Economic evaluation and predictive analysis of transactions in regional networks                                           

In the 21st century the development of the social and economic processes requires thinking in systems more and more. The development of settlements today means far more than the innovative remodeling of the given city, town or village; the relationships between the settlements and the regional networks are acquiring a much greater role. Local governments, residents, businesses, NGOs, institutions and the networks connecting them play a great role in innovation at system level.

In my research I regard certain settlements as the nodes of regional networks, and I examine the economic and social interactions of these networks, searching for the sources and the positive economic impacts of these effects. By interconnecting several networks I get network systems, which may be the basis of a regional circular economy, where the goal is to establish a win-win relationship between the individual actors, while minimalizing the production of waste and striving for energy self-sufficiency.

During my investigation I am looking for an answer to the question whether the prerequisites for alternative energy use across multiple settlements, which is considered to be one of the basic pillars of sustainability at the settlement/regional  (as nodes of the regional network) level in the West-Transdanubian region.
