Abstract

The Alföld with its central position in the Carpathian Basin and eastern position in the Pannonian Plain represents the landscape or physico-geographical unit of Carpathian-Pannonian region. Following the recommendation of the Hungarian Geographical Society’s Alföld Commission (from 1910) the Alföld should use as a geographic name and the previous denomination “Great Hungarian Plain” should be abandoned. Some parts/segments of the Alföld if use in the context restricted to the national boundaries, the proposed recommendation should be the form of the Alföld with the prefix which according to the country which taking a part of the pointed segment (i.e., in case of Serbia - it should mention: Serbian segment of the Alföld). The southern boundary of the Alföld is well defined. It is same as SE part of the Pannonian Plain. The south parts of the Alföld encompass the Lower Sava Plain (Donja Posavina), the Tamnava-Kolubara plain, the Velika Morava Plain (Pomoravlje) and the Mlava Plain.
