  • Austrian Ombudsman Board Annual Report 2018 on the Activities of the Austrian National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) Protection & Promotion of Human Rights
    Austrian Ombudsman Board Annual Report 2018 on the activities of the Austrian National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) Protection & Promotion of Human Rights Preface This report documents the activities of the National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) in 2018. More than 500 monitoring visits were carried out, most of them in public and private institutions and facilities where the freedom of individuals is restricted. The responsible ministries, supervisory authorities and the affected institutions and facilities were informed about the results of the visits in detail. The NPM also strongly advocated in the year under review that the identified deficits should be rectified as quickly as possible. A large number of presentations and information events were held with the goal of raising public awareness and placing the protection of human rights on a broad basis. International cooperation was further intensified above and beyond these nationwide activities. All of these measures have a common objective: they serve to protect persons from being treated in an inhuman or degrading manner. Human dignity is at considerable risk in places where persons’ liberty is deprived in particular, such as in correctional institutions, police detention centres or retirement and nursing homes. Persons living in such places have little chance to be heard, as they have only limited contact to the outside world. To a large extent, they are at the mercy of the staff of the respective institution or facility or they are, at least, in a dependent position. This inevitably leads to precarious situations. The essence of the preventive mandate is to detect these risks as early as possible and to help in avoiding maladministration before it occurs.

  • S-GRA2 Mobility
    Rural-Urban Outlooks: Unlocking Synergies (ROBUST) ROBUST receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 727988.* August 2018 Federal Institute for Mountainous and Less-Favoured Areas Lisa Bauchinger [email protected] Snapshot: Expressions of Urban – Peri-Urban – Rural Relationships Analysing regional mobility in the Metropolitan Area of Styria Metropolotian Area of Styria, Austria 1. Brief Description The three-year INTERREG Central Europe project “Peripheral Access” (2017 – 2020) involves nine partners from seven European countries with regional case studies in each of these countries, including the Metropolitan Area of Styria in Austria. The main objective of the project is to improve mobility patterns in rural areas. In order to achieve this goal, the project focuses on integrating transport modes through multimodal mobility points, new ways to employ Intelligent Technology Systems (ITS) and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in transport and smart mobility. Moreover, it aims to enhance institutional cooperation between transport authorities and to implement cross-border marketing approaches. Therefore, each partner region conducts an analysis of the status quo of the regional mobility patterns for further development of the supply and the comparability of case study regions. The first progress-report of the case study (Verkehrsplus 2018) serves as the basis for this rapid appraisal of project approach and findings. The analysis of the mobility patterns in the Metropolitan Area of Styria concentrates on the peripheral areas of the region, in the districts Graz-Umgebung (surrounding area of Graz) and Voitsberg. The city of Graz is included only indirectly by analysing the transport links from and out of the city.

  • START up INFORMATION City/Partnership Metropolitan Area
    START UP INFORMATION City/Partnership Metropolitan Area Styria – Graz & Surroundings Contact Dr. Bernd Gassler, Metropolitan Area Styria; [email protected] Project Urban – Rural Cooperation Cooperation Thematic Area Concrete Challenge Faced Mobility, Land use management The main challenges are to overcome the urban sprawl, to avoid sealing, to minimize emission and to promote sustainable and alternative mobility solutions. Because of demographic challenges (population decline in the periphery areas and population growth in the urban and suburban areas) the region must ensure appropriate measures. SHORT SUMARY OF THE CITY’S CONTEXT The functional, economic and demographic centre of Styria is known as its “metropolitan area” and is characterized by both urbanity and rural areas. It includes the City of Graz and the districts Graz-Surrounding & Voitsberg. With its 52 municipalities it covers about 1.900 km². Approximately 487.000 inhabitants live in the region, this leads to an average population density of 257 IN/km2 (City of Graz included). Regarding the single values in the two districts Voitsberg and Graz-Umgebung, the population density varies from 20 IN/km2 in very rural areas to 100 IN/km2 in peripheral-rural and 600 IN/km2 in (sub)-urban municipalities in the south of Graz. Beside the City of Graz there are two sub centres in the western part of the area: the cities Koeflach & Voitsberg. Referring to the geographical framework, the area is embedded in the south eastern alpine foothills, not far from the border between Austria and Slovenia. The northern and eastern transition zone of the city region of Graz is affected by a relatively abrupt switchover from urban to rural areas once from a topographic and twice from a functional point.

Ich bin Einzelkämpferin. Warum Erfolg meist größer wird, wenn frau ihn teilt. Marlene (39) hat sich vor drei Jahren ihren beruflichen Wunsch erfüllt: Sie produziert und vertreibt ihre eigene Bio- Naturkosmetik. Renate (43) hat den landwirtschaftlichen Betrieb ihrer Eltern übernommen. Ihre Leidenschaft sind Kräuter. Schon seit mehreren Jahren züchtet sie Kräuter, stellt Kräutermischungen zusammen und verkauft sie in ihrem Hofladen. Marlene: „Der Verkauf meiner Produkte läuft eigentlich ganz gut. Die Kundinnen und Kunden wollen aber immer etwas Neues. Mir fehlt die Zeit für Recherchen und zusätzlichen Ausbildungen, um ständig etwas Neues und qua- litativ Hochwertiges zu entwickeln.“ Obwohl Marlene und Renate aus derselben Region stammen, kennen sie sich nicht.

  • Austrian National Preventive Mechanism (NPM)
    Annual Report on the activities of the Austrian National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) 2018 Protection & Promotion of Human Rights Annual Report 2018 on the Activities of the Austrian National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) Protection & Promotion of Human Rights Preface This report documents the activities of the National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) in 2018. More than 500 monitoring visits were carried out, most of them in public and private institutions and facilities where the freedom of individuals is restricted. The responsible ministries, supervisory authorities and the affected institutions and facilities were informed about the results of the visits in detail. The NPM also strongly advocated in the year under review that the identified deficits should be rectified as quickly as possible. A large number of presentations and information events were held with the goal of raising public awareness and placing the protection of human rights on a broad basis. International cooperation was further intensified above and beyond these nationwide activities. All of these measures have a common objective: they serve to protect persons from being treated in an inhuman or degrading manner. Human dignity is at considerable risk in places where persons’ liberty is deprived in particular, such as in correctional institutions, police detention centres or retirement and nursing homes. Persons living in such places have little chance to be heard, as they have only limited contact to the outside world. To a large extent, they are at the mercy of the staff of the respective institution or facility or they are, at least, in a dependent position. This inevitably leads to precarious situations.
