ACCESS TO SERVICES IN RURAL AREAS KARTONIERT (TB)

The Berlin Wall  the symbol of the divided continent of Europe collapsed almost a quarter
century ago. In the one and a half decades since the fall of the Iron Curtain   the European
Union has expanded significantly and essentially the borders between these states ceased to
exist. However  this historically created divide between east and west within the European
Union in many ways remained. Access to Help in Rural Areas provides the reader important
information concerning the condition of the local organization of social services (LOSS) and
how citizens access them daily in two relatively underprivileged regions of two different
countries in the eastern and still relatively divided part of the EU. The book not only
provides the outcomes of the two country regional surveys  it shows the juridical background
and public administration of the LOSS and their alterations  particularly with respect to the
effects of the crisis. This research is a harbinger of continued and expanded international
research built upon twenty years of scientific collaboration within the LOSS program. In both
countries  government officials are responsible for arranging social and health care services
and promoting the wellbeing of the citizens. Although there are differences between the areas
of Northern Hungarian Great Plain and Northern Finland  continued research cooperation would
likely open new opportunities for developing services and safeguarding the wellbeing of people
living in Hungary and Finland. Research cooperation would generate new knowledge about how
citizens experience wellbeing  the phenomena as both a regional and temporary process  and
finally about welfare services themselves and the potential for application of technology to
safeguard services.
