Ezzel együtt sem állíthatjuk, hogy e területen minden kérdésre van valamilyen válaszunk, nincsenek olyan vonatkozások, amelyekben nem szükséges újrakutatni és újragondolni akár az eddigi kutatási eredményeket is

Was there or is there a kind of "Debrecenness"? My study examines-with the help of a GIS relational database (DTTTA1870)-what peculiarities can be grasped in the transformation of the traditional spatial and social structure of Debrecen enforced by the political change and industrial modernization processes two decades after the change of feudal regime (1848/49). The analysis focuses on whether the alteration process of the factors determining the social status (residential segregation, neighborhood, spatial segregation and coexistence, other spatial and social hierarchical characteristics) in the cases of the "deep-rooted Debrecen residents" (cívis) and of the settlers showed specific types described in the literature or showed specific features.

Nevertheless, in my research I was first focusing my attention to the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, because in effect the roughly 50 years preceding the settlement permits for the inner areas of the indicated cities saw several waves of Jewish immigration in Hungary. However, it was the first important stage of mutual acculturation of the above-mentioned urban societies and Jewish communities. It was a period of time that is essential for the understanding of urban settlement, the subsequent integration and the controversial processes of assimilation/dissimilation and intra-urban spatial segregation. The closing date of our study falls on the year of 1870 because my intent was to do an extensive survey of space and society structures relying on the data of the poll taken in that year, or to be more precise on the basis of the analytic sources of the Geoinformatic Social History ...

It starts with the turn of the nineteenth century which saw several waves of Jewish immigration in Hungary and was the first important stage of mutual acculturation of the urban societies and Jewish communities. The analysis of this period is essential for the understanding of urban settlement, the subsequent integration, and the controversial processes of assimilation/dissimilation and intra-urban spatial segregation. The second part of the article offers a case study on Debrecen tracing the initial steps of settlement, housing conditions and residence segregation, neighborhood relations, family structure and residence patterns of Jewish families as well as the spatial layout of the established Jewish ritual and community institutions. The closing part of the study strives to reconsider the research methodology on issues of integration, acculturation, and urban segregation b...
