Egy aprófaluvá vált tanyaközség történetének főbb szakaszai a közigazgatási önállóságtól napjainkig (Örménykúti esettanulmány)

Abstract

The aim of this case study is to explore the structural frameworks and local specificities
influencing the development of Örménykút. In order to do so, I outlined the main stages of
the development of Örménykút based on news reports about the settlement published
between 1952 and 2022, and then conducted primary empirical research, which included
semi-structured interviews and fieldwork. Based on this study, it can be concluded that
Örménykút is a tanya-village with a cumulative pattern of social disadvantages. Due to its
unique development path, it has both the difficulties of a former tanya frontier and certain
symptoms of the small village syndrome as a result of depopulation. Given its peripheral
location, informal reproductive and productive work and social relations can play a
significant role in the social reproduction of households, and by exploring their
characteristics and internal spatial differences, we can come closer to a deeper
understanding of the socio-spatial processes in these specific settlements in rural areas.
