A vidéki dzsentrifikáció hazai volumene és a turizmus típusai, 2001 és 2022 között
Domestic volume of rural gentrification and types of tourism, 2001–2022

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present study is to examine the migration of urban upper and middle classes to rural small settlements, i.e. rural gentrification, using the 2001 and 2011 census data of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH), and to determine the role of tourism in rural gentrification and the different types of tourism. The authors found 126 settlements with less than 2,000 inhabitants where there is evidence of rural gentrification, taking into account the number of moves between 2001 and 2011. Of these, 16 were located in the agglomeration zone of a large city, and while in 60 of them gentrification was linked to tourism, in 50 there was no significant tourism activity. The role of gentrification in maintaining population and increasing incomes can be explained mainly by waterfront tourism and, above all, by the proximity of Lake Balaton, while in many other cases the influx of urban upper and middle classes does not contribute significantly to the socio-economic survival of the settlements. However, to answer further questions about the settlements affected to different degrees by rural gentrification require small-scale qualitative field research.
