The Impact of Microtopography and Drainage on Land Use and Settlement Development in the Hungarian Drava Plain

The physical environment and society are closely interrelated and the role of physical conditions can be detected in the economic development and spreading of settlements in the Hungarian section of the Drava Plain. Throughout the history of the region, land use has always been fundamentally controlled by the topographic and hydrographic situation. Even relief of a metre or two has been decisive in delimiting areas suitable for fishing, gathering, forests or crop cultivation. Although the flow regulation of the Fekete-viz and the drainage of swamp-lands at the end of the 19 th century reduced flood hazards and made new land available for cultivation, at the same time, they made the traditional life-style of gathering, fishing and hunting unfeasible for the poorer layers of society. Settlements formed on the higher-lying flood-free mounds (ormany-s). The paper employs GIS techniques in the study of spatial expansion of the largest of the settlements, the town of Sellye. It is concluded that the areas below 100 m elevation could only be developed following drainage measures.

Depression and somatic symptoms in the elderly: the role of cognitive function

This research was developed within a study on the quality of life of elderly people and involved 462 community-dwelling subjects aged 75 and over living in the city centre of Brescia and Padua, northern Italy. The presence of the well-known relationship between depression and somatic complaints was confirmed in the sample. In order to assess the role of physical conditions and cognitive impairment, the association between depression and number of pains was statistically controlled for the presence of disability (and other indicators of disease) and for cognitive function. Results indicate a correlation between the number of pains reported and the BSI depression scale score for cognitively intact individuals. The correlation was abolished in those individuals whose cognitive functioning was impaired. The relationships of cognitive function with depression and somatic complaints are discussed.
