The Development of the Concept of “Public Space” in Tirana Eduina Zekaj Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania Abstract. The term “public space”, also known as urban space is a pretty old phrase, but was used as e concept with a clear definition during the modern era. The evolution of this term is well known in Tirana, because of its constant development especially in the recent projects. The first attempts started in 1914, but by that time there did not exist a real concept of the public space, which accordingly was affected by the citizens’ lifestyle. Public spaces in Tirana have changed a lot since then by recreating the concept of “public use”. There are many examples of squares, streets and parks which have gone through the process of change over the years and have affected people’s lives.

  • Albania X-Treme
    0 500 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 Albania X-treme Europe's former North Korea? The Balkans' India? It's difficult to describe colorful, turbulent and quickly changing Albania in a short way. One might say it's an extraordinary oasis in a rather conformist Europe. While before nearly undocumented, Albania only emerges in history when taking its stand against the Ottoman Empire under national hero Skanderbeg. After his death the alliance crumbled and during 500 years of Ottoman occupation the predominant religion changed to the Islamic faith. Only in few areas in the North, which we’re going to visit, the Catholic Church remained present, resisting every ruler and even Enver Hoxha’s regime. During the communist period, Albania was almost completely closed off from the rest of the world and this way preserved in an early 20th century state, only released to the public after the collapse of communism in the early 90s. Now, 20 years after its opening, Albania is calling the world to discover its natural glamour and authentic culture. No surprise that is was chosen the top country to visit in 2011 by Lonely Planet. This tour is created for very fit and experienced hikers who are up for the challenge of crossing Albania's Accursed Mountains from West to East on foot, while being able to enjoy stunning views and the famous highlanders' hospitality on an 8-day itinerary. Average daily walking time: 7 hours The itinerary covers the Albanian Alps, including the valleys of Kelmend, Shala and Valbona. It starts with picturesque mountain ranges around Lepushe and Nikc, takes you to the remote villages of Thethi and Valbona, continues with a boat ride over the scenic Lake Komani and ends in bustling Tirana.

    ISSN2039Ͳ2117MediterraneanJournalofSocialSciencesVol.3(7)April2012 Impact of "Normale" Educational Centre A Significant Factor in the Development of Education in Albania Dr. Jani Sota Faculty of Education University "Aleksander Moisiu", Durres Abstract: The history of education has valued preciously all people involved in it and has flourished into an educational function, teaching and learning of our thorough knowledge in its institutions - such as "Normale" Educational center that played an historic role in the Albanian language. Albanian normal schools have a record of long, difficult, but also glorious path. They were the main homes for generations of teachers and also the place where it was necessary to prepare the framework for education and awareness of the nation. Albanian teachers, in different periods of history had run the greatest risk of extinction of national culture and education. They planted the sound seeds by which had brought the essence of national awareness, which in a century struggle of unparalleled trials tried to revive education, science, culture and Albania. In the history of Albania teachers and veterans of teaching, wherever they worked and acted, played the leading role, contributed as they could with their valuable works, which undoubtedly served to their students, future teachers, in raising subsequently the national level of conscience for their learning and teaching. Key words: Normal school, education, culture, teacher-students, pedagogic thinking, Albanian territory. Introduction Albanian Normal School has a record of long, difficult, but glorious path. Its purpose was to prepare the necessary framework for education and awareness of the nation. Albanian teachers, in different periods of heavy and full of vicissitudes, did valuable work in the moments and the most crucial turning points and run the greatest risks of extinction of our national culture and education.
