520 3 |a The allotment garden is a type of rural land originally designated for agricultural use, such as vineyards, orchards, gardens, or arable land, typically divided into small plots. These areas are often used as hobby gardens, weekend retreats, or recreational spaces, and in many places today, they also serve as permanent residences. Allotment gardens in Hungary are not only of agricultural or social importance, but play an important role in preserving the natural environment, contributing to the household economy, and promoting sustainable development. The Hungarian government announced tenders for the development of allotment gardens in 2018, 2019, and 2021, for which a total of 540 applicants applied. The research was aimed at assessing the current status of these gardens, to analyse their main characteristics, and to evaluate the results, impacts, and further needs of the Allotment Garden Programme. To accomplish these goals, we developed an online questionnaire, which we administered in 148 settlements. We find that the most important future goal of the applicants is the development of various infrastructures (e.g., roads, ditches) and the creation of public utilities (e.g., electricity, water supply). The future of gardens largely depends on how well their different functions can be integrated. Effective promotion of allotment gardens means ensuring they can produce healthy foods, improve the environment, preserve biodiversity, and integrate traditional gardening practices, while also offering attractive recreation and useful leisure activities.
