“…Regional inequalities -as demonstrated by taxable income, for example -have typically decreased in the post-millennium age in Hungary (Pénzes et al, 2014), but the process of peripheralisation may even take place within these stagnating or decreasing spatial disparities (Šimon, 2017). As a result of the above briefly summarised processes, it is highly possible that peripheral settlements may differ from each other in their characteristics -not only regarding their geographical location but also their socioeconomic indicators.…”

The delimitation and classification of peripheral settlements using multivariate statistical methods is presented in this article, with a case study of Hungary. A combination of four different methods provided the basis for the delimitation of settlements defined as peripheral. As significant overlapping was detected between the results of the different methods, peripheries – more than one-fifth of the Hungarian settlements – were identified in a common set of the results. The independence of the results from the applied methods points to the fact that peripherisation is multi-faceted, and the peripheries of Hungary are stable and well-discernible from other regions. After the identification of peripheral areas, we classified these settlements into groups based on their specific features. Multiple steps specifying the relevant variables resulted in selecting the most appropriate 10 indicators and these served as the basis for a hierarchical cluster analysis, through which 7 clusters (types of peripheries) were identified. Five of them comprised enough cases to detect the most important dimensions and specific features of the backwardness of these groups. These clusters demonstrated a spatial pattern and their socioeconomic and infrastructural features highlighted considerable disparities. These differences should be taken into consideration when development policies are applied at regional levels or below.

“…The areain terms of public administration and statisticsbelongs to the Central Hungary region and influenced by Budapest to some extent. However, the peripherical location and the linear pattern of the network of settlementsbeing accessed only on a single road -reduce the development effect of the capital and lead to a polarization in the wealth of inhabitants within the statistical region (Penzes et al, 2014). The location along the border also affects traffic; only the Letkés border crossing is used for vehicles to cross to the Slovak side.…”

The Lower-Ipoly area, located in the north-central region of Hungary, has linear extension. In terms of the specific location and the unfavourable demographics tourism development faces difficulties in this heterogeneous area. The aim of the research is to identify the needs of prospective travellers and decision makers toward future developments in tourism in the indicated region. The paper summarizes the results of a survey, identifying the opinions of organizational and consumer market stakeholders, their similarities and differences in terms of expectations for tourism developments. This study covers the types of tourism and product elements that can potentially be developed sustainably.

“…If we consider the fact that the Internet is used for various purposes nowadays and may help our everyday life and assist in more efficient communication, the 25-28 % should be considered huge and from smart development point of view it requires urgent measures. All these statistical figures and the Smart Village concept prove that Northern-Hungary is in one of the least favorable situations -even within the country [7]. There are huge territorial differences within Hungary, not to mention the EU as a whole, but if sustainable development is desired to achieve in the EU, more and special focus should be put on the most disadvantaged regions of the Community, having more specific human resource development measures that could serve as a basis for smart approach as well.…”

The aim of this study is to introduce some EU development strategies on smart cities and villages to see whether smartness can be a suitable development method for the rural areas. Such strategies are getting more and more importance and emphasis all over the world. In many developed countries, becoming smart is basically equal to developed technology and ICT. It might be a way for cities with developed infrastructure, but it might not be the proper way of development for the disadvantaged rural areas. Due to the great territorial discrepancies not only in Europe as a whole, but within several countries of the continent, the existing smart strategies may provide assistance for the developed cities, but not for the countryside. At present, for strategy-makers, smartness refers to high quality infrastructure, technology that requires highly qualified human resource. The latter one is available mainly in urban areas, but the human resource in many rural areas (ageing, unemployed, poorly qualified etc.) is not able to use high tech and modern ICT. Therefore, smartness for them should mean something else and the same strategies cannot be applied in such underdeveloped areas (where high rate of population live). After the overview on some major existing strategies, we intend to evaluate the human resource tendencies as one of the most significant precondition to become smart for rural areas. Our primary focus is the least-developed region of Hungary, but we aim to provide conclusions for a broader scope.
