  • Potentialanalyse Von Altstandorten Und Altlasten Im Mittleren Ennstal
    Potentialanalyse von Altstandorten und Altlasten im mittleren Ennstal Diplomarbeit zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades einer Magistra rer. nat. an der Karl-Franzens-Universität vorgelegt von Carina WOLF am Institut für Geographie und Raumforschung Begutachter: Mag. Dr. Wolfgang Fischer Graz, Mai 2016 Seite 1 von 118 Eidesstattliche Erklärung Ich erkläre hiermit eidesstattlich, dass ich die vorliegende Arbeit selbständig und ohne fremde Hilfe verfasst, andere als die angegebenen Quellen nicht benutzt und die den benutzten Quellen wörtlich oder sinngemäß entnommenen Stellen als solche kenntlich gemacht habe. Graz, Mai 2016 Seite 2 von 118 Hinweis: Für eine bessere Lesbarkeit wurde in dieser Diplomarbeit die männliche Form verwendet und explizit auf die geschlechterspezifische Schreibweise verzichtet. Es wird aber darauf hingewiesen, dass die verwendete männliche Form die Weibliche ebenso miteinbezieht. Seite 3 von 118 Vorwort Das Thema Flächenrecycling und Wiederbelebung von Altstandorten trat wieder in den Fokus der breiten Masse durch den medialen und politischen Rummel um die Reininghausgründe (Reininghausboard, 2015/2016). Doch bereits in den 1980iger Jahren hat man sich Gedanken zu diesem Thema gemacht. Das Altlastensanierungsgesetz ALSAG vereinheitlichte die Definitionen rund um dieses Thema (zum Beispiel Altablagerungen und Altstandorte) beziehungsweise den Umgang mit Altstandorten (Bundesministerium für Land- und Forstwirtschaft, 2016). Durch den sorglosen Umgang mit Altlasten, wie zum Beispiel das unsachgemäße Ablagern von Abfällen,

  • 3. Road Side Geology - from Vienna to Hallstatt Th
    FOREGS '99 - Dachstein-Hallstatt-Salzkammergut Region 3. Road side geology - from Vienna to Hallstatt Th. HOFMANN & H.G. KRENMAYR 3.1. Bus tour Vienna - Gmunden The Westautobahn (Highway A1) runs from Vienna, the capital of Austria, in a western direction towards the Austrian-German Border. The Highway connects from east to west the federal countries of Lower Austria, Upper Austria and Salzburg. The main cities which can be reached by the A1 are Vienna, where the Highway starts, then St. Polten, the capital of Lower Austria, Linz, the Capital of Upper Austria and Salzburg, the capital of the federal county of Salzburg. Tectonic overview Geologically the A1 runs more or less parallel to the east-west striking tectonic units of the alpine orogenetic belt. Nevertheless some main tectonic units are crossed on the way from Vienna to Salzburg. In Vienna the A1 starts at the eastern border of the Vienna Basin, then crosses the complex nappe system of the Rhenodanubian Flyschzone, which was overthrusted over the Molassezone, which is the next zone in a western direction. Then some parts of the southern Bohemian Massif are crossed including the Diendorf Fault - one of the greatest fault systems in the outer Alpine regions of Austria. From the western parts of Lower Austria onwards the A1 runs within the Molassezone. Sometimes the Flyschzone comes very close to the Highway, as well as the Northern Calcareous Alps which also are close to the highway, especially near Salzburg. For the western part of the A1, especially in Upper Austria and Salzburg, the A1 passes various accumulations (Terraces, ...) of the glaciers which existed in the Alps during the Pleistocene.

  • Austria - the World Factbook
    Austria - The World Factbook https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/austria/ Explore All Countries — Austria Europe INTRODUCTION Background Once the center of power for the large Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria was reduced to a small republic after its defeat in World War I. Following annexation by Nazi Germany in 1938 and subsequent occupation by the victorious Allies in 1945, Austria's status remained unclear for a decade. A State Treaty signed in 1955 ended the occupation, recognized Austria's independence, and forbade unification with Germany. A constitutional law that same year declared the country's "perpetual neutrality" as a condition for Soviet military withdrawal. The Soviet Union's collapse in 1991 and Austria's entry into the EU in 1995 have altered the meaning of this neutrality. A prosperous, democratic country, Austria entered the EU Economic and Monetary Union in 1999.

These settlements not only had infrastructural or centralizing functions but also provided opportunities for as well as constraints on the coexistence of several groups with specific qualities, forms and practices of belonging, togetherness, and solidarity.1 Within the Visions of Community project (viscom), we investigate various forms of identification and belonging in different settings of coexistence and thus ask to what extent dense settle- ments like European urban communities or South-Arabian non-urban sites can be considered as communities.2 We are aware that we are comparing com- munities under different legal, economic, religious, political, and also social conditions. But we are also interested in developing shared criteria to establish how and by what means these forms of settlement provided the framework for the formation of coexisting but also conflicting groups in late medieval times.3 In this paper I first want to examine the legal basis on which cities in the Holy Roman Empire can be typologically understood as urban communities. Civic rights and duties, confirmed by a civic oath, had long been held to be the most significant elements of formal belonging which entitled a person to par- ticipate in this thus politically defined type of community.
