Highlights
The subject of the research is the population living, working, studying, or having a second home or holiday home in the settlements of the Balaton priority tourism development area (GOV 2016) – hereinafter: The Balaton region – in Hungary
1) Which settlement factors is the local population most dissatisfied with? 2) How strong is the relationship between the importance and satisfaction with the municipal factors, and the overall satisfaction of the locals with their settlement? The latter may influence whether locals recommend their settlement or not as a place of residence or a destination for their acquaintances
Almost half of the respondents (49%) are locals, who live in the Balaton region and/or works/studies here. 22% of the respondents live elsewhere but have a secondary home/holiday home in the Balaton region. 16% was the rate of locals who live in the Balaton region but works or studies elsewhere
Summary
The subject of the research is the population living, working, studying, or having a second home or holiday home in the settlements of the Balaton priority tourism development area (GOV 2016) – hereinafter: The Balaton region – in Hungary. The study aims to determine which local (municipal) factors should be developed in the settlements of the Balaton region to increase the satisfaction of the population. The examined 27 local (municipal) factors can be classified into the following categories: municipal services, economic characteristics, factors related to leisure and tourism, demographic factors, settlement conditions. The importance of individual municipal factors and satisfaction with them may guide decision-. Makers in directing regional and settlement development decisions and development resources towards improving the well-being and the quality of life of the population of the Balaton region. Dissatisfaction with residential factors is in a weak, positive relationship with the willingness to migrate, that is, the intention to move (Piskóti, Nagy, Molnár, & Marien, 2012)
