közhasználatú

Közhasználatú is a Hungarian adjective that denotes something intended for use by the general public rather than for private use. The root parts are köz- (public) and használat (use), with the suffix -ú indicating an adjective form. In practice, közhasználatú characterizes objects, spaces or infrastructures that are accessible to the public under applicable rules and conditions.

It is widely used in urban planning, property law and public administration. Typical applications include közhasználatú út (public road), közhasználatú közterület (public space such as a square or sidewalk), and sometimes közhasználatú közmű (public utility infrastructure).

Designation as közhasználatú indicates that the item or area is not solely for private ownership or use; rights of use and obligations are governed by national and local regulations. Municipalities or other public authorities usually specify such designations in land-use plans, property records, or public-use rules. The status can affect maintenance responsibility, access rights, and restrictions on alteration or development, depending on the legal context.

Understanding the term requires reference to locally applicable laws and planning documents. In practice, közhasználatú distinguishes public-access parts of property or infrastructure from private-use components, guiding how they are managed and accessed within the legal framework of the jurisdiction.
