This paper is a case study on the social geographical pattern of Sarród, a small Hungarian village in NW Transdanubia. Analysis is based on socio-economic data of the population collected through a questionaire survey in summer 1995. Beside others
Flash floods are increasingly frequent natural hazards in Southern Transdanubia, SW Hungary. Record precipitation values in Hungary in May and June, 2010, underline the importance of the modelling of the extension of inundations and the prediction
of flood events. The paper summarizes the concept of flash floods from hydrological and meteorological approaches and shows an example for the application of rapid screening, GIS and numerical modelling in Southern Transdanubia. - (AM)

The author investigates the spatial structure and urban development of Pápa a middle sized Hungarian town in north western Transdanubia. Because of its civic cultural and clerical traditions Pápa used to belong to those Hungarian towns which were
The physical geographical conditions of Southern Transdanubia do not present major obstacles to transport. An economic geographical analysis shows that demands for transportation have been considerable but show a declining trend. Developing tourism
The main aim of this paper is to reveal the importance and the natural and economic background of water tourism in Hungary, especially focusing on South Transdanubia as a case study. After the introduction of tourism and its general importance
The following urban land cover classes are distinguished from the CCT Landsat data of Transdanubia for April 1st, 1976: urban commercial and residential| urban industrial| urban up-to-date residential| suburban| rangeland| waters| forest| parks
Authors intend top present a complete picture on social-environmental interactions. In Southern Transdanubia human intervention into the geomorphic processes is decisive, hydrological, atmospheric and pedological changes are easily measurable
Research into the man-induced effects on the particular geospheres in the Mecsek Mountains and its environs in Southeast-Transdanubia date back to the mid-1960s. Observations show that flood control measures may lead to dangerous changes
Mining activities in the North Hungarian Mountains, similar to the extraction of dye earth at Lovas in Transdanubia, started with the flint mining by the Early man in pre historic times, during the Pleistocene e.g. at the Avas Hill, Miskolc
The area of Western Transdanubia can be distinguished as different from its surroundings. This paper covers the spatial concentration of population from the aspect of urbanisation. The regional differences here were partly motivated by the free land
. There were apparently phases in the formation of the alluvial fan when on certain parts flooding was replaced by eolian processes. The seventh drilling (at Janoshalma) proves that this region constitutes the continuation of Transdanubia and does not belong
