Tibor Mendöl was founder of the Hungarian settlement geography and professor of Budapest University in the middle of the 20th century. He did research about the internal functional and morphological structure of Hungarian towns, and the development
of the national settlement system. This paper provides an overview about his life - work and impact on the development of Hungarian geography in the 20th century. - (JS)

Agrarian towns are dominant elements of the settlement system on the Great Hungarian Plain. In this study, A. discusses the main features of the so-called Great Plain development paths which resulted a settlement system completely different from
other parts of Hungary, due to the peculiarities of the economic and social development of the region. In the analysis early works of Mendöl and other well-known settlement geographers are reviewed and extended. - (JS)

settlements. Mendöl named this famous and often debated method functional-morphology. In this system small scale functional elements were classified and amalgamated into functional groupes, which constitued the different urban zones within cities. Linking
urban morphology and functional pattern with the paradigm of human ecology was a revolutionary step forward in settlement geography. - (JS)
This study reviews the aims, methods and trends of settlement geography focusing on the internal structures of settlements in Hungary. The theoretical and methodological development of the discipline streches from morphological predominance
The approaches of regional plans for the quantitative control of the further growth of settlement areas are usually based on planning elements related to settlement structure. Additionally, however, control impacts can be reached with the set
interests. Particularly the planning element regional green belt is suitable to influence settlement development effectively. - (IFL)
The present study is an attempt to outline the role of natural factors (with a special reference to floods) played in the emergence and evolution of settlement network as a whole and in the variation of the pattern of built-up areas within
the individual settlements. A common feature of the five sample villages selected is that they had been damaged considerably during some of the great floods of the past decades. The conclusion of the investigation is that the safety of the Upper Tisza Region from
