Nemzetközi mobilitási magatartás és lehetséges járványhelyzeti jövője a Kárpát-medencei magyarság körében, 2020
Exploring international mobility patterns and the post-COVID trends of international mobility in Hungary and in the ethnic Hungarian communities of the neighbouring countries of Hungary, 2020

Summary/Abstract: Along with the development of communication and transportation options new forms of mobility may link people to multiple places. Therefore, instead of one-time and one-way migration these people may be able to use different functions in different geographical locations or countries, like in a chain network. Among ethnic Hungarians living in the Carpathian basin emigration plays the most significant role in the population decline, as such the use of the nontraditional mobility patterns may represent significant factors in staying in the homeland. The aim of this study is to map, quantify and characterize the groups engaged in these new mobility patterns in Hungary, the most populous Hungarian communities from Transylvania (Romania), Southern Slovakia, Vojvodina (Serbia) and Transcarpathia (Ukraine). The study outlines that the COVID pandemic situation had severe effects on the cross-border mobility networks, commuters faced serious difficulties. However, long term goals of the surveyed population regarding cross-border mobility have been moderately impacted.
