Szeged-Móraváros településmorfológiai jellemzőinek vizsgálata

Abstract

In our study, we examine the settlement morphological characteristics of the Móraváros
city district of Szeged. Our choice of topic is justified by the fact that no detailed settlement
morphological research has been carried out in this rapidly transforming district of Szeged
city, so far. Our main research questions focus on the changes that have taken place in the
residential area of Móraváros in recent decades.
As the first step of the research, we reviewed the history of Szeged-Móraváros from the
establishment of this city district to the present day. We analysed the Building Code of
Szeged, paying special attention to studying the building conditions typical of Móraváros,
and we studied the territoriality of the characteristics of the demographic, social,
educational, housing stock and infrastructure statistical indicators available for the
district, as well as the trends of recent years. By analysing aerial photographs, we examined
the morphological transformation of Móraváros going back several decades. Finally, as the
main method of our research, we examined the built-up area and residential buildings of
Móraváros in our field survey in the entire plot-level study area defined by us. To illustrate
our research results, we prepared maps of the built-up area of the district. We registered
the type of each residential building and the construction time of the buildings and
renovated buildings. During our field survey, we documented the typical examples of each
installation variant in several parts of the district, according to their type, age and degree
of renovation.
Our research results show how the residential area construction changes in the district
transformed parts of Móraváros, how the building stock changed, and how the
transformation affected the whole district. According to the results of our study, we can
observe the spread of the new condominium construction method in the eastern part of
Móraváros, which significantly increases traffic here. In addition, the gradual renewal of
the family housing zone and the appreciation of the district take place in the western part
of Móraváros.
