Abstracts 381 Eszter Vámos Public celebrations on Tettye and social spaces in 1920s Pécs Pécs was a dynamically developing town, but after the First World War this progress slowed down. The cultural life, which was a mark of the previous era, changed in the 1920s. After the Serbian occupation the locals tried to return to their usual lifestyle, but the high level of inflation made everyday life difficult. The people neither devote time on entertainment nor spend money on culture. This trend reversed only at the end of the decade. In theory, open-air public places were accessible to all members of society without limit, but on the one hand they were exposed to the weather, and on the other hand the established customs required a certain behavior from space users. The promenade of Pécs was one of the main places of social contact where social representation was the most important. For this reason, a strict rule system emerged, which in many cases excluded and stigmatized those who belonged to other social groups and who did not behave according to these norms. In the meantime, the local fair had an enthusiastic and playful entertainment for their audience, with whom the middle class was opposed to. The Tettye, which was a public space in Pécs, could not be expropriated by any social groups like the promenade or the fair, and was therefore a suitable location to hold the celebrations. Although the organizers were usually members of the middle class, these events did not convey their values. In one respect, this was because they tried to win the widest range of society for the sake of their cause, and in other respects, these festivals were built on a tradition of liberal behavior. The study attempts to illustrate the neutral situation of the Tettye within the social spaces of Pécs and how this had an impact on “traditional” social conventions during the celebrations.

The capital’s playground architecture developed in the 1970s, based on results of large-scale interdisciplinary research. It included modem technology innovations, which were in harmony with the international trends, contained several forward-looking elements and were tailored to the country’s economic potential. In this period, the construction of playgrounds was one of the important aims of the development of public spaces, as it is shown by the researched garden plans, type
