Abstract

Dolgozatomban bemutatom az Imperiali és Macau körzetkiosztási módszereket és megvizsgálom, hogy egy alapvető arányossági kritériumnak, az ún. Hare-kvóta tulajdonságnak mennyire felelnek meg. Emellett arra a kérdésre keresem a választ, hogy a két módszer valóban kedvez-e a vidéki megyéknek, azaz több körzetet osztanak-e ki kis megyéknek, mint amennyi a Hare-kvóta szerinti illetné őket. Ismertetem a körzetkiosztás alapvető tulajdonságait, illetve – mivel az Imperiali és a Macau módszer a jól ismert Jefferson/D’Hondt körzetkiosztási módszerek némileg módosított, átalakított változatai –, egy rövid történeti áttekintés keretében ez utóbbiakat is bemutatom. Az elemzés módszertanát részben a körzetkiosztási probléma matematikai eszköztára adja: az eljárásokat ház-monotonitás, népesség-monotonitás, illetve a kvóta tulajdonság alapján elemzem; emellett a módszertan másik részét a saját szerkesztésű, C++ nyelven írt számítógépes program képezi, amely adott népességi adatok és parlament-méretek esetén meghatározza az Imperiali és Macau módszerek szerinti körzetkiosztásokat.
