Central Hun- gary). However, for the least competitiveness region Észak Magyaroszág (Northern Hungary), more attention should be paid to infrastructure construction, labor mobility, institution efficiency, promotion of innovation, business environment, improvement of education and health and envi- ronment protection. Keywords Regional Competitiveness, Hungary 1. Introduction In economic life and beyond, competition is one of the most fundamental sources of mobilization and creativity and it has immense impact on regional development and growth.
