Abstract

Professionals of the regional science and the historical geography took a special interest of the region of the Great Plain for a long time. The investigation focusing on any context of the Great Plain problem has importance beyond themselves. In addition to the fact that the Great Plain is a flat macroregion covering almost one half of Hungary’s current area and is the home for one third of the population, the scientific interest relating to its development history is justified by the impacts of historical past affecting nowadays. The study made for the conference in Szolnok titled ‘Historical geography of the Great Plain (895–1920)’ is dealing with the civic transition and the issues of capitalist development during the transformation of the dualist period after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise in 1867. The topic is based on the hypothesis that the discovering of the development characteristics (the ambiguous economic and social transformation; the unique development of peasant-citizens and market towns; the diverse ‘otherness’; the backwardness also containing the elements of development; the various creation of peripheries) of the Great Plain in the dualist period help to interpret the consequences rooting in the uniqueness of the historical past of the plain including the causes of the belatedness and peripheral feature. These distinctive regional characteristics frequently referred as ‘Great Plain syndrome’, ‘Great Plain phenomena’, ‘Great Plain symptoms’, or simply ‘Great Plain’s path’. The study is regarded as an attempt to resolve the deeper content hiding in the attributes and the consequences messaging for nowadays by rethinking the published results of decades of Great Plain researches from the aspects of regional science and historical geography disciplines.
