  • Eger Bull's Blood Project (Heves)
    RENCOM – Workpackage 4 – Hungarian case studies: Eger Bull’s blood project Page 1 Eger Bull’s blood project (Heves) Winegrowers play a major rule in this county. Bull’s blood is one of the two most famous wines in Hungary (the other one is the „old Tokay” from the county next to Heves) which is grown in Eger, the capital city of Heves. After the transition in the early 90’s, many new small farmers have appeared on the hills of Eger, who try to produce Bull’s blood. At this time there wasn’t any approving method to control the quality of wines. This situation was very harmful for the wine-growers who tried to sell quality wines with high prices, and of course it was very harmful for the famous brand, „Bull’s blood”. But many small farmers produced red wine under the brand’s name “Bull’s blood”, whose quality were not suitable, and before the transition, in the foreign markets the brand became the synonym of a “moderate quality” Hungarian red wine, and these bottles abided on the bottom shelves of the supermarkets. Another problem also arose: Eger’s farmers can’t deal with each other if the Bull’s blood has to become the region’s dominant famed high quality wine or it should remain an in quantity produced and within easy reach market-leader red wine. We try to focus on a special network in which actors try to rebuild the brand of the wine in the Hungarian market as well as in the world market.

  • HUNGARIAN STUDIES YEARBOOK Digital Genealogy
    HUNGARIAN STUDIES YEARBOOK 2020 (II) DOI: 10.2478/HSY-2020–0006 Digital Genealogy From personal histories to settlements history1 Anna FENYVESI Institute of English and American Studies, University of Szeged, Hungary; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper demonstrates how methods of digital genealogy can be used to trace per- sonal histories in innovative ways to uncover potentially significant details of settle- ment history where information in historical sources is scarce. It uses the example of a mid-18th century Roman Catholic settler and his family in Szentes, a small town on the Great Hungarian Plain, at a time when mass migration into this region was happening from overpopulated regions of the Kingdom of Hungary. Records of the settlement history of the town are meagre at best, but this important aspect of social history can be supplemented through meticulous research into the Family Search genealogy database. Keywords: digital genealogy, migration, settlement history, Hungary, 18th century, Szentes. 1. Introduction The use of digital methodologies has opened up new perspectives in many branches of the humanities and social sciences, making possible research that would have been impossible previously. The same is true of genealogical research, which has become fundamentally transformed by the innovative means of researching in online databases, allowing keyword searches as well as access to vast repositories of records from a multitude of places all in the same database. 1 Dedicated to the memory of my grandmother, Erzsébet Aradi (1909–1996). I want to thank my colleagues at the University of Szeged, ethnographer László Mód, for his generous advice, suggestions, and help regarding ethnography in general and ethnographic literature in particular, as well as historian Hajnalka Tóth, for numerous discussions of 18th century Hungary in the past year and a half.

  • HUNGARY Hungary Is a Republic with a Population of Approximately 10
    HUNGARY Hungary is a republic with a population of approximately 10 million and a multiparty parliamentary democracy. Legislative authority is vested in the unicameral parliament (National Assembly). The National Assembly elects the head of state, the president, every five years. The president appoints a prime minister from the majority party or coalition. The National Assembly elections on April 11 and 25 were assessed as free and fair, with the conservative Fidesz- Christian Democrat (KDNP) coalition winning enough seats in the second round to achieve a two-thirds majority. Fidesz's prime ministerial candidate, Viktor Orban, took office on May 29. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. Human rights problems included police use of excessive force against suspects, particularly Roma; new restrictions on due process; new laws that expanded restrictions on speech and the types of media subject to government regulation; government corruption; societal violence against women and children; sexual harassment of women; and trafficking in persons. Other problems continued, including extremist violence and harsh rhetoric against ethnic and religious minority groups and discrimination against Roma in education, housing, employment, and access to social services. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were no reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings during the year. In December 2009 the Somogy County Military Prosecutor's Office pressed charges against 10 prison guards at the Kaposvar prison for causing the death of a pretrial detainee and physically assaulting nine other inmates in February 2009.

  • 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.

  • A BRIEF HISTORY of the JEWS in HEVES COUNTY, HUNGARY Copyright ©2009 Dr
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE JEWS IN HEVES COUNTY, HUNGARY Copyright ©2009 Dr. Ágnes (née SZEGÕ) ORBÁN, Tiszafüred, Hungary Funded, in part, by the "J. and O. Winter" Foundation INTRODUCTION This work is the result of one and half decades of research. The majority of the material is from Hungarian public collections in the Hungarian State Archives, the Archives of Heves County and the Archives of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County. Rememberances from interviews are included from the collective memories of Jewish and Christian families in and around Tiszafüred, Hungary. Until 1950, Tiszafüred was a part of Heves County. In 1995, I published some articles with this theme in a book titled: The History and Demography of the Jews in Tiszafüred. While researching the history for this thesis, I discovered a lot of history of the Jews in Heves County. Gratefully, my research efforts were funded, in part, by the "J. and O. Winter" Foundation. RESEARCH GOALS The primary goals of this research was to answer important questions regarding the role Jews played in the following areas: · Jewish immigration and settling in Heves county · Jewish modernization of Heves county · Jewish impact upon agriculture, industry, commerce, society and culture in Heves county · Jewish assimilation in Heves county · Jewish Holocaust history in Heves county RESEARCH Heves County lies on the border of the Northeastern Mountains and the Great Hungarian Plain. At the beginning of the 20th century its territory was 3.761 square kilometres (1452 square miles), the county included six districts, 133 settlements; two cities and four little towns, 255,345 inhabitants lived there.

