Life in Veszprém, in the "town of queens"Lenner, Tibor (Avtor) , Oddelek za geografijo, Filozofska fakulteta Univerze v Mariboru (Lastnik avtorskih pravic) historical settlement geographysettlement structurehistorical ground plan developmentfortress-based settlementEvery settlement is a unique place. This uniqueness is manifested, among others, in cultural and historical values. Truly reflecting the settlement’s history and development, the ground plan of a town safeguards these unique characteristics over the centuries. Therefore, it is practical to analyse the spatial extension within its historical relations when researching a settlement’s morphology, development and functional structure. This method has traditions dating back to Tibor Mendöl in the Hungarian settlement geography. By means of historical settlement geography, one can interpret the creation of a settlement space, the principles of spatial arrangement, and explore the expansion or regression of a settlement. In the present study, we attempted to find a correlation between the historical, functional and formal aspects of the transformation processes on the example of Veszprém, a county capital in Transdanubia. The authors’ aim of doing so was to establish a basis for a later settlement- morphological examination of the town.02018-04-10 09:40:36Znanstveno delo70136ISSN: 1854-665XUDK: 711.4(439Veszprém)OceCobissID: 229718016COBISS_ID: 268183552ISSN pri članku: 1854-665XNUK URN: URN:SI:UM:DK:ZNVY94KUslOddelek za geografijo, Filozofska fakulteta Univerze v Mariboru
