Spatial unit (Upper Austria)
The Austrian state of Upper Austria is divided into 41 spatial units . They form the basis for spatial planning and spatial planning according to NaLa - models for nature and landscape in Upper Austria, which the nature conservation department develops for the Upper Austrian provincial government.
function
The spatial units are delimited from one another according to nature conservation criteria such as geology , geomorphology and spatial use ( settlement , agriculture, etc.).
Each room unit represents a landscape space with recurring room patterns and peculiarities and differs significantly from the adjacent room units. Sometimes room units consist of one or more sub-units that have a special characteristic. They have nothing in common with the political and historical structure.
The spatial units (= landscape areas) were determined for the first time in 1999 by the nature conservation department of the province of Upper Austria in cooperation with specialist experts for nature conservation . Since then, however, changes have been made repeatedly to the characteristics of the areas due to new findings. The current structure is specified in version 7 of September 2007.
Space delimitation parameters
The following parameters were examined for the room delimitation:
- Geological subsoil and soils
- Relief (sets the tone, especially in the case of large river landscapes that are significantly deepened)
- Climatic conditions
- Water system and biotope areas
- Settlement structure and infrastructure
- Agricultural forms of use, farm structures
- Forest characteristics (especially in large forest areas)
- Structural elements of the landscape, primeval landscape character
- Animal and plant ecological aspects
- Spatial and landscape history including special features (cultural-historical and natural history)
Goals of the NaLa
Based on the parameters of the room units, NaLa was created in 1999 - a model for nature and landscape in Upper Austria that is constantly being further developed. NaLa are defined goals of nature conservation on the basis of the spatial units and represent a development to be striven for for the entire spatial unit. In all spatial units, general goals were formulated and implementation options indicated ( "Paths to the goal" ).
The contents of the NaLa are not prescribed by law, but serve as a basis for nature conservation work and as information for all interested parties.
