Description:

Globalisation has led to the dominance and geographical expansion of urban areas. Companies consider a com-plex set of criteria when deciding on their locations, including the agglomeration area and the presence of similar companies or related businesses. This study examines the spatial distribution and industrial clustering of companies within the agglomeration of Győr, Hungary’s sixth-largest city. The sample comprises 256 companies across 68 settlements, with data processed through map, quadrat and industry analysis. The analyses identified six settlements within the agglomeration where nearly half of the companies are located, five factors that seem to facilitate company location, and five main industrial sectors, four of which are closely related. The article concludes that the agglomeration area of Győr is characterised by a high degree of spatial concentration of companies, industrial clustering and the emergence of industry sub-centres.

Description:

When making installation decisions, companies take into account a complex system of criteria, which includes the agglomeration area, as well as the presence of companies performing the same or similar activities. The purpose of this research is to examine the spatial distribution of companies established in the agglomeration settlements of Győr. In the course of the analysis, map tests were carried out and a quadratic analysis was prepared. The results of the research show that there is a high degree of spatial concentration of companies in the Győr agglomeration area, and territorial densification can also be seen based on settlement-level indicators.

Housing price trends as a function of distance from Győr as a centre

Tamás Dusek Petra Kecskés Zsuzsanna Pálffy Patrícia Horváth

Publication Name: Teruleti Statisztika

Publication Date: 2023-01-01

Volume: 63

Issue: 5

Page Range: 557-574

Description:

Examining the impact of spatial parameters is a central factor in research related to the analysis of housing prices, mostly involving data at the municipal level or higher. The present study builds on a less common approach, focusing on the analysis of the impact of a spatial parameter, distance from the centre, on property prices, furthermore, the empirical research uses aggregated municipal- level data based on the level of individual dwellings. On the one hand, the study aims to review and systematise the determinants of property prices, with a more detailed focus on previous studies of the impact of distance from the centre, and on the other hand, within the framework of empirical research, to examine the impact of distance from Győr as a centre on the supply price of detached houses.
