Concerning the religion we can state that although about 78 percent of the population is Roman Catholic, there are eleven other officially recognized religions in Austria. Climate Austria's climate is generally moderate and mild but varies from the Alpine region to the eastern plain. Summer can be hot and long with average summer temperatures that range from 20°C to 30°C. The average winter temperatures are around 0°. Snow on the mountains in spring and autumn is not uncommon.

login Project details HERODOT - Using the Web in teaching geography Project action: MINERVA ID number: Project start: Duration: 12 months Project end: Theme(s): Networks and projects supporting the ODL community (theme explanations are available) Description: Summary: HERODOT aims at the provision of a web-based distance learning service for geography teachers. The main objective is the delivery of new means for teaching geography at secondary schools. In this project the need for Information Technologies in the education field will be addressed by using virtual media as a supplemental tool for geography teachers. Major outcomes and benefits of the HERODOT project are the concept of a European GEO-School-Web-Server ( http://geo.eduhi.at ) and the development of on-line-resources for geography teachers and students in various languages. However, each partner will be able using materials developed by the other European project partners. Specific Target Groups and Expected Benefits: Specific target groups and expected benefits: Trainers, managers, teachers and students; Their skills in the techniques and methods for ODL in geography will be enhanced in a European context. It is not possible to estimate an exact number of people who will benefit by HERODOT at this time, however it will amount from some hundreds up to a thousand during the first year and even more during the second year. It is believed that the scope of HERODOT will reach international recognition. However, a first step will be the development of a European-wide network.

Following annexation by Nazi Germany in 1938 and subsequent occupation by the victorious Allies, Austria's 1955 State Treaty declared the country "permanently neutral" as a condition of Soviet military withdrawal. Neutrality, once ingrained as part of the Austrian cultural identity, has been called into question since the Soviet collapse and Austria's increasingly prominent role in European affairs. A prosperous country, Austria joined the European Union in 1995 and the euro monetary system in 1999. TOP OF PAGE GEOGRAPHY Location: Central Europe, north of Italy and Slovenia

KK1: Imagining Cultural Landscapes. Perception and Image of Austrian Landscapes [Research focus and targets / Aesthetics Political Grammar Images of Areas Picture Postcards ... Staff The project ‚Imagining Cultural Landscapes‘ was completed in December 1997 and the results were presented to the public. Research focus and targets The project focused on ways of perception of landscapes and their cultural and social conditions. Different ideas and forms of understanding of landscape, especially as expressed in images and texts, were investigated. This included aesthetic questions and theories of the perception of nature and landscape as well as the development of models and different, sometimes competing demands on landscape. The discussion of the theoretical conceptual approach was based on the theory of knowledge. The level of the social and cultural construction of different forms of perception of landscape was treated in two ways: The first approach focused on political interrelations in the construction and functionalisation of landscape, while the second sociological theoretical approach to spatial images investigated the appreciation of landscape as implied in image constructions. The dimension of social communication of landscape perception was treated by using picture postcards. Another dimension containing very concrete social and political actions with consequences for landscape development was addressed by models for regions. The dimension of the experienced changes of landscape based on individual case studies in the micro-region was directly related to social and individual habitats.