  • Tourism Development in Hungary on the Example of the Northern Hungary Region
    FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA • ISSN 1336-6157 (hard copy) • ISSN 2454-1001 (online) TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN HUNGARY ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE NORTHERN HUNGARY REGION Zoltán BUJDOSÓ A*, Ádám GYURKÓ B, Béla BENKŐ C Received: May 6, 2019 | Revised: July 13, 2019 | Accepted: August 7, 2019 Paper No. 19-61/2-533 Abstract The current study’s topic is the summary of the results of a touristic core area impoundment whose target area is the region of Northern Hungary. The methodological basis of the research was given by the work of Antal Aubert and Géza Szabó who made a similar touristic impoundment along five parameter examinations. The matter of research is relevant as an investigation based on similar quantitative methods has not been made yet on the target area; moreover it consists of important results for the profession as the national tourism has evolved to a determining industry at a national economy level too. Based on what we read, it is essential to assert that which municipalities, areas are the region’s real touristic scenes. As the results of the research are numerical data, it enabled to set up a ranking between the emerging core areas and the touristic municipalities. On this basis, it can be determined that which areas are the most preferable tourist places. Further advantage of the quantification is that the study can conclude to the touristic fullness as well, knowing the potential of the given destinations, municipalities. This knowledge is of major importance in the basis of setting of objectives in touristic strategies. The current research, regarding the future, is an ideal starting point to know the region’s real tourism, and to compare with the already existing touristic zones, like for instance the priority holiday zones impoundment.

  • MARMOL RESEARCH BUDAPEST E-Mail: [email protected] Rate of Employment
    Jozefa Barreto – Szilvia Borbely „On the good track – Developing and adopting good examples for labour market integration and the enhancement of equal opportunities” Employment profile in the North Hungarian region Factors which influence the employment profile of the region 12.66% of the whole county’s population lives in this region, mostly in Borsod- Abaúj-Zemplén County, which is the third most inhabited county after the counties of the Central region. Nevertheless, Nógrád County is our less inhabited county. The region comprises distinctly developed areas. The centre of the region is Miskolc, but Eger, the region’s other big town is in a more favorable position. The third biggest town, Salgótarján is stagnating. North Hungary is the region the most severely touched by the transformation of the political system which caused the collapse of its industry and agriculture. Formerly, its GDP exceeded the national average but now it does not even reach the two-third of it. The DGP per capita in the North Hungary region was 404,000 Ft in 1995 (72% of the national value) and 1643 thousand Ft in 2008 (61% of the national value). Tiszaújváros and the Southern hill area is the small region with the highest income. The most underdeveloped are the small regions at the Slovakian border. The small region with the lowest income on a national level is also situated in this region. North Hungary is the least civic region, only half of the population lives in towns. This is mostly due to the economic underdevelopment. The region is characterized by a structure of small settlements.

We all want to live in an environmentally friendly way to the future generations, which will only succeed if we start the environmentally conscious life-time education now and for future generations. We have to take steps not only personally but overall also to help to realise why so important to form this environmental development. One way to use renewable forms lies that has even a rudimentary degree of utilization in many countries, including large parts of Hungary as well. Many people feel that they can do is out of proportion to what it can achieve, and this incorrect thinking the main obstacle in the spread of environmentally conscious approach. The aim of my research was that through the example of some settlements of Heves county renewable energy as environmentally conscious life education opportunities in the instruments of investigation. In my primary research I wanted to examine some settlements in Heves County how familiar are the people to the knowledge of renewable energy and how this can help as a tool for environmental education for life. Keywords: environmentally conscious lifestyle, environment-friendly, renewable energy, settlements JEL Classification: O13, P28, Q42, R11 1.

  • Housing Needs in Hungary
    Housing Needs in Hungary Commissioned by Habitat for Humanity Authors: József Hegedüs Orsolya Eszenyi Nóra Teller Contributor: Enikő Kiss-Molnár Metropolitan Research Institute May 2009 Executive Summary 1. The nature of social housing problems in Hungary has changed in the last twenty years and converged towards the European definition. Housing policies aim at providing adequate housing in terms of managing hardship of paying the housing cost for low-income households (affordability) and abandoning low quality (substandard) housing. Before the political transition, Hungarian housing policy discussed housing questions in terms of the „quantitative and qualitative housing shortage” paradigm. Quantitative housing shortage meant the difference between the number of households and the number of housing units, whereas qualitative housing shortage referred to the inadequacy of housing units in terms of size and of quality. Quantitative housing shortage (when the number of households exceeds the number of housing units) dominated in the socialist era, and housing policy strove to maximize the number of newly built housing units. From the second half of the 1980s demographic pressures eased, the rate of urban population growth declined and the aging of the society became a strong demographic factor which influenced housing demand. However, the social and economic changes after transition had contributed to changes of the housing situation: till 2000 households‟ income had decreased, state housing subsidies had been drastically cut, housing cost had increased dramatically, and housing investment plummeted. Providing social housing has become the task of the local governments, but without provision of adequate resources by the central government, thus local governments were interested in getting rid of their social housing stock.
