  Scholars engaged in research into the history of Debrecen have long been eager to get an
  answer – beyond their specific research inquiries – to the question whether the development of
  the city had had unique features and if they had what would hallmark the unique character of
  development? Was there or is there a kind of “Debrecenness”?
  My study examines – with the help of a GIS relational database (DTTTA1870) – what
  peculiarities can be grasped in the transformation of the traditional spatial and social structure
  of Debrecen enforced by the political change and industrial modernization processes two
  decades after the change of feudal regime (1848/49).
  The analysis focuses on whether the alteration process of the factors determining the social
  status (residential segregation, neighborhood, spatial segregation and coexistence, other spatial
  and social hierarchical characteristics) in the cases of the “deep-rooted Debrecen residents”
  (cívis) and of the settlers showed specific types described in the literature or showed specific
  features.
