The aim of the project which has been carried through in cooperation with Interkulturelles Zentrum (Intercultural Center, IZ), the Danube University Krems and the ÖAR Regional Consulting was to draft guidelines for integration policy and to develop measures for the Federal Land of Lower Austria.
The part of the project covered by the Institute of Conflict Research consisted, on the one hand, of collecting and interpreting structural data on integration-relevant areas (i. e. schooling, employment, housing, naturalisation, demographic data in general) to provide a basis for the process of framing measures and drafting guidelines for integration in Lower Austria. With a view to gathering relevant information also at the regional level, these data have, whenever possible, also been provided for districts of lower Austria.
Beyond this, the process of framing measures and drafting guidelines has been evaluated in diverse steering and working groups (including different stakeholders in the field with and without migration background). Methodically, the evaluation is based on standardised records of these meetings. To the extent permitted by this (written) material, conclusions have been drawn concerning the guideline drafting process, for example its participatory structure.
