    ISSN2039Ͳ9340MediterraneanJournalofSocialSciencesVol.3(10)July2012 Society under Sustainable Developments Prospective in District of Elbasan, Albania Evisa Duka PhD Candidate “A.Xhuvani”University Elbasan,Albania Faculty of Education Email:[email protected] Abstract: The purpose of this proposed session is to introduce the status of sustainable development in my country Albania, bringing in attention sustainable development and society in a very symbolic district of the Country, the Elbasan district. Under the Global Millenniums Goals, the society across the world is ambitiously exercising principles of sustainable development, linking economy, society and environment toward a better wellbeing for future generations. Sustainable development principles require societal actions beyond borders of states, political and economy sectors, as well as of the generations and societal diversities.What is the Albanian contribution with regards to the Earth Summit Challenges, while it is fully integrating in the regional and global processes under the freedoms of market economy? Through my paper I will introduce the status of sustainable development in my country Albania, bringing in attention sustainable development and society in a very symbolic district of the Country, the Elbasan district, pointing out local societies both as contributors and beneficiaries in the process. I will present district natural and human resources under the sustainable prospective, while a lot of work needs to be done in order to prevent the very critical environmental condition along the city or periphery due to former metallurgy activity in the district. The role of society is indispensable in the process, while bottom up initiatives must push local and central governments to design and implement budgets fostering a sustainable development.

Since its establishment in 2005, the network of organizations in CDO has grown to include dozens of members. CDO considers the observation of electoral processes by citizen groups as the most appropriate instrument for ensuring transparency, integrity and credibility of elections. CDO strongly believes that engaging citizens in following electoral processes does more than just promote good elections. Empowering citizens to observe the electoral process, among other things, helps to ensure greater accountability of public officials. The leading organizations of CDO - the Society for Democratic Culture, KRIIK Albania and the For Women and Children Association - are three of the most experienced domestic groups. In fulfillment of the philosophy of action, these organizations announce relevant actions depending on the electoral or institutional process to be followed. All interested civil society organizations are invited to join the action, thus CDO re-assesses periodically, openly, and in a transparent manner the best values of network functioning.

Most of them have been discovered and exploited from ancient times up to date. There are also other deposits for which a careful study and evaluation of geological reserves should be conducted. II.1. A General Overview in Mining Industry Albania is a country rich in mineral resources. Mineral exploration, exploitation and processing constitute a key component of the Albanian economy, due to a traditional mining industry, that has been a solid foundation to the country economic sector, generating substantial revenues. Chrome, copper, iron-nickel and coal, are some of the minerals mined and treated in Albania. Mining industry development in Albania has passed through three main stages: The first stage includes the period up to the end of World War II, marked by two important events. In 1922, has been compiled the first Geological Map of Albania, which was even the first of its kind in the Balkans. In 1929 has been approved the first Mining Law of the Albanian Kingdom, which paved the way to the exploration and/or exploitation of mineral resources in Albania; The second stage (1944-1994), marks the period when the mining activity has been organized in state-owned enterprises and the concept of mining privatization did not exist.

Dr. ,University: "Aleksander Xhuvani", Elbasan-Albania Enkelejda Balla Msc., University: "Aleksander Xhuvani", Elbasan – Albania Abstract Our study aims to highlight one of the most important aspects of the Elbasan Prefecture, the educational aspect during 1925-1928. In order to analyze the education during the mentioned years, the attention and tradition and educational environment of Elbasan had to be considered during the earlier periods since the Ottoman conquest. The historical educational experience culminated in the opening of the "Normal" School in 1909, the first high school that trained and prepared teachers' teachers for the Albanian language; experience and educational achievements of 1920-1924, years in which education was given priority on the basis of the principles of massivization, nationalization, secularization and unification. Given this educational tradition even during the years we have been studying, the Prefecture of Elbasan has taken important steps in Education. In the educational development of Elbasan, the intellectual elite and educated teachers in the West, Austria and Italy, etc., who together with their scientific formation brought together the Elbasan City and the educational experience of the countries of who came. Problems, the level of primary and secondary education, the difficulties in the education system, the lack of school buildings and funds for opening and maintaining them, the education of women in special schools by males, and the charitable activity of elbasanas in terms of education, the school of education of the children of the region are some of the aspects that we have included in our study.
