After drawing attention to some key points of the theoretical background of learning regions and resilience, we present the results of the statistical examination of the spatial centres of learning and identify the potential learning regions in Hungary. Finally we explain the main findings of case studies which indicated (if not proved) the connection between successful community learning and socioeconomic resiliency. The complex indicator and map of learning regions convey important messages about the conditions and potentials of the evolution of learning regions, learning cities and learning communities in Hungary including the area of regional resilience. Our hypothesis, therefore, is that learning regions in Hungary have the potential for becoming resilient regions as a consequence of the geographic, cultural and social proximity. The study offers evidence to confirm the role of the LeaRn Index set up for the Hungarian learning patterns in this process. Comparing the learning patterns of the Hungarian settlements with socioeconomic indicators allows us to conclude that those regions which are more open to learning have better economic indicators and well-being indexes. PREFACE The present study reconsiders the results of the LeaRn project, focusing on the potential contribution of learning regions to regional resilience. LeaRn ('Learning Regions in Hungary: From Theory to Reality' research project, supported by the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund, principal investigator: Prof. Dr. Tamás Kozma) was carried out between 2011 and 2015. The research was organized by the University of Debrecen, the Department of Andragogy and the Department of Pedagogy; besides the organizers, a number of other professional groups from other institutions at the University of Debrecen and the University of Pécs were also involved in the project. The structure of the study is as follows: the first chapter introduces the terms, drafts the history of learning regions in the research and development policy and draws attention to some key points of the theoretical background of learning regions and resilience. The second chapter presents the results of the statistical examination of the spatial centres of learning and identifies the potential learning regions in Hungary. The third chapter provides a summary of case studies (presenting four towns of the country) focusing on the relations between community learning and resilience.

Először ér-telmezzük ezt a kifejezést, majd előzményeket, példákat keresünk a mérésére. Végül bemutatjuk azokat a kezdeti eredményeket, amelyeket a társadalmi tanulás egy román– magyar határon átnyúló felderítő vizsgálatában elértünk. A társadalmi tanulás, az életet átfogó tanulás, valamint a tanuló városok és régiók kifejezések mind a hazai, mind a nemzetközi szakirodalomban meglehetősen tisztázatla-nok. Abban a sorendben mutatjuk be ezen kifejezéseket, amely sorrendben megjelentek, illetve visszavezetjük mindegyiket történeti és társadalmi kontextusaikra. A társadalmi tanulás kifejezést hazánkban leginkább Bandura (1977) munkásságához kötik, aki először fejtette ki ezt a koncepciót. Az egyéni viselkedést a környezeti hatások és az egyéni adottságok eredőjének tekintette, s a tanulást annak a közvetítőnek, amely-nek révén az egyéni viselkedés e két komponensbő...

A világ energiatermelésében ma még egyértelműen a fosszilis energiahordozók dominálnak (81%), a megújulók részesedése mindössze 14,1%-os volt 2014-ben. A megújuló energiaforrásokon belül a biomassza hasznosítása a legelterjedtebb, de ez főként a tűzifa elégetését jelenti, s jóval kisebb arányban találkozunk a korszerűbb, hatékonyabb felhasználási formákkal, mint például a biodízel, a bioetanol, vagy a biogáz hasznosításával. Bár a biogázból megtermelt energia mindössze 2%-át adja a biomasszából előállított energiának, ez a legdinamikusabban fejlődő ágazat, évi 10%-os növekedési ütemmel. Globális szinten 2000-ben 0,28 EJ volt a biogázból előállított elsődleges energia mennyisége, 2014-ben ez az érték az ötszörösére, 1,27 EJ-ra növekedett. A biogáz termelés alapanyagai igen változatosak lehetnek, sok országban a mezőgazdasági eredetű hulladékokból, melléktermékekből állítják elő a legtöbb biogázt, de egyes országokban a hulladéklerakókban keletkező depóniagáz, míg más országokban a szennyvíziszapokból felszabaduló, ún. szennyvíziszap gáz a legfontosabb biogáz forrás. A biogázt elsősorban villamos energia előállítására használják, a megtermelt hőenergia hasznosítása alárendelt szerepet játszik. A biogáz termelés súlypontja Európában van, ahol kiemelkedik Németország, Olaszország és az Egyesült Királyság. A kontinensek sorában Ázsia áll a 2. helyen, ahol Kína a legnagyobb termelő. Észak Amerika rendelkezik még számottevő termeléssel, a többi kontinensen egyelőre még nem terjedt el ez az energiatermelési forma.

