Programme area
The
SI-AT programme area of the Slovenia-Austria border region covers 8 Slovenian
NUTS
3 regions (Gorenjska, Koroška, Savinjska, Podravska, Pomurska,
Osrednjeslovenska
, Goriška and Zasavska) and 8 Austrian NUTS 3 regions
(
Oststeiermark, West- and Südsteiermark, Graz, Östliche Obersteiermark,
Unterkärnten
, Klagenfurt-Villach, Oberkärnten and Südburgenland). This territory
covers
an area of 35,156 km² (SI: 14,130 km², AT: 21,026 km²) and a population of 3.4
million
inhabitants (SI: 1,69 million., AT: 1,72 million.). 10 of these regions (5 regions
on
each side) are directly bordering regions, the other regions are included due to
their
functional linkages and importance for the cross-border region. In the region
there
are 5 important urban agglomerations: Ljubljana, Maribor, Graz, Klagenfurt
and
Villach.
The
border between Slovenia and Austria stretches over 310 km and separates the
countries
from east to west. The western part of the border crosses sparsely
inhabited
high mountainous Alpine territory that further towards the east changes
into
more hilly landscapes, following the river Mura/Mur for about 30 km and
ending
at the tripoint marker of the Austrian, Hungarian and Slovenian borders.
