A lakóhelyi szuburbanizáció hatásainak vidékszociológiai vizsgálata Deszken

Abstract

The suburbanization processes that emerged from the 90s in Hungary had a significant impact on the socio-economic situation and development of the settlements concerned. Under suburbanization, a specific rural space is created where urban and rural functions are mixed and collided. In our study, we examined the elements and the main characteristics of this particular rural space in the mirror of residential suburbanization, in the example of Deszk belonging to the metropolitan area of Szeged. Our aim was to examine the characteristics of the rural space in two parts of the settlement of Deszk, which made it possible to analyze the effects of suburbanization. Based on the approach of constructivist rural sociology, we studied the characteristics of locality, representation of rural and everyday life of the inhabitants. Based on the research it can be stated that the suburbanization has changed and transformed the characteristics of rural space, usage of space, local society, everyday life and representation of rural.
