WORLD REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY- AUSTRIA
Population/migration/Demographics
Austria is an open economy situated in Europe, which makes it an entryway between Europe’s cultural and economic regions. Austria covers the area from the Eastern Alps extensively to Danube Basin plans. In 2015, the population in Austria totals to 8.557,000 with a surface area of 84,000 square kilometres. Austria borders eight countries namely; Germany, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, and Liechtenstein.
From the last official Census that was conducted in 2011, the population then was at 8.421 million. In the past ten years, this is an increase of approximately 5%. Even looking at the previous years, the population has been increasing steadily resulting in high urbanization. The urbanization has been caused specifically by age-specific groups, especially those from 18-26 years. They move to the central cities to grab the educational and vocational opportunities. The population growth is attributed to international migration since statistical adjustments, and birth surpluses contributed small increases to the overall growth CITATION Enc07 \l 1033 (Encyclopedia).
Since 1970, the population changes in Austria have always been determined by migratory movements. Births and deaths are largely balanced. Therefore, it could be said that population has been relatively increasing since 1970. However, immigration increased significantly from the 1990s, since new integration measures were brought up and the country joined the European Union, thus more borders opened upCITATION Ann05 \p 43 \l 1033 (Annesley 43).
Notably, more than 300,000 people came from Yugoslavia and other more than 300,000 from Turkey to Austria during and after the wars that occurred in those regions. These are the people who have been naturalized and today are Austrian citizens. Therefore, tracing the origin of the Austrians, Turkey and Yugoslavia are the two major origin regions CITATION Enc07 \l 1033 (Encyclopedia).
The future projections are that the total population of Austria will increase to 8.99 million by the year 2030, which will be a 7% growth and to 9.37 million by 2010, which will be an 11% growth. It is expected to be so because foreign migration to Austria is also expected to keep risingCITATION Mac02 \p 12 \l 1033 (MacHardy 12).
People are also leaving from Austria to other foreign countries such as the United States to look for better opportunities. Research shows that the Austrian immigrants in the United States have had a massive impact on the sciences, arts and even the culture of the state (Embassy).
Local and popular culture
Austria is known for a rich culture. The society has been greatly influenced by art, literature and music. Austrian culture is an assortment of fascinating customs and unparalleled traditions of classic music, a plethora of festive events as well as grand literature.
Music is the epitome of Austrian culture. Specifically Vienna, which is known for classical music and has been widely known as a centre for musical innovation. Music in Austria has a long and rich journey about culture. For instance, the western classical music is an origin from Austria. There was patronage offered to several composers and musicians by the early emperors and rulers. The Habsburgs were gifted musicians, which made them more generous towards the musicians and the music. Some of the music famous in Austria include; classical music, Yode, Landler, Alpine New Wave and Scrammelmusik (International travel tours).
Literature is inevitable in Austria. The country is the motherland of most of the well-known and great authors in the world. Austria has always been recognized for producing great writers, poets and novelists across the globe. Some of the popular authors from Austria include; Robert Musil, Felix Salten, Johann Nestroy and Peter Handke among others.
Graphic arts; Vienna has been the centre of fine arts. Ferdinand G. Waldmuller and Hans Makart were two realist painters, most famous in the nineteenth century. The Albertina Museum in the Vienna houses is a world-famous collection of drawings, watercolours, featuring prints and other graphic arts by artists such as da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rubens, Manet, Cezanne, Schiele and Modigliani (International travel tours).
Some of the local customs in Austria include formality in greetings, where a handshake represents the traditional greeting. Giving titles when referring to someone is also a sign of respect. Some of the dining customs include; arriving on time when invited for dinner because punctuality reflects respect. Also, one should dress conservatively and decently. The customs are many; this is just to mention a few (International travel tours).
Physical/Natural features
Austria is a beautiful country with several large attractive lakes, the rivers and streams in the country cover 100,000 kilometres, which have become an inhabitant for millions of fish and grazing land of about twenty-six percent. On the part of Flora, Austria has oak forests, wood grouse and spruce. 46% of the land, which is about 38059 square kilometres is devoted to forestry in the area. As a result, this has led to come back of species like deer, chamois, stork, crane, snipe, elk, bear, wolves, lynx, otter, wildcat, beaver, ern and vultures among others due to the conducive environment. Forestry in Austria ensures a continuous supply of timber and in turn a sustained flow of income for the owners. Besides, the forests host and protect sites and landscapes of recreational value that sustain the country as an attraction site for tourists. Forest products too are processed and traded, which adds value to the GDP of the country (Donald & Jacek 78).
Austria has oil, coal, lignite, timber, iron core, copper, magnesite, graphite, zinc, tungsten, antimony, hydropower, salt and others. Austria is a small country with diverse mineral resources. It is the largest producer of magnesite in the world.
Language, Religion, Politics
The widely used language in Austria is German, but the federal law has accorded some specific rights to the recognized dialectal minorities. The main native language is Austro-Bavarian that is spoken with the use of many different dialects. Alemannic is also spoken in Vorarlberg. There are many minority languages spoken in Austria such as Serbian, Turkish, Burgenland Croatian, Hungarian and SloveneCITATION Sul90 \p 69 \l 1033 (Melanie 69).
There is freedom of worship in Austria. The largest percentage of the Austrians are the Roman Catholic. However, most Austrians are Catholic by baptism and formality but they do not uphold the stringent Catholic beliefs. Another religion in Austria is the Protestantism and other foreign workers who are either Muslims, Jews or Serbian Orthodox (Melanie 70).
In Austria, religion and political affairs are closely linked. Austria is a Roman Catholic country and regardless of the existence of the Protestants, Jews and Muslims among others, their power to influence public morality is incomparable to that of the Roman Catholics. The church and the country are formally separate, but the Christian Democratic Party characterizes the welfare of the Roman Catholic Church in the affairs of the state (Cole, John and Erick).
Austria is a republic, which is democratically ruled. The laws originate from the people. It is a federal state encompassed with nine independent federal provinces. Vienna is the national capital, Burgenland, Lower Aus...
