Peculiarities in the process of urbanization on the Great Hungarian Plain in Geographical essays in Hungary.
The main characteristics of urbanization on the Great Plain are due to the relative backwardness and belated development of the region. It is not only a matter of temporal lag, however, as the Great Plain does not follow the course of progress found

The office profile of specific urban districts is investigated from the points of view of certain aspects of functional structure of offices and face-to-face contacts by office employees. A comparative study is made of five cities in the Netherlands
