Alternatives for the Delimitation of the Favoured Settlements According to Quality of Life in Hungary

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the methodology of favoured settlements determined by the Government Regulation 105/2015 (IV.23.), with regard to the topic of objective quality of life. The main aspect was, how these life quality indicators change the composition of the favoured settlements. First the orig-inal complex indicator had to be reconstructed, then an Environment-Health group-indicator had to be created followed by the inclusion of further indicators. Then a cluster analysis was performed based on these data to examine changes in the delimitation. Statistical findings showed that the mere inclusion of the number of the indicators did not result in excessive changes, since only 5 percent of settlements was relisted. Employing cluster analysis resulted in 10 percent change in settlement situation, however, the difference was not significant in case of the Environment-Health group-indicators. Concluding the results of the three methods employed, there remained 83 percent of the settlements with unchanged favoured status, from which it follows that statistically the quality of life is the lowest in these settlements in Hungary, representing the highest challenge for regional policy.
