    Role of rain gardens in stormwater management (Kecskemét, Hungary)
    (Biotehniški center, Naklo, 2024) Hoyk, Edit; Szórát, Krisztián; Farkas, Jenő Zsolt; Pogorelec, Andrej; Zorman, Tina; Zupančič, Andreja; Grčar, Manca
    Today, urban climate adaptation is unthinkable without green and blue infrastructure. This includes the development of an urban stormwater management system, one element of which is rain garden. In our work, we investigated the potential of rain gardens in Kecskemét, one of Hungary’s most populous cities, which is particularly vulnerable to drought. These low impact developments can help to effectively counter the negative effects of climate change, such as urban flash floods. We have developed an experimental rain garden which can collect rainwater from the roof of a family house. We planted it with some plants with different tolerances to prevent run-off. We also selected a critical point in the city of Kecskemét, where flash flooding during heavy rainfall is a problem. We examined the possibility of converting available green spaces into rain gardens to retain rainwater collected at the lowest point of the area as efficiently as possible. To do this, we used the QGIS (Quantum Geographic Information System) to analyze the different sectors, the topography and slope, and the typical runoff direction. The aim of our study was to determine how much amount of the rainfall could be retained and stored temporarily by converting the green areas of the sample area into rain gardens.

    Regional inflation rate differentials: potential causes, and evidences from the euro area and Hungary
    (Slovak Academy of Sciences, 2010) Zsibók, Zsuzsanna; Workie, Tiruneh M; Radvansky, M
    The focus of our research is on the spatial heterogeneities in the observed inflation rates within a currency union. We examine what are the characteristics of the regional monetary heterogeneities across the euro zone countries and across the Hungarian regions. Our study provides a detailed description of the potential factors that cause divergent inflation rates within a currency union. Then, we present the empirical results from the literature concerning the underlying reasons for the observed inflation differentials between the euro zone countries. In Hungary significant regional inflation heterogeneities were reported in empirical works, therefore we try to assess the possible reasons behind these differentials and compare our results to those observed in the euro area. The basis of our analysis is a disaggregated data set which contains store-level price quotes at a monthly frequency. This data set is complemented by other relevant macroeconomic variables measured at the county-level.

    What future for Hungary after the Covid-19 outbreak?
    (Coimbra University Press, 2022) Horeczki, Réka
    Major economic, natural and social shocks always bring new insights to regions as well, which call for new directions for development activities and related actions. The Covid-19 epidemic broke out, swept across the world in 2019, and has radically transformed almost every aspect of life. The change in meaning caused by the Covid-19 has also affected the rhetoric of countries and their role in the European Union. Isolationist processes have slowed down and fragmented integration into the EU. In this challenging period, we again witness a shift in the role of rural space (shelter, safe place) and its changing interpretation and also the reversal of negative connotations associated with the countryside: loneliness, self-sufficiency, distance. Therefore, the study focuses on the factors that have the potential to further enhance these positive values, and do not increase the resilience of rural areas.
