“…One of the most important factors affecting the return of citizens to the countryside is the availability of the sports infrastructure and the functioning of the local sports associations, sport clubs as it was reported in Hungary. The availability of this infrastructure and these services depends on the support of the government and of the local authorities [98]. The sport clubs are mostly civil associations operating in a non-profit framework but in the case of professional sport the presence of for-profit companies is getting more and more important both in Hungary and Germany as well [99].…”

The role of rural areas partly changed in the last decades. The countryside is still functioning as the main food producer of the world and this role became much more important because of the global population growth and because of the change in dietary habits. But other rural functions appeared just like recreation, health preservation, and on the other hand the different ecological functions' importance increased. The population living in the countryside is continuously decreasing as more and more people try to move into urban areas. One of the main aims of this article is to give a brief literature overview on the services needed in the rural areas in order to stop migration from the countryside to the cities. Based on extensive literature review the article summarizes the changing functions of the countryside and tries to list those developments which are needed to preserve rural population.

“…also stated that influencing factors showing regional or municipality based diversity of the macro environment of sport may also play a role such as economic power (GDP), settlement size composition, unemployment rate, but also geographical attributes and the number of sporting facilities. Kozma (2010a) found that sport also may play an effective tool in city marketing, furthermore the portfolio of sporting facilities at a region (Kozma, 2010b) ) and the financing structure of those facilities (Becsky et al, 2015) may influence sport participation of the local population. As mentioned more research data is available on the mentioned three approaches on both the European and national levels, but less that considering the regional characteristics of sport participation.…”

Health and life style gain increasing emphasis in contemporary societies. As physical inactivity became one of the urging threats in modernity, governments attempt to adopt policies to tackle this issue, and give special attention to sport participation and the level of physical activity of citizens. This issue is widely studied by scientific research; however, fewer studies focus on sport participation from the regional aspect in general. This study aims to analyse sport participation trends of the Hungarian total population with special attention given to regional trends and size of settlements; and comparing that with results gained in the European Union. It also attempts to make those comparisons and point out differences in relation to reasons for, obstacles and venues of participation; furthermore, evaluation of local sporting opportunities and actions of local authorities for sport. Based on data received from the Eurobarometer surveys sport and physical activity participation of the Hungarian population increased from 2009 to 2013 (10%), however, Hungary is still below the EU average. Hungarians less often exercise at locations such as fitness clubs, sport clubs or open spaces such as parks or natural environment; and more often use choose their private home for such purposes. Both never and regularly exercising expressed strong dissatisfaction with local sporting opportunities and with the contribution of local governments in support of sport than in the EU. Answers to the measured variables showed high diversity in regards to settlement size both in EU and Hungary and in regional distribution in case of Hungary. Sporting infrastructure was less used by people living on the lowest urbanisation level. This finding was reflected in the negative consideration of local opportunities and actions of local governments, which was actually suggest that relevant sport infrastructure and opportunities for sport such as organisations, programs, communities do not exist with such frequency as they do at larger settlements.
