Author analyses the recent development tendencies of towns and scattered farmsteads (tanyas) in the agricultural region of Great Hungarian Plain. Population dynamics, rural-urban migration and employment structures are investigated by settlement
types. Due to alterations in the occupational structure and in other characteristics of towns the internal structure of these settlements has also been modified. Most of them still retain morphological features typical of market towns, there has been
a trend of increasing segregation based on social groups. Similar change has taken place in the outskirts of towns, where tanyas are located. - (JS)
