border, national park, landscape, infrastructure development, AnthropoceneAbstract
National parks and protected areas are the outcomes of social spatialization. Similarly to other Central and Eastern European examples, one also finds protected areas at the Hungarian-Slovenian border. Based on the story of two infrastructure developments in the area, the author argues that local ecologies and boundaries are inherently socio-natural creations.
