Abstract

The aim of our study was to ascertain how the internal migration in Hungary reflect the the utility based accessibility and how they differ from each other, what major trends can be detected? Before testing our hypothesis was that in Hungary the internal migration is especially in connection with the conditions of economic development.

This initial hypothesis was confirmed, since it seems clear link between the Hungarian internal migration and utility-based accessibility, that’s mean that  the driving force in our country's internal migration is clearly linked to economic reasons.
