Vadvízországtól a fokgazdálkodásig. Ember és természet viszonyának változó értékelése
Changing Evaluation of the Relationship of Man and Nature

Summary/Abstract: The study outlines the historiography of the Hungarian historical ecology. The eighth part of the Carpatian Basin was flooded in the Middle Ages, and it was drastically changed during the Early Modern Ages. Up to the middle of the 20th century, historical works gave favourable account of the effects of these landscape changing drainage works. Since many unambiguous negative effects arised, such as pauperization of people using water resources; only child in a family, drying out of lands, it made researchers of social studies to revise the problem. In Hungary and first, experts of ethnology formed a new opinion (Bertalan Andrásfalvy) suggesting the long time bad effects of 18-19th century drainage works; and the researchers of historical geography followed this way (Tibor Bellon, Sándor Frisnyák).
