  • Regional Comparison of Farms on the Basis of the Fadn Database
    REGIONAL COMPARISON OF FARMS ON THE BASIS OF THE FADN DATABASE PESTI, CSABA - KESZTHELYI, KRISZTIÁN - Dr. TÓTH, TAMÁS SUMMARY The territorial structure of Hungarian farms was investigated. The results obtained proved once again that Hungarian farms cannot be dealt with in a uni­ form way, because the differences between regions they take place in require dif­ ferent approach. According to the results obtained so far the three Transdanubian regions lo­ cated in Transdanubia, the western part of Hungary, are more or less equal in respect of farm size, labour productivity, and profitability. Therefore it is recom­ mended to treat these regions in agricultural policy as a uniform system. The efficiency of farms in the regions of Northern Hungary and Northern Great Plain is lower as compared to other regions. Therefore it is recommended to support alternative measures aimed at the improvement of labour productivity in these regions. The region of Central Hungary also requires a different system of subsidies: here, horticulture producing higher value added should he supported to a greater extent in order to enable the farmers of the region to compete with imported goods and meet the changing demands of consumers. Although the present research is in its initial stage, it enabled several conse­ quences to be drawn, naturally without completeness. Therefore in the future it will be extended to several additional fields, such as the examination of farming co­ operatives, or a deeper investigation of livestock and crop farming. Research will be completed also by a number of statistical methods, e. g. deviation, correlation, including the simultaneous evaluation of non-agricultural economic indices, since agriculture is largely influenced by the general development of a region.

Although the further spread of photovoltaic systems, which make use of this source of energy, is expected in the future all around the world, no comprehensive investigation has been conducted into the current situation of the small-scale photovoltaic power plants in Hungary, where this type of photovoltaic system is the most popular. By means of a case study, whose novelty lies in its focus on small-scale power plants and their complex examination, including economic and geographic indicators, this paper analyzes their status in Hungary. The study endeavors to establish the reasons for the popularity of this type of power plant and to identify some typical geographical locations with well-illustrated photovoltaic density.

  • Developments Related to Tourism and Their Effects in Debrecen Following the Turn of the Millennium (Northern Great Plain Region, Hungary) Success Or Failure?
    TURIZAM Volume 17, Issue 2 71-83 (2013) Developments Related to Tourism and Their Effects in Debrecen Following the Turn of the Millennium (Northern Great Plain Region, Hungary) Success Or Failure? Mária Vasvári, Katalin Martonné Erdős, Richárd Molnár* Received: Aprile 2013 | Accepted: May 2013 Abstract The present paper focuses on the developments related to tourism and their effects in Debrecen, the largest city in the Northern Great Plain Region most of all in the time period after the country joining the European Union. The tourist industrial development regarding the infrastructure and suprastruc- ture in Debrecen are presented. These developed further the traditionally popular attractions (Great Forest) of the city. Relationship between the demand and reception conditions are described reflect- ing statistic data and the role of Debrecen in the market is analysed in relation to several other greater towns of the country. Data reveal that the number of visitors did not increase despite the developments related to tourism in the years following the turn of the millennium, even so it decreased after 2008 similarly to other greater towns of the country. Our questionnaire survey performed among the inhabitants and visitors as well revealed that the real- ized investments and the produced new attractions have only a slight role in attracting the target- audi ence. Still the traditionally popular attractions attract most of the visitors to Debrecen therefore the most important task for the leaders of the Debrecen-Hortobágy Tourism Destination Management founded in 2010 is to propagate the new attraction elements. Key words: Debrecen (Hungary), urban tourism, tourism developments, tourists’ and local resi- dents’ attitude, development opportunities Introduction Towns are specific destinations.

The Hungarian city has set itself up to attract innovative companies, creating new urban values such as education-based innovation, a high-quality urban environment and a lively cultural sphere. Here’s how a “secondary city” builds on its industrial past even as it breaks away from its dependence on it. Győr is a Hungarian “secondary city” close to Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest. These three capital cities attract most of the development potential in the area, making it difficult for smaller cities such as Győr to attract the headquarters of international companies or to develop large-scale new urban areas. Győr’s response has been to focus on “smart specialisation” in line with its broader innovation-based development concept.

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.