The existing studies, however, mainly concentrate on the effects of the investments on the built-up areas, and less attention is paid to the analysis of the relationship between these facilities and the green areas. The primary objective of our—in this context pioneer—research is to analyse the role of the new stadium in the regeneration of one of the most important green areas in Debrecen (Hungary), in Central Europe. We explore the historical influences, the need to foster development and the most significant effects of the investment. Finally, we point out the relationship between the theoretical approaches and our case study in Debrecen.

In this spirit, the aim of this paper is to present the spatial distribution of sports facilities in a specific Hungarian sample area, the Észak-Alföld (Northern Great Plain) region, to point out the differences between settlements, as well as the reasons behind these differences. Data received from the local authorities and state administration bodies were used for the preparation of the study, which included the different sports facilities at the settlement level in addition to information found on the Internet. The following conclusions were drawn based on the research. First of all, it was found that the settlement size significantly influences the spatial distribution of sports facilities, inter alia...

Az éghajlat módosulásában több mint valószínű, hogy döntő szerepet játszik a szén-dioxid mennyiségének folyamatos növekedése (IPPC5 2018). Az Európai Unió és hazánk is már 2020-ra célul tűzte ki a CO2-kibocsátás mérséklését, ill. a megújuló energiaforrások fokozott felhasználását (NÉS 2.). Bár a megújuló energiák hasznosításának technikai háttere folyamatosan javul, emiatt ma már viszonylag kedvezőtlen természeti adottságok mellett is lehet gazdaságos az alternatív energiaforrások felhasználása, a beruházás megtérülési idejét még mindig igen jelentős mértékben befolyásolja az adott helyszín természeti potenciálja, pl. a napfénymennyiség, a geológiai és domborzati viszonyok, a növényfedettség stb. (Afonso et al., 2017). Társadalmi szempontból egyre határozottabb az az elvárás, hogy a helyi közösség vegyen részt az alternatív energiafélék hasznosításával kapcsolatos döntési folyamatban. A felelős részvételi tervezéshez a laikusok számára megfelelő információk kellenek, ami egy bonyolult és viszonylag lassú társadalmi tanulási folyamat során válik hiteles döntéshozást megalapozó viselkedési mintává (Fo

The current study approaches geography from an ethnographic perspective, focusing on topographic knowledge. In order to examine the amended documents that regulate public education since 2020 (the National Core Curriculum and the Framework Curriculum), as well as the textbook on ethnography published in 2021, the content analysis method was applied. The study presents how the maps in the textbook expand topographic knowledge and how that constructs the interdisciplinary character of ethnography. The aim is to point out what topographic names appear in the textbook and how this knowledge relates to both fields.

Nowadays, the number of tertiary (higher education) students enrolled outside their country of citizenship is an estimated 5 million (UNESCO, 2014). The highest number of international students is found in the countries of Europe, while the countries with high population number are the leading sources of international students (China, India). Following the millennium, Hungary enrolling more than 25 thousand international students was also marked on the map of international student mobility. The number of Hungarian students enrolled abroad was substantially below this value (8–9 thousand students), with target countries including Austria, Germany, Denmark and the United Kingdom. Debrecen in Northeast Hungary plays a specific role in the study-driven international migration of the Central European region. Year by year approximately 4 thousand international students are present in the higher education institutions of the city. The study-driven migrants may be divided into two distinct groups on the basis of their motivations (origins). The minorities living in the neighbouring countries have been represented by a stable one-third ratio (900 students) within the higher education students since the millennium. The other large group of international students (3100 students) is constituted by the university students from Europe, Asia and Africa taking advantage of the internationalisation of higher education. Approximately 80% of them are enrolled for the Health) as a result of the relatively cheap but high quality training. The increase in the number observed after the millennium has clearly stagnated in the case of the Hungarian minorities living in the neighbouring countries (due to demographic reasons, and extended opportunities for studying in their mother-tongue), while it has become more intensive in the case of the students coming from more distant countries. In our study, the diploma mobility and the students enrolled for partial trainings (Erasmus) are compared with respect to the University of Debrecen and the University of Oradea. The relationship systems of the two institutions are analysed from the aspect of cross-border co-operations.

Due to this development, social and cognitive changes have started, which motivates educators for methodological renewal. The intensity of implementation of this renewal may differ from school to school based on school type, the students’ grade and also the type of the settlement. It is important to have an overview of the methodology used by Geography teachers, from which we can gain an insight into the influential role of these factors. Several studies have shown that the more years teachers spend in public education, the less they deviate from their own methods and regular teaching habits(Kojanitz, 2019). In the present survey – which undertook to crawl the methodological tools of colleagues teaching Geography – an online questionnaire was used in order to reach teachers in several levels of settlement hierarchy, schooltype and ensure countrywide territorial coverage. In additio...
