Abstract

With the passing of time, it is sometimes necessary and useful to re-examine “classic” themes and territories. In my view, such a theme is the restructuring of rural economy, and such a territory is Homokhátság. Unfortunately, the territory under investigation mostly only receives attention during summer droughts, when the lack of water is so severe, that farm fields, or even gardens, may not be watered. The explored economic and social processes are most certainly also affected by the lack of water, but unravelling the relationship between these two processes is not the subject of this writing. My goal is to shed light on those phenomena, in which the restructuring of the rural economy is manifested. It may well be that we do not obtain an epoch-marking result, or one which is surprising, but I consider it important to “keep our fingers on the wrist of Homokhátság and to check its pulse”. In my opinion it is also important we do, because it true for regional science statement of Herakleitosz, what is; the only constant is change.
