„Visszatérni vidékre” a vidéki élet kvantitatív és kvalitatív megközelítésben

Abstract

Nowadays, one of the most interesting parts of sociology is the research of the rural areas’ specific features. Within these studies the rural areas ability for survival and to retain forms an important basis. A basic pillar of these, that the youth from these areas become sufficiently motivated to return to their rural homeland after finishing their studies and be able to redound the local social and economic development. The motives behind that are really diverse, including the need for job, environmental, social or even leisure time, sport-related necessities. Young generations are fleeing to large cities and in medium or long term it leads to the decay of these involved settlements; in worst case scenario the results can be irreversible. In the course of our research, we wanted to investigate, that what is the reason that university students, who are studying in large cities don’t want to return or move to rural areas. Furthermore, we tried to give a view about their opinions of rural areas and the life in the countryside.
