VÁNDORMOZGALOM A TRIANONI ALFÖLD TERÜLETÉN A 20. SZÁZAD ELSŐ HARMADÁBAN 126 INTERNAL MIGRATION IN THE POST-TRIANON GREAT HUNGARIAN PLAIN IN THE FIRST THIRD OF THE 20TH CENTURY by Zsolt Szilágyi SUMMARY Migration in the Great Hungarian Plain can be reconstructed thanks to visualisations of migration movement at the level of localities (GIS). On the basis of results thus obtained, three major target areas can be distinguished: the agglomerations of Budapest and Miskolc, and the sandy areas between the Danube and Tisza rivers. At the same time, along a line connecting Nyíregyháza, Debrecen and Békéscsaba east of the Tisza, and Szeged and Baja in the south, a wide, mosaic-like migration zone had also developed along the borders by the 1920s. Finally, it is demonstrated beyond doubt that the villages in the north-eastern regions of the Great Plain were emitting part of their population as early as the beginning of the twentieth century, suffering a considerable demographic loss that was probably caused by the relative over-population of the area.
