Living with the Void
Urban emptiness is a recurring spatial condition across contemporary cities, resulting from long-term planning decisions, functional transformations, and shifting socio-economic dynamics. Urban voids are often interpreted as signs of failure or neglect; however, they also represent flexible and open-ended spaces embedded within everyday urban environments. This study develops and tests the Adaptive Void Assessment Framework (AVAF), a five-dimensi…
Green, Grey, and Empty
Urban green spaces of collective housing are more than a passive background: they are living records of how cities have understood the relationship between housing, nature, and society. In many parts of Central and Eastern Europe, particularly within housing estates built in the late 20th century, these green spaces were carefully planned as part of a larger ideological, spatial, and social framework. Today, however, their original functions are …
Unlocking the Potential of Forgotten Spaces
Forgotten spaces, often referred to as lost spaces or non-places, represent a crucial challenge in contemporary urbanism and sustainable urban development. They are underdeveloped and undesirable urban areas that are in urgent need of rethinking, replanning, and redesign. They are mostly undefined, lacking measurable boundaries and communication routes. These natural areas are usually neglected and underutilized, which leads to their insufficient…
A kárpátaljai görögkatolikusok népességföldrajzi mutatói a Munkácsi Görögkatolikus Egyházmegye 2022-es sematizmusa alapján
Ukrajna népességének vallási szerkezete mindig is számos kérdést vetett fel, nem kivétel ez alól Kárpátalja sem. A szovjet időszak kezdetétől hiányoznak pontos és használható adatok a felekezeti összetétellel kapcsolatban és a független Ukrajnában eddig első és egyetlen népszámlálás során sem volt lekérdezve a népesség vallásossága és vallási hovatartozása. Az adott homály eloszlására számos kutató készített különböző megítélésben részesült becsl…
A Covid-19 hatása a magyar idegenforgalmi vállalkozók turisztikai tevékenységére Kárpátalján
A 2014-es kelet-ukrajnai fegyveres konfliktus negatív hatásait követően Ukrajna turizmusa ismét a fejlődés útjára lépett. A turisztikai forgalom növekedése azonban nem tartott sokáig, a Covid-19 világjárvány Ukrajnát is gyorsan elérte, majd 2022 elején kirobbant az orosz-ukrán háború. Ez utóbbi hatásainak vizsgálatára jelen kutatás nem tért ki. A pandémia a világ országaiban kihatással volt az emberek életének minden területére, de legnagyobb mér…
Investigation of Environmental Determinants for Agritourism Development in Almaty Region of Kazakhstan
This study aims to comprehend relations between environmental determinants and agritourism by example of the Almaty region of Kazakhstan. As a basis for the research of this specific content the representation about agrarian recreational-tourist complexes (ARTCs) was developed and applied (ARTCs are special territorial and intersectoral integrities which largely depend on environmental determinants). Agritourism development is presented as the mo…
Emerging mediaeval heritage
The investigation of a 8.1 m long peat sequence from Tăul fără fund (“Bottomless Lake,” Transylvanian Basin, Northern Romania) offers a series representing wetland development since the Middle Holocene. The most striking feature of the sequence is a cca. 900 year-long hiatus caused by peatcutting in the 14 th century AD. An artificial reservoir was constructed there in the Late Middle Ages by the excavation of the uppermost peat layer, afflicting…
Low socioeconomic position is a risk factor for delay to treatment and mortality of testicular cancer patients in Hungary, a prospective study
Based on our result, we conclude that to improve survival, we should promote testicular cancer awareness, especially among the most deprived populations, and their health care providers
Social Context of Late Medieval and Early Modern Deforestation Periods in the Apuseni Mountains (Romania) based on an Integrated Evaluation of Historical and Paleobotanical Records
Coeval changes in the reconstructed bog surface wetness and the pollen record of a peat sequence extracted from an ombrothropic bog (Calul de Piatră, 1630 m, Apuseni Mountains) allowed the natural and anthropogenic environmental changes over the past 1500 years to be assessed. The assessment of the social and economic context was also possible due to the exceptionally detailed documentary evidence of the investigated region. Four major deforestat…
Relict Anthropogenic Ecosystem from the Middle Ages
A paleoecological study was performed on a sediment core recovered from a former artificial lake – the Reedbed of Sic near Cluj-Napoca, Romania – in order to explore the history of water management and nearby salt mining, and its impact on the environment. From the Roman period, the area served as a recipient of salty wastewaters. The most significant shift in the sediment composition and macrofossil assemblages took place after 1000 AD, suggesti…
Changing Patterns of Allotment Gardening in the Czech Republic and Slovakia
Allotment gardens have played a significant role in Czech and Slovak society for decades, building upon a rich history of gardening. This article elaborates on Czech and Slovak allotments in the European context and identifies their core functions, services, and benefits. We provide a thorough historical review of allotments in this region, reaching back to the eighteenth century to trace significant periods and historic events that shaped societ…
The environmental history of a former salt town in Transylvania (Sic, Northern Romania)
The medieval market-town of Sic (Szék in Hungarian) was an important Transylvanian settlement due to its remarkable salt mining. The impact of the mining activities on the environment and the history of water management were investigated based on a palaeoecological study, performed on the large Reedbed of Sic (Stufărişurile/Nádas-tó). We found that in the last 3000 years the anthropogenic impact has been continuous in the territory, but the types…
Hungary after 1989
Since the fall of the Communist government in 1989, Hungary's political monuments and historical shrines have undergone great change. Although popular attention focused on the removal of overtly political monuments, new shrines were also created, and forgotten memorials were restored. In a departure from earlier political eras, decisions about contested places are issuing from local authorities and private citizens, rather than from the central g…
