Magyarország településeinek kedvezőtlen népesedési folyamatai

Absztrakt

My research is about the change of population in settlements, counties and regions of Hungary. The analysed period is between 1990 and 2013. I have reviewed the population change and defined in every administrative level the units where the population decreased drastically. We can notice regional differences in population during the analysed period. Combined effect of several factors determines the location of those regional differences. The rapidly shrinking settlements were given much attendance and I tried to find reasons for the processses. I made groups from the settlements based on the population change. I analysed the settlements by geographical location too. I also examined the population change by the legal status of settlements of Hungary. While the urban population decreases the rural population increases, based on the data, This shows a typical suburbanization process in the region of major cities.
