Transcarpathia – The latest volume of the Regions of the Carpathian Basin published
The eleventh volume of the series presents the Ukranian Transcarpathia Region, focusing on its present socioeconomic conditions, mapping the various factors of development embedded in a historical perspective. This administrative unit, covering an area of 12 800 km2, with a population of 1.25 million originally formed by the historical counties of Ung, Bereg, Ugocsa and Máramaros in 1920, consists of 13 districts, 11 towns, 19 urban-type settlements, and 579 rural settlements in our days. The Hungarian minority (150 000) accounts for twelve percent of the Region’s population, which is a major reason why the Region’s complex socioeconomic analysis is given a high priority. The volume was published under the edition of Béla Baranyi.
