GrenzgebieteBorder Regions (Grenzgebiete): political districts along the national border or in the immediate vicinity thereof, so defined by the ÖROK (Österreichische Raumordnungskonferenz). They cover about 51 % of the surface area of Austria and are home to about 36 % of the population. Border Regions in Austria are very diverse: in the eastern provinces they are limited to peripheral regions, in the western provinces they also include centrally located areas. Literature: ÖROK, Die Grenzgebiete Österreichs, Vienna 1975.
