Summary
Hollókő's study reveals a tension between obligatory tradition and business interests, shaping the village's development trajectory. The research highlights how local communities navigate these dual pressures while maintaining cultural heritage. Using a mixed-methods approach—document analysis, public databases, surveys, and interviews with civil society representatives—the study maps community dynamics, development projects, and future perceptions. It underscores the pivotal role of civil organizations in fostering cohesion but also identifies challenges in balancing tradition with economic growth, offering insights into sustainable heritage management for UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
