Abstract

My study categorises the behaviour patterns of farming households and explores inherences between household and farming activities on the basis of a survey carried out in Heves County. As method for our research we chose the techniques of qualitative social research, the exploratory depth interview as tool of survey because it enables the moderated debate and guarantees the comparability of interviews. Three general development tendencies can be seen from the results of the survey: professionalization, stabilization and resignation. These adaptation forms can be divided into further categories. The professional farms for example have two categories: modernizers or updaters and the innovatives. On the basis of adaptation patterns of families the stabilization methods of farms can also be divided into two parts: those waiting out and the acceptors. The resignation from agricultural production as life style is basically the same as the submissive behaviour.
