Absztrakt (kivonat)

In the last 50 years the urban areas were expanding so fast, which lead to the decreasing of rural and the green areas of the settlements in Europe, and also in Hungary. This process is called in several ways, such as urban sprawl, suburbanisation, and peri-urbanisation of the urban-rural “fringe” as well. Although there is difference between the above mentioned concepts, but the causes and processes are not strictly separated in time and space. One of the main purposes of this study is to identify the mentioned processes in a case study of Zalaegerszeg; whether urban sprawl or a special form of suburbanisation occurs. The other aim is to define the complex definition of the above mentioned processes using qualitative indices for Zalaegerszeg. To identify the various impacts of the growing urban areas a literature analysis was made and ortophoto maps of 2000 and 2014 were conducted. The purpose of the latter was to show the disappearing green areas and growing urban structure due to the sprawl. During 14 years of urban changes 21,8 hectare green and agricultural area disappeared in the area of Zalaegerszeg. The second part of the study is based on the results of a questionnaire survey made in Zalaegerszeg to analyse if the urban sprawl and periurban growth within the city boundary is a result of concentration process caused by immigration from rural neighbourhoods or is it a relative deconcentration caused by the outmigration from the city centre. According to the results, urban sprawl is mainly caused by suburban motivations, like changing lifestyle, demand for better environmental setting. The decentralisation process to the outer districts of Zalaegerszeg (former independent villages) results social fault lines within the “natives” and the new suburban immigrant inhabitants. There are differences in social status according to income, education and working position. The study concludes that in Zalaegerszeg the urban sprawl occurs within the city boundary for suburban reasons. According to our analysis, although statistically the process is not suburbanisation, the motivation behind actually is.
