  • Women's and Gender History in Central Eastern Europe, 18Th to 20Th Centuries
    Forthcoming in: Irina Livezeanu, Arpad von Klimo (eds), The Routledge History of East Central Europe since 1700 (Routledge 2015) Women‘s and Gender History1 Krassimira Daskalova and Susan Zimmermann Since the 1980s, historians working on East Central Europe, as on other parts of the world, have shown that historical experience has been deeply gendered. This chapter focuses on the modern history of women, and on gender as a category of analysis which helps to make visible and critically interrogate ―the social organization of sexual difference‖2. The new history of women and gender has established, as we hope to demonstrate in this contribution, a number of key insights. First, gender relations are intimately related to power relations. Gender, alongside dominant and non-dominant sexualities, has been invoked persistently to produce or justify asymmetrical and hierarchical arrangements in society and culture as a whole, to restrict the access of women and people identifying with non-normative sexualities to material and cultural goods, and to devalue and marginalize their ways of life. Second, throughout history both equality and difference between women and men have typically resulted in disadvantage for women. Men and women have generally engaged in different socio-cultural, political and economic activities, and this gender-based division of labor, which has itself been subject to historical change, has tended to put women in an inferior position. Even when women and men appeared as equals in one sphere of life, this perceived equality often resulted in drawbacks or an increased burden for women in another area and women‘s contribution was still devalued as compared to men‘s.

Here’s how Vienna turned a series of major economic and geopolitical challenges to its advantage. Introduction In the mid-1980s, when Vienna presented its first urban development plan, the city government expected the population to decline and foresaw serious challenges for its urban economy. However, geopolitical transformations prompted a fresh wave of immigration to Vienna, so the city needed to adapt fast and develop new initiatives. A new spirit of urban development emerged. Vienna’s remarkable migration-driven growth took place in three phases: • first, the population grew rapidly between 1989 and 1993 • then it grew again between 2000 and 2006 • and finally from 2010 until today the population has been growing steadily and swiftly, by on average around 22,000 people per year • This means an addition of nearly 350,000 inhabitants since 1989.

  • Open Government Data Austria - Organisation, Procedures and Uptake
    Open Government Data Austria - Organisation, Procedures and Uptake Johann Höchtl, Peter Parycek, Center for E­Governance, Danube University Krems, Dr. Karl­Dorrek­Straße 30, 3500 Krems, Austria. {johann.hoechtl|peter.parycek}@donau­uni.ac.at Brigitte Lutz, Office of the CIO City of Vienna, Rathausstraße 8, 1010 Vienna, Austria. [email protected] Stefan Pawel, City of Linz, project manager of OPEN COMMONS_LINZ, Gruberstraße 42, 4020 Linz, Austria. [email protected] Abstract. Open Government Data in Austria is characterized by a collaboration of the willing and capable, as well as direct community involvement which happens at various levels along the data publication line. Early and direct community involvement is regarded as one substantial key success factor of OGD in Austria. This paper describes some of the noteworthy measures to spark open data usage as well as first visible effects of changed administrative and external processes and procedures since the inception of OGD. Organisation of Open Government Data in Austria Unlike the administrations of the UK, the USA or France, there is no pro­active freedom of information law which would govern the release of Open Government Data (OGD) in Austria. At the time when the EU directive on the re­use of public sector information of 2003 got implemented into national law, no single portal provided access to information of the public administration. In short, when the OGD movement was brought from bottom­up to the administration, no good practice was in place how legally or organisational­wise should be dealt with requests for data. While there is a long­lasting tradition in Austria of legally framed eGovernment, concerns were raised that for OGD to be effective, a much faster pace of development and less formalisation than currently would be necessary.

