Migration and Settlement: 7. Hungary [antikvár]

FOREWORD Interest in human settlement systems and policies has been a central part of urban-related work at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) from the outset. From 1975 through 1978 this interest was manifested in the work of the Migration and Settlement Task, which was formally concluded in November 1978. Since then, attention has turned to the dissemination of the Task's results and to the conclusion of its comparative study, which, under the leadership of Dr. Frans Willekens, is focusing on a comparative quantitative assessment of recent migration patterns and spatial population dynamics in all of IIASA's 17 National Member Organization countries. The comparative analysis of national patterns of interregional migration and spatial population growth is being carried out by an international network of scholars who are using methodology and computer programs developed at IIASA. This is the report on migration and settlement in Hungary. Dr. Klára Bies and the late Dr. Kálmán Tekse, of the Hungarian Demographic Research Institute in Budapest, have analyzed recent changes in settlement patterns and have studied in detail the population dynamics of the system of six economic planning regions. Reports summarizing previous work on migration and settlement at IIASA are listed at the end of this report. Andrei Rogers Chairman Human Settlements and Services Area
