The eco standards of 21th century make it necessary to develop and implement human and nature-oriented activities for sustainable management of forest resources. Technically designated forestry activities should contribute to the protection of biodiversity, ecosystems, and habitats through environmentally friendly operations, while meeting the public demands for wide range of forest products and services within sustainable limits of the forest ecosystems. There is no doubt that environmentally friendly approaches are necessary for implementing reduced impact forest operations in the field of forest engineering. Besides, forest operation activities provide important sources of income and job opportunities and help enhancing life of rural populations in many countries. Although these activities provide many economic benefits, a wide variety of workplace hazards present risks to the health and safety of people at workplace. Therefore, not only technically appropriate and economically profitable but also environmentally sound and socially acceptable forest operation practices should be promoted to ensure the continued satisfaction of human needs for present and future generations. 2nd International Symposium of Forest Engineering and Technologies (FETEC 2019): “Human and Nature Oriented Forest Engineering” was held on 4-6 September 2019 at “Agricultural University of Tirana (AUT)” in the city of Tirana, Albania. The symposium co-organizers included IUFRO Division 3.01.00 and FETEC Platform. The aim of the symposium was to discuss the most recent scientific researches and professional works related to human and nature oriented perspective of forest engineering with attendance of international researchers, practitioners, and relevant shareholders. Participants of the event included the representatives of the Agricultural University of Tirana, Prof. Dr. Bahri Musabelliu, Rector of AUT, Dr. Ornela Çuçi, Deputy Minister in Ministry of Tourism and Environment, Administrator of AUT, Deputy Rectors of AUT, Prof.Dr Sulejman Sulce and Prof. Dr Remzi Keca, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Leonidha Peri, Dean, FFS, Ramadan Mujollari, Administrator of FFS, Prof. Dr. Abdullah E. Akay, Deputy Coordinator in UIFRO iii 2nd International Symposium of Forest Engineering and Technologies FETEC’19 04-06 September 2019, Tirana Division 3.01, Prof. Dr. H. Hulusi Acar as representative of FETEC, as well as researchers from Albania and various countries such as: Turkey, Germany, Japan, Montenegro, and Kosovo. On behalf of the organizing committee, Prof. Dr.H.

After welcoming speech from the rectorate of AUT, faculty and ministry, the symposium continued with plenary, technical sessions, where 39 oral papers and 5 poster were presented.

  • Development of Environmental Code of Conduct in Dajti National Park
    DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CODE OF CONDUCT IN DAJTI NATIONAL PARK Sindi Lilo1, Raimonda Totoni2 1Department of Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Polytechnic University of Tirana, ALBANIA, e-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematical Engineering and Physical Engineering, Polytechnic University of Tirana, ALBANIA, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Dajti National Park is one of the main Natural National Parks in Albania. This Protected Area is situated in the East of Tirana and covers an area of 29217 ha. Dajti National Park is very important on local, national and regional level, for its biodiversity, landscape, recreational and cultural values. Among others it is considered as a live museum of the natural vertical structure of vegetation. The heritage, traditions on ethnography, music, cooking, hospitality etc, unique on Central Albania region, are some other local cultural values that from centuries runs in compliance with natural richness. Unfortunately, for more than 20 years, because of the demographic changes and human stresses caused by it, the National Park values are threatened and reduced by uncontrolled human activity. Forest fires, erosion, inappropriate solid waste disposal, etc. can be counted between main negative impacts caused by human intervention in the area. Unplanned tourism and missing of an appropriate and integrated management is threatening the remained values of this important site. In this condition developing and adopting of Environmental Code of Conduct in Dajti Park is necessary and would contribute in development of ecotourism as an important tool for conservation of natural and cultural resource and for sustainable development. This Code consists on definition of the framework for protection of natural and human values instead of their overexploitation for short term purposes.
