!!!Grenzgebiete Border Regions (Grenzgebiete): political districts along the national border or in the immediate vicinity thereof, so defined by the OeROK (Oesterreichische Raumordnungskonferenz). They cover about 51 % of the surface area of Austria and are home to about 36 % of the population. Border Regions in Austria are very diverse: in the eastern provinces they are limited to peripheral regions, in the western provinces they also include centrally located areas. !Literature OeROK, Die Grenzgebiete Oesterreichs, Vienna 1975. %%language [Back to the Austrian Version|AEIOU/Grenzgebiete|class='wikipage austrian'] %% [{FreezeArticle author='AEIOU' template='Lexikon_1995_englisch'}] [{ALLOW view All}][{ALLOW comment All}][{ALLOW edit FreezeAdmin}]
