LRVA-2022: Generated standard map representation of the special topic maps for ecological corridors in Austria for the forest development plan. The maps are automatically updated as soon as the data basis (=modification of ecological corridors or modification forest mask from the Federal Forest Research Centre /BFW) changes. Details see also end report available: https://docs.umweltbundesamt.at/s/AzZrHid6q9wkDDM. QGIS-Modell for the maps generation available here: https://docs.umweltbundesamt.at/s/CjTNNLzPEKbNWyX

In spring 2019, the NP Thayatal GmbH commissioned the Büro für Wildökologie und Forstwirtschaft e.U. (Office for Wildlife Ecology and Forestry) to prepare a wildcat corridor plan in the Wald- & Weinviertel in Austria and the districts of South Bohemia and South Moravia in the Czech Republic as part of the Interreg project MaGICLandscapes. For the study area in Austria and the Czech Republic, the habitat potential of the European wildcat is to be estimated in the form of a habitat model. Based on the habitat model, a corridor analysis will show the possible distribution routes of the cat. As a further step, a strategy and action plan will be developed to provide a basis for improving and expanding migration corridors and thus dispersal opportunities for the wildcat along the green infrastructure. Within the framework of the MaGICLandscapes project, the research results serve as a basis for the planning, construction and management of green infrastructure. For the National Park Thayatal, they serve as input for the further procedure in wildcat management and are taken into account in the wildcat population support concept.

Austrian Ecological Corridors - final version. Valued by the experts of the federal provinces. Prepared in the framework of the LE project "Habitat connectivity to safeguard biodiversity in Austria".

Modeling the course of the Alpen Kaparten corridor. Consists of the four Bottlenecks and additional core zones of wildlife in-betweeen them. Attributes: -101 - primarily core zone, buffered from centerline 250m to each side -102 - primarily border zone, buffered from core zone 150m -201 - secondary core zone, buffered from centerline 250m to each side -202 - secondary border zone, buffered from core zone 150m -112 - primarily, core - and borderzone are together, buffered 400m from the centerline on each side -0 - core zones of wildlife, big forested areas, only rough delineation

Expert designation of habitat corridors at local, regional and supraregional level. Client for the Pinzgau: Salzburg Provincial Government Department of Spatial Planning and Department of Nature Conservation, Salzburg Hunting Association, Pinzgau Regional Planning. Client for the Lungau, Pongau, Tennengau and Flachgau: Department of Spatial Planning and Department of Nature Conservation, Salzburg Hunting Association. Regional and supra-regional green corridors were included in the regional programs of the Pinzgau and decreed.

Note on location accuracy: Data sets do not have area-specific delineations and are not suitable to be intersected with the cadastre. Designation of habitat axes in Carinthia. GIS-based modeling with subsequent validation and final designation of migration axes by the "Büro für Wildökologie und Forstwirtschaft"

Zur Erfassung der Flächeninanspruchnahme und Versiegelung wurde von Bund, Ländern, Städten und Gemeinden das ÖROK-Monitoringmodell entwickelt und fachlich abgestimmt. Als Ergebnisse liegen seit 2025 wesentlich verbesserte, robuste Daten zur Flächeninanspruchnahme für Siedlungs- und Verkehrszwecke, Freizeit- und Erholungs-, Ver- und Entsorgungszwecke und Energieflächen, sowie Versiegelung und Baulandreserven vor. Diese Arbeiten sind Teil des laufenden österreichweiten operativen Monitorings, welches im Rahmen der ÖROK abgestimmt und vom Umweltbundesamt im Auftrag der ÖROK berechnet wird. Alle relevanten und regelmäßig aktualisierten öffentlichen Verwaltungsdaten von Bund und Ländern zur Bodenbedeckung und Landnutzung werden mit einbezogen und durch einen integrativen, räumlich expliziten Ansatz zusammengeführt. Gesamterhebungen werden aufgrund der Aktualisierungsintervalle der Datengrundlagen in einem drei-jährigen Zyklus durchgeführt. Aufgrund der Überlagerung unterschiedlicher Datensätze enthalten die Daten nach wie vor viele Splitterpolygone. Eine topologische Überarbeitung bzw. kartographische Generalisierung wurde nicht durchgeführt, da die primäre Verwendung des Datensatzes die statistische Auswertung ist.

LRVA-2022: Guideline for assessing the permeability of corridors. This guide provides assistance for the assessment of potential disturbance sources and conflicts of objectives within ecological corridors and should subsequently lead to a standardisation of expert assessments in the field of nature conservation. The guide contains the most important definitions, such as the minimum widths of ecological corridors or which objects represent an absolute barrier within a corridor. The guidelines were agreed upon and approved by renowned experts in the field of ecological corridors who have joined together in the Coordination Platform for Ecological Corridors in Austria.

The specific designation of supra-regional migration corridors for larger, preferably forest-bound wildlife is intended to ensure, improve and, if necessary, restore the functionality of a statewide biotope and habitat network.