  • SEA WP07 Austria Case Study/03.06.2009/Page 2/17
    J&E Workplan 2007: SEA infrastructure CASE STUDY Clemens KONRAD, Thomas ALGE, OEKOBUERO December 2007 Introducing remark: Please focus in particular on questions 14 to 17. 1. Title of planning case: S8 Marchfeld expressway (Morava-field expressway; Vienna - Bratislava) 2. Matter of case: March river “Morava” is a river at the Austrian-Slovak boarder flowing from the Czech Republic to Bratislava. The meaning of “Marchfeld” is “Morava-field”. The Marchfeld is the flat-landed region between Vienna and Bratislava north of the Danube. This area is also called the “Austrian granary” (including vegetables and fruits) since the regional soil is very fertile and the environment in general is very fruitful. According the Austrian Strategic Transport Assessment Act 1 a “strategic assessment” of the planning case is necessary before the beginning of construction work. This strategic transport assessment of the S8 Marchfeld expressway was carried out in summer 2005. In the view of the public and of non-governmental organizations in Austria, the implementation of the SEA- Directive in the transport sector is not in conformity with the Directive’s provisions. As a result in practice the SEA is often insufficient. One of the reasons is that the “strategic assessment” act has a broader focus than the assessment of environmental issues. SEA is only one of many other objectives (like economic growth, powerful transport network, competiveness of Austrian economy etc) of this act. The concrete project is part of a larger road network consisting of various highways and motorways (“Regionenring” – region ring) 2 which aims at the development of the transport infrastructure in eastern Austria, namely the region surrounding Vienna (the so-called “eastern region”).

  • Smart City Wien Framework Strategy Smart City Wien Framework Strategy Our City Has Been Smart for Several Generations
    Smart City Wien Framework Strategy Smart City Wien Framework Strategy Our city has been smart for several generations. Far-sighted, intelligent solutions for its daily life have made Vienna the city with the highest qual­ ity of life worldwide.This is clearly borne out by its drinking water supply or social housing construction activities. However, to maintain this high qual­ ity of life against the background of restricting conditions, it is necessary to strive for constant self-analysis and the development of new and innovative solutions – in brief: to reinvent oneself continuously, especially as climate change and increasingly scarce resources call for novel global approaches. With the Smart City Wien framework strategy,Vienna is charting its course towards becoming a “smart city”.This is a course that differs from the strat­ egies of other cities in one key respect: Vienna will not let anybody down. For Vienna, the integration of the social component into all areas is an essential element of its framework strategy. Climate-related and ecologi­ cal objectives and the improvement of the everyday realities of its citizens are assigned the same importance in Vienna. Cities are smart if all people living in them have access to the same degree of participation. The Smart City Wien framework strategy constitutes a milestone in the future development of the Austrian capital – a strategy designed to ensure that all Viennese will continue living in the world’s most liveable city even in the coming decades.

Preface Providing knowledge for better utilising the Danube’s potential In connection with the Rhine, the Danube is more and more developing into a main European traffic axis which ranges from the North Sea to the Black Sea at a distance of 3,500 kilometres, thereby directly connecting 15 countries via waterway. Some of the Danube riparian states show the highest economic growth rates amongst the states of Europe. Such an increase in trade entails an enormous growth of traffic in the Danube corridor and requires reliable and efficient transport routes. The European Commission has recognised that the Danube waterway may serve as the backbone of this dynamically growing region and it has included the Danube as a Priority Project in the Trans-European Transport Network Siim Kallas (TEN-T) to ensure better transport connections and economic growth.

Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Up until the end of World War I in 1918, Austria was a large empire consisting of a number of smaller states and ethnic groups, which was ruled for almost 750 years by the Hapsburg dynasty. Much of central Europe, including Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia once comprised Österreich, or the Eastern Empire, until the empire's dissolution. At various points during its history, the Austrian Empire also included parts of Poland, the Ukraine, Romania, and Italy. Today Austria is a small, German-speaking country in middle Europe. It is a federal republic, governed by two legislative bodies, a National Council and Federal Council. The president is its head of state, who appoints the chancellor, usually the leader of the majority party in the legislature, who serves as head of government. Austria joined the European Union in 1994, and currently it has a population of 8,100,000. Top: Austria and neighboring countries.
