The Under-secretariate responsible for Minority and National Politics at the Hungarian Prime Minister’s Office started a new information system which is to give view of the economic and infrastructural indicators and the main demographical data of the Carpathian Basin with special respect to the Hungarian communities of the region.

The Regional Interactive Space Information System has been established to support the work of the politicians, decision makers and scientific experts dealing with these issues and being responsible for support and development. However, the online database is also available for all of the interested people.

The system provides the most important data pertaining to the regions at national, regional and settlement levels, namely: the Hungarian population number, its age group breakdown, the unemployment rate, the infrastructural data, the most important Hungarian institutions operating in the area, as well as the amount and main sources of the foreign and domestic support to the region.

The searched data can be depicted with the help of Google Earth, so their spatial distribution becomes visible. According to the plans, the regional space information system will offer great help in locating mistakes in political development measures. At the same time, the system is expected to facilitate cooperation among the Hungarian counties, as well as with the neighbouring countries, for participating in calls for applications.
