SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF SOCIAL INNOVATION POTENTIAL IN DISADVANTAGED AREAS: THE CASE OF TWO HUNGARIAN COUNTIES

Social innovation has emerged as a strategic tool to foster development in disadvantaged areas. The study analyzes the spatial distribution and temporal changes of social innovation potential and its link to population dynamics in two disadvantaged Hungarian counties. Using indicators classified into input, output, and impact categories, a composite index was constructed for municipalities over three census years (2001, 2011, 2022). Moran I statistics and clustering tested spatial dependence of social innovation potential and the relationship between clusters and migration balance. Findings show positive spatial autocorrelation weakened over time. A strong link exists between social innovation potential and migration balance, with innovative settlements showing lower outmigration. Uploaded in connection with the maps (Figures 2 and 3) are the values of the components of social innovation potential, as well as the maps themselves. The database also includes, in relation to Figure 4, the migration balance for the years under study, presented by clusters. In addition to the TIF files, the ZIP folder also contains Excel files.社会创新已成为助力欠发达地区发展的战略工具。本研究聚焦匈牙利两个欠发达县域，分析了社会创新潜力的空间分布、时序变化特征，及其与人口动态的关联。研究采用划分为投入、产出与影响三类的指标，针对2001年、2011年、2022年三次人口普查年份的各自治市构建了综合指数。通过莫兰I（Moran I）统计量与聚类分析，检验了社会创新潜力的空间依赖性，以及聚类组别与人口迁移平衡间的关联。研究结果显示，正向空间自相关性随时间推移有所减弱；社会创新潜力与人口迁移平衡间存在显著关联，具备创新能力的自治市外流人口规模更低。 随图2、图3一同上传的内容包括社会创新潜力各组成项的数值，以及地图文件本身。本数据库还配套提供了与图4相关的、按聚类组别划分的研究时段人口迁移平衡数据。 除TIF格式文件外，该ZIP压缩包内还包含Excel格式文件。
