Summary/Abstract: Since the creation of the HDI index in 1990 there was a great demand to measure also the local human development.Using the Polish local HDI methodology of the UNDP the aim of this present paper is to examine thedistribution of the local HDI index at the example of the Hungarian micro-regions (local administrative unit 1)and the German NUTS3 districts and city regions. The main goal is to analyse the core-periphery relations of thehuman development and examine the role of spatial connections (spatial autocorrelation).
