  • RES INTEGRATION CONCEPT PAPER D5.1 – Final Version
    GeoCom – FP7 CONCERTO – 239515 RES INTEGRATION CONCEPT PAPER D5.1 – Final version WP Leader: P9 – University of Szeged. Key Contributors: P1, P2, P8 2012 GEOCOM WP5 - Technological Research / WP5.1 Integration with other RES The main scope of this sub-WP has been to outline ways of integrating geothermal energy in energy systems in Central-Eastern Europe. In this WP available experience of integrating geothermal energy into a cascaded facility with a view to environmental improvements and extending the utilization time and spectrum of uses of such facilities has been be studied. Researchers at the University of Szeged looked at the economic and environmental factors of geothermal systems operating in the South Great Plain Region, outlined potential project sites and developed a number of project plans presented here in brief. We collected data from GeoCom project partners too regarding utilization in other CEE countries. This volume presents the first concise study of actual and potential geothermal projects in the South Great Plain of Hungary, with project concepts developed entirely by our researchers and contracted experts. Our work is complemented by data provided by our partners from Serbia, Slovakia, FYROM and Poland. As projects in renewable energy use differ greatly from one-another we did not intend to formulate general conclusions regarding economic or environmental factors of RES integration. Rather, we present the RE potential of the target region, showcase our development proposals, and provide a tool (GIS model) to assist future project development. As stated in Annex 1 the main scope of this sub-WP has been to outline ways of integrating geothermal sources in energy systems, including those with other RES.

  • Regional Differences in Hungary: the Current Stage of Local Food Production at the County-Level
    Regional differences in Hungary: the current stage of local food production at the county-level ZSÓFIA BENEDEK1,$, BÁLINT BALÁZS2 1: Institute of Economics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary 2: Environmental Social Science Research Group, Hungary $: corresponding author. E-mail address: [email protected] Paper prepared for presentation for the 142nd EAAE Seminar Growing Success? Agriculture and rural development in an enlarged EU May 29-30, 2014 Corvinus University of Budapest Budapest, Hungary Copyright 2014 by Zsófia Benedek and Bálint Balázs. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. 1 Abstract There is an increasing political interest in Hungary to relocalize food. Previous achievements on the Food Relocalization Index (Ricketts Hein et al., 2006) is used and applied to Hungary to map the local food activity. We focus on different indicators of production to consider the extent of small-scale food-related activity. Biophysical limits (the ratio of agricultural areas) are also considered to reveal areas where funds can be allocated to ensure efficiency. Eastern Hungary has the highest potential for further development as it has relatively high level of food activity and food production capacity. Keywords: short food supply chains; small-scale farmers; regional differences; Rural Development Program; quantitative analysis Introduction In the last years a rapid spread of short food supply chains (SFSCs) was witnessed; and also, an increasing political interest to relocalize food. The latest EU study describing the state-of- the-art of SFSCs in the EU understands them as food chains where the number of intermediaries (most typically retailers) is minimized (ideally to zero); and food production, processing, trade and retail occur within a particular narrowly defined geographical area (Kneafsey et al., 2013).

Abstract The relationship between magyarization and Hungarian civil society during the reform era of Hungarian history (1790-1848) is the subject of this dissertation. This thesis examines the cultural and political activities of three liberal oppositional nobles: András Fáy (1786-1864), István Bezerédj (1796-1856) and Ödön Beöthy (1796-1854). These three men were chosen as the basis of this study because of their commitment to a two- pronged approach to politics: they advocated greater cultural magyarization in the multiethnic Hungarian Kingdom and campaigned to extend the protection of the Hungarian constitution to segments of the non-aristocratic portion of the Hungarian population.

