rekonstrukciója (a Függelékben el lehet olvasni a kapcsolódó korabeli hírlapi cikkeket, Móra nevezetes novelláját és egyéb, a tudománytörténeti kutatás során felszínre került dokumentumokat). A következő alegységekben Bartók Béla és kortársai, követői dudával kapcsolatos kutatásairól, vélekedéseiről olvashatunk, majd a duda, a dudamuzsika újrafelfedezéséről, napjainkban betöltött szerepéről, mondhatni reneszánszáról kapunk képet. A könyvet angol, német és szlovák nyelvű összefoglalás zárja és rendkívül gazdag képanyag teszi még élvezhetőbbé és tanulságosabbá.

The capital of Slovakia, located close to border with Austria and Hungary is after 2004 facing with challenges of ‘territorial expanding of towns and willages outside of administrative city border’ as suburbanization can be defined. Natural growth of the city is limited with Small Karpatian hills, Danube river and two borders (Tamás Hardi 2010). The author in the first contribution explains reasons why approximately 3000 Slovaks have chosen new home across the border in Hungary and in Žitný ostrov region in Slovakia. The favourable credits are accessible, on hungarian countryside prices of estate are cheaper than on the other side of the border (in Rusovce even seven times expensiver than in Rajka across the border), Bratislava can be easily and fast accesible due to good road connections. Besides residential suburbanisation we differ two more: comercial (business activities, new working places) and season (where we stay during the weekend, sports activities). For first phase of suburbanization invasion of citizens just to some parts of countryside is tipical where they buy older houses or build new one. In massive phase investors build new neighbourhoods, new block of flats, population density arise, that is the time when settlement change it’s village character to urban. Decline of suburbanisation is connected with economic situation of each indivudual or mainly young couples in this case as we will see later. For better comparable understanding of Bratislava suburbanization Hardi explains the phenomenon in Hungary, speaking mainly about Budapest, and Győr. Lack of actual data (the last from 2001) regarding commuting to work between Budapest and Budaörs (suburb of Budapest) is connected with last counting of population. Nevertheless, it is not of central importance for the study, we understand it being there mainly for hungarian reader. Reading in Slovak in some places we had difficulties understanding when he speaks about Hungary and when about Slovakia, translating it as by us, we, we have. Explaining reasons for choosing certain place for living, he takes into account neoclassicistic approach where two factors are important: expenses connected with job commuting (time, distance, way of transport) and living expenses. For behavioralistic approach also expectations of people are important while choosing new place for living. Prestigious one means rising on society scale. In conclusion author warns that the process shouldn’t be managed just by logic of capital but number of inhabitants, environmental sustainability and urban development plans have to be counterbalanced. The latter as we may see failed the exaim in Bratislava in recent years. 307
