The difference consists, besides the morphologic 
characteristics, in the manifold consideration of functional 
elements. Some of these are: relationship between place of 
work and place of residence, direction and extent of daily 
commuting, system of relationships between the different 
institutions supplying educational and health services, access to 
commercial services etc. Other important components of this 
are the traced infrastructural elements, the transport and 
communal service network, as well as the system of leisure time 
and recreational possibilities. 
All these aspects together bear the development of the 
agglomeration, of which the most marked elements,-the changes 
in the morphologic characteristics and the population 
concentration "can be seen" by means of the new approach used 
in the pilot project. 
4.2. Enumeration districts 
The example of Zugló proves that detailed land use information 
gained by the use of remote sensing and the well organized data 
supply system of spatial information of local governments also 
making use of it are able to provide ED-level information not 
only in decennial censuses, but more frequently. Moreover, this 
is requested, and the new results will raise further demand in 
this respect. 
In order to make application of its elements in a larger scope, it 
would be necessary to have relevant, detailed land use maps for 
larger locality groupings, towns, communes. Information 
gained by remote sensing and its processing by spatial 
informatics is the most appropriate mean for doing so. From 
amidst methods to be selected, priority should be given to 
automatized processing. 
The Hungarian practice seems to have chosen a right way. The 
space photos are at our disposal for the whole country, their 
resolution is ever improving; the establishing of the system of 
digitized maps covering the entire country is underway, and the 
special knowledge and skills are also in expansion for a 
growing amount of experts. However, the laying down of solid 
foundations in this respect require further time, important 
financial and human resources.
