CHANGES IN THE STATUS OF GEOGRAPHY IN HUNGARY IN THE CONTEXT OF PUBLICATIONS IN THE GEOGRAPHICAL REVIEW OF HUNGARIAN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY

Abstract

The analysis examines how the professional focus of geography in Hungary has changed over the past 120 years. It also aims to show how the taxonomic role of geography and its posi­tion in the interdisciplinary field have changed. The above issues can be assessed from several perspectives (e.g. human, infrastructural, economic or professional content), but in this paper we will only attempt a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the professional content (subjects) of the publications in the Geographical Review of Hungarian Geographical Society. We believe that a content analysis of the 1700 or so papers published in Geographical Review of Hungarian Geographical Society between 1900 and 2020 will give us an idea of when and how the main research topics of the publications changed, and to what extent, and how they are in line with national and international trends.
