Tóth Józsefre emlékezünk. Előszó a Modern Geográfia tematikus számához

Abstract

February 7, 2023 marked the 10th anniversary of the death of Professor József Tóth. Our journal would like to contribute to a worthy commemoration. Perhaps it is not surprising that the following articles recalling the past appear in the thematic issue of Modern Geográfia. This is partly due to the fact that the professor was the founder of our journal. In terms of their scope and genre, the following articles are not research articles in the classical sense of the term, but rather short studies, or more precisely essays, which are based primarily on personal memories and experiences in addition to secondary analyses of academic literature. All of our authors invited to the commemoration were students, friends, and colleagues of József Tóth, so they gladly agreed to pay tribute to the professor’s memory with a piece of writing each. The articles point out, among other things, József Tóth’s role in 20th-century Hungarian geography, the results of his rectorship, the residential and territorial characteristics of his famous students, and the impact of his versatile research on the development of geography in Pécs.
