Falusi urbanizáció és városi ruralizáció a Székelyföldön
Rural Urbanization and Counter-Ruralisation of the Székely Land

Summary/Abstract: The formation of the former socialist towns was not the result of an organic process, but a conquering of territories by those who immigrated in large numbers or were settled in these regions, which made possible for the government to control more effectively the population. The ideologists of the “all-round developed socialist society” tried to modify not only the shapes of the settlements, but wanted to change the population’s compound and their way of life. How did the people’s way of life change in the analyzed period? The readers’ letters from the local press and the analysis of the interviews and series of articles from this period, as well as the comparison of the inner information with the sources of the archives offer a possibility to draw a picture of the social changes of Harghita and Covasna counties.
