The concept of landscape protection areas in Styria was based on the Reich Nature Conservation Act , most recently in a version from 1956. At that time, the unspecific category comprised a large number of functions, including in particular the “preservation of the Styrian house landscape types ”. With the creation of the state development program and modern, management- oriented nature conservation (according to the IUCN ), the category was subjected to a revision at the end of the 2000s. For this purpose, the “actual protection purpose” of the individual areas was formulated more precisely and legally anchored. The Administrative Court had previously objected to this lack in a decision. There were some fine and new delimitations. In addition, some areas were deleted from the directory that represented an "incomprehensible" "arbitrary peeling of individual parts of the landscape, the characteristics of which apply in the same way to the entire large landscape". These areas were also adequately covered by other protective measures ( regional planning law , forestry law , various other ex lege protection ). Changes also arise with regard to Natura 2000 areas (European protected areas according to § 13a NschG 1976), which meanwhile also represent a category under state law (so that in some cases only one designation category would be necessary), and plans, the successful modern class of biosphere reserves also in the To set up Styria.
