The Fulfilment of Five-Year Plan Objectives for Inpatient Care in Hungary, 1960–1970
26-47Views:11After 1945, the hospital care system had to be rebuilt and substantially expanded, as the health
insurance system was being extended. The paper examines the extent to which the targets set
during the second and third five-year plans were achieved, how the availability of hospital beds
differed between Budapest and rural areas, and what characterized the geographical distribution
of hospital beds. These questions are addressed using a comparative approach (by comparing the
planned objectives with their actual outcomes) and cartographic methods. The objectives of the
plan ending in 1965 were largely achieved, though the construction of new hospitals was the area
in which the targets were least successfully met. However, in the third five-year plan ending in
1970, there were shortfalls in almost every area. The ratio of general hospital beds between Budapest
and rural areas decreased from three-to-one to two-to-one, although the significance of this
change is context-dependent. Furthermore, mapping hospitals and bed numbers revealed which
areas were experiencing bed shortages. -
Területi különbségek a trianoni Magyarország területén a 20. század első felében. Módszertani modell
54-69Views:1The topic of the present methodological dissertation is the examination of Hungarian territorial differences in the context of modernization and development. In the background of my choice of topic lies the scientific importance of the issue, the growing domestic quantitative research and the illumination of the Trianon trauma from a new perspective (Demeter 2018, Szilágyi 2018). I also consider this to be a novel approach, because it is a fact that June 4, 1920 significantly affected our country in all areas, but approaches have come to light (Tomka 2018) that already paint a more nuanced picture of Trianon and the subsequent economic downturn. So I consider it justified to carry out an empirical research on a quantitative basis with the involvement of the settlement network. Thus, we can approach the relationship between development and Trianon from new perspectives. Writing of which, the 100th anniversary itself is another motivation.
