  2. The main aim of this lecture • is to answer the question whether there is the connection • between the Hungarian regional development and • well-being issues. • The issue is important because of the current European • (and Hungarian) spatial- social problems (inequalities, • increasing poverty, exclusion) To realise this objective it is necessary : • to present the spatial –social structures of Hungary, • to analyse the connections between the characteristics • of socio-spatial structures and the well-being levels of • the Hungarian population.

  3. Human well-beingindicators Onthebases of the Stiglitz-Sen-Fitoussi Commission Reporton the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress

  4. Lexicology of well-being • The GDP data are not sufficient to express the social • development, • New measurement tools are necessary, including • the social well-being, • social progress, • the sustainability.

  5. Territorial division of Hungary There are 7 statistical regions – according to the European Union nomenclature system (NUTS 2 level) – in Hungary. Each of them is divided into 3 administrative regions, counties. The total number of them is 19 + the capital city, Budapest, having special status.

  8. Regional inequalities in Hungary Regional inequalities in Hungary have three main dimensions: - the dualism between Budapest and the countryside - macroregional - West-East - inequalities - differences on micro level (microregions, urban-rural)

  13. Interregional and intraregional disparities • Explanation to interregional and intraregional • disparities: • economic disparities, • unjust redistributive system, • unfavourable employment positions, • impeded availability to education and health services, • unequal access to health-relatied services, • unequality in terms of maintenance opportunities to • better life conditions, • maleficient living and dwelling circumstances, • low chance to healthy and balanced life, • compare to other nations: unfavourable well-being • conditions

  15. Populationdensity and urbanpopulation 2011 urban rural The Population density of Hungary is 107 (capita per square kilometer) with a global rank of 85. The most sparsely populated county of Somogy (52 km2), the most densely populated and Budapest (3314 km2). The proportion of urban population is 70%

  25. Conclusions • Vast majority of Hungary considered as the rural, mainly underdeveloped area, with law level of well-being; • Metropolitan centres represent development islands (isolatums) in Hungarian rural area. • Concerning 3160 Hungarian settlements, the big cities belong to most developed and rapidly improving areas; • Intra-country level: apparent and sharp differences between socio-economically developed, secure, prestigeous big cities and diverged, segregated settlements characterised by low-strata population. • Economic wellfare has influence on local state of well being;