  • Recent Aspects of the Development of the Hungarian Settlement Network Within the European Structure
    RECENT ASPECTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HUNGARIAN SETTLEMENT NETWORK WITHIN THE EUROPEAN STRUCTURE After Settlement History and Theory Investigations hy Dr. Jeno I1Iajor R. NYITR.4..Y Department of Town Planning, Technical University of Budapest, H-1521 Received: November 10. 1989 Presented by: Prof. Dr. Tam~ls }!egyesi Ahstract Due to investigations by Dr. J cno Major on settlement history and theory, main trends of Hungarian urbanization and settlement network development offer an insight into the de­ velopment of European settlement network. His partly archival - research results underly­ ing settlement science methodology are without precedence. It is attempted to fit development aspects of the Hungarian settlement network to the new regional structures of the to-be Unit­ ed States of Europe. A survey is given of the rapid urbanization process in Hungary after the Mongol invasion, of periods of mediaeval urbanization surges, as well as of the settlement net­ work of industrializing-capitalizing Hungary. Inter-war settlement development, and urbanization surge after World War II point to he intensity of relations between town aud country. Dr. Jeno Major has published his study on thc bcginnings of thc dcyelop­ mcnt of Hungarian towns and settlement net,\'ork* with the intcntion to soon report on his latest findings. His available manuscripts probabilize this intention. But his unforesecn decease interrupted the puhlication of his recognitions from the examination of 11th-12th-century markets and "mar­ ketplaces" . His theoretical statements on these factors to he determinant permit to disclose regions of settlement groups functionally coherent with the market­ places, as well as their structural features.

  • Preliminary Report on the Research of Early Holocene Period in the Nwpart of Great Hungarian Plain KERTÉSZ Róbert Damjanich János Múzeum, Szolnok
    Fol. Hist.-nat. Mus. Matr., 16: 29-44, 1991 Preliminary report on the research of Early Holocene period in the NWpart of Great Hungarian Plain KERTÉSZ Róbert Damjanich János Múzeum, Szolnok ABSTRACT? In this paper the author publishes a material collected from the surface during a field survey at Jászberény I, a recently discovered Mesolithic site in the Zagyva basin in the NW part of the Great Hungarian Plain. This microlithic industry belonging to the Late Mesolithic period may throw a new light upon the Early Holocene history of the above-mentioned region. On the basis of the assemblage of typical implements found at Jászberény I the theory of a hiatus between the Paleolithic and the Neolithic in Hungary can be rejected. This site makes us to suppose that even the Great Hungarian Plain participated with equal importance in those processes which took plane in the marginal areas of the Carpathian Basin at the end of the Boreal an at the beginning of the Atlantic period. PREFACE In spite of continuously made intensive topographic surveys in the country the Hungarian Mesolithic could be defined with great difficulties. The emergence of hypotheses often contradictory to each other, the pros and cons on the question of cultural continuity and general uncertainty itself in this matter are due first of all to the fact that this period is represented mostly by less charac­ teristic find assemblages originated usually from surface collection therefore lacking stratigraphie data. The dating of these finds is different also because at certain sites prehistoric pottery was found together with the chipped stone implements.

Gortyna borelii Pierret, 1837 {leucographa auct., nee Borkhausen) is an extremely local species, but has a very wide distribution. It is known from England (one locality only), France (Seine-et-Oise, the nominotypical form, Charente, Cher, Deux-Sevres), Spain (Catalonia : Baells, Valada), W. Germany (Baden-Württemberg, Nassau, Pfalz), E. Germany (Thüringen, Leipzig, Halle), Poland, the Carpathian Basin and S.W. Siberia. Unfortuna- tely, many of the European populations have already disappeared. Popula- tions in Central Europe are referrable to ssp. lunata Freyer, 1839, which is larger than the nominate subspecies. In this note, the distribution of lunata and its foodplants in the Carpathian Basin is discussed. I. The foodplants of G. borelii lunata Frr. in the Carpathian Basin. Clearly, populations of the moth can only occur where the foodplants occur and so, first, the known distributions of the foodplants are presented. For the Carpathians and Carpathian Basin, three species are mentioned in the literature and a fourth is discussed here. 1. Peucedanum longifolium L. : Grows only on limestone. Occurs on the Balkan Peninsula, but also in the Carpathian Basin and the Southern Carpathians (Kazan Gorge, Mehadia, Bâile Herculane, Cserna Valley) up to about 1000 m. This is the only known foodplant of the highest occurring European borelii population, of the Domogled, a mountain near Mehadia (F.

Having studied in England, he returned to Hungary in 1884. By 1886, he had developed a plan, titled “Budapest Stream Tramway Network”, laying down the groundwork for an advanced track-based transport system.
