Peremvidék

Peremvidék is a Hungarian term that translates to "outskirts" or "fringe area." It generally refers to regions located at the periphery of a larger, more central territory, whether that territory is a city, a country, or an empire. These areas often possess distinct characteristics that differentiate them from the core.

Historically, peremvidék regions have been areas of settlement for ethnic minorities or groups considered on the margins of dominant societies. They could be borderlands, frontier zones, or areas that were less developed or integrated into the political and economic heartland. The term can carry connotations of being underdeveloped, remote, or culturally distinct.

In contemporary usage, peremvidék might describe the less urbanized or suburban areas surrounding a major city. It can also refer to regions within a country that are geographically distant from the capital or major economic centers, potentially facing challenges related to infrastructure, employment, or access to services. The concept emphasizes a position of being on the edge, rather than at the center of power or development.
