In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  Chapter 11
Transdanubia — the region "Beyond the Danube" (in Hungarian: "Dunantul") is the area enclosed by the Danube and Drava rivers and the foothills of the Alps.
Transdanubia had the only "open frontier" of the former Hungarian Kingdom, which was enclosed by the Carpathians and the large rivers in the south.
Transdanubia, Hungary’s West, has produced folk art just as genuinely Magyar as the eastern regions, but this art shows a harmonious synthesis of the characteristic Magyar elements and of the effects of west: here Magyar East met Magyar West.

 SOUTH TRANSDANUBIA
The region of Southern Transdanubia still preserves its original face, and nowadays' people are willing and able to protect the environment.
The main aim of the fifty hectare Duna-Dráva National Park is to protect the wetland areas, like the branches of the river, the standing waters and the woods in the flood plains and swamps along the Danube and the Drava.
In order to guarantee the protection of the environment, a prior permit is required for a visit to protected areas, by order of the national parks directorates, both here in Southern Transdanubia as well as in the rest of the country.

The oral immunization programme was started in 1992 in Hungary and, as of 1996, it tended to cover the whole Transdanubia (western part of the country).
However the growth rate of the population density in Transdanubia where rabies immunization is practiced as compared to the Great Plain (no immunization) was significantly different (FIGURE 4.2.1).
However, it could be due to the change in the social structure of red fox population (formation of the family groups) and due to the less intensive mortality of the young foxes (Müller et al., 1995), which can integrate into the family groups.

Transdanubia today refers to the area bordered by the Danube River in the north and east, the river Drava in the south, and the border of Hungary to the west.
In the Middle Ages it included land east of the Danube, until the Mongol invasion of 1240 destroyed hundreds of settlements on the Great Plain of Central Hungary.
Transdanubia had a higher proportion of ecclesiastical estates than other areas of medieval Hungary; in some counties such as Veszprém, the ratio was as high as 40%.

In Hungary several studies, regional plans and projects were made, which intended to serve the development of certain regions of the country, the acceleration of regional development or the equalisation of the regional disadvantages.
Unfortunately, Mohács and its region have not received such attention so far, that would be worthy for the potential capacities of the region.

Their formation is documented in Transdanubia from the Middle Jurassic till the beginning of the Cretaceous period, resulting in a fairly homogeneous lithostratigraphical and micropalaeontological unit comprising local groups more or less separable on basis of its environment, conditions of occurrence and macroscopical qualities.
This is a verypowerful argument for contacts with Transdanubia, keeping an eye on the fact that the Slovakian radiolarite, Moravian hornstones and polish raw materials meant very strong competitive solutions for raw material supply in Central and Western Slovakia and Moravia.

Since the strategies base the entire region’s development on innovation and set the development of the knowledge-based society as their key objective, the development of human resources is treated as a priority everywhere.
Although, in accordance with domestic developments, the region’s resident population is on the decrease, the appearance and expansion of the migration surplus is a positive sign.
Another unique feature of the region are the negative effects of the developed economy: a large proportion of contract work, small domestic (regional) supply industries and supplier base, small number of innovative sectors built on high technology and little research and development.

 Radiolarites from the Bakony Mountains (Hungary) on Flintsource.Net
The lowish range, rising to a maximum of 700 m asl., is situated in Western Hungary, wedged between Lake Balaton in the Southeast and the Little Hungarian Plain in the Northwest.
Within Hungary, the circulation of all types of radiolarite and chert from the Bakony Mountains is mostly confined to Transdanubia, that is, the materials hardly cross the Danube into the Great Hungarian Plain.
This seems to be caused by the extensive use of Carpathian obsidian and several kinds of limnic quartzite in this area.

 European Folklore Institute
The museum was founded with a view to presenting to the public the folk architecture, home interiors, occupations and lifestyles typical of the peasantry of Hungary's villages and the craftsmen of its market towns, using only original samples for the exhibits, the buildings themselves being mid-eighteenth to mid-twentieth century structures relocated to the Szentendre site.
To date, three of the planned building complexes have been completed-the Felsô-Tiszavidék in 1974, the Kisalföld (1987), and Western Transdanubia (1993); the construction of the Great Plain market town is well on its way.
An outdoor "Stations of the Cross", a cemetery with traditional carved tombstones, and several mills and wineries help make the Szentendre complex a "living" museum of folk culture and social history.
