Környéki

Környéki is a Hungarian adjective meaning relating to the surrounding area or vicinity. It is formed from the noun környék (vicinity, neighbourhood) with the adjectival suffix -i, which creates words that denote belonging to or characteristic of a place’s surrounding area. The term emphasizes a relationship to a central reference point, such as a city or town, rather than to a location in its own right.

In geography, urban planning, and administration, környéki is used to describe features, conditions, or entities associated with the area around a focal locality. It can modify nouns such as település, térség, közlekedés, or adottság, signaling that the subject concerns the wider neighbourhood rather than the core place itself. The nuance is that környéki points to the outer or adjacent region rather than to something strictly central.

Common phrases include környéki települések (surrounding settlements), környéki közlekedés (surrounding-area transport), and környéki adottságok (surrounding-area characteristics). In use, the term helps distinguish elements of the periphery from those inside a city center or a defined core area.

Környéki is not typically a proper noun or a standalone place name; it functions as a descriptive adjective in ordinary language and in official terminology. Its exact meaning can vary with context, reflecting the degree of distance or inclusion in the surrounding region being described. See also környék, regionális, település.
