Compte-Rendu: L'Autriche, à travers l'ÖROK-Atlas
Bernard Rouleau · 1990
This article introduces the fifth edition of the Atlas of Spatial Development in Austria (ÖROK-Atlas), published by the Austrian Conference on Spatial Planning. The current edition comprises 95 map sheets, with 8 new ones added in 1987. The maps are presented in a landscape format of 297×630 mm, with most at a scale of 1:1,000,000. They feature vivid colors and are accompanied by excellent explanatory texts and statistical data tables. The themes covered include population change, labor and employment, industry, housing, commerce, water management, and natural environments, with particular attention given to maps on nature protection regulations and housing. Although still incomplete, this collection already constitutes a highly valuable and recent documentary source on Austria, deserving our full attention.
Zum Stand der Atlaskartographie in Österreich
Ingrid Kretschmer · 1991
This article reviews the state of atlas cartography in Austria, focusing on developments from the 1980s to the early 1990s. It begins by noting that since the completion of the 'Atlas of the Republic of Austria' in 1980, a decade of significant change had occurred in Austrian atlas production. This atlas, edited by Hans Bobek over twenty years, comprised 127 map sheets and 309 main and supplementary maps, and its synthetic approach ensured its continued relevance. A 1986 supplement updated topics such as population change and socio-economic structure. The article then discusses major projects: the ongoing work and completion of the 'Atlas of the Danubian Countries' (1989), and the initiation of new works like the 'ÖROK Atlas on Spatial Development in Austria' (from 1983) and the 'Planning Atlas for Vienna' (from 1983). It also covers specialized atlases, including the 'Geochemical Atlas of Austria' and the 'Atlas of Eastern and Southeastern Europe' (from 1989). In school cartography, the article examines revisions and innovations in Austrian school atlases during the 1980s, particularly adaptations to new curricula. Finally, it highlights the impact of technological advances, noting that from the mid-1980s, digital techniques began to influence Austrian cartography, transforming traditional methods. Overall, Austrian atlas cartography remained dynamic from the 1980s to the early 1990s, completing major works while embracing new directions and digital trends.
Compte-Rendu: Un nouveau complément de documentation cartographique sur Autriche
Bernard Rouleau · 1991
This article presents a new series of maps from the Atlas of the Evolution of Austrian Space (ÖROK-Atlas), published in Vienna in 1988. The sixth installment comprises eleven map plates in an oblong format of 297 × 630 mm, at scales of 1:1,000,000 or 1:500,000, accompanied by commentary texts and statistical data. Themes covered include: projected variations in household numbers by municipality from 1971 to 2001 (four maps); employment numbers and their evolution from 1991 to 2001 under optimistic and pessimistic scenarios; a labor market balance incorporating net migration for 1981-2001 (four maps); mining and forestry exploitation difficulty by region (large-format map); average annual growth rate of net domestic product by region for 1971-1986; railway traffic conditions (track gauge, speed, speed limits in 1988-89, and passenger traffic capacity and speed by section in 1989-90); Austria's hydrological and hydrogeological regime; water quality and pollution levels of Austrian rivers; and the 1985-88 forest inventory, using an original dot-matrix expression with colors modulated by forest degradation degree. The author concludes that this set of original themes undeniably strengthens the atlas's value as a documentation source on Austria, particularly regarding its evolution prospects over the next two decades.
