It presents important data and findings, which were gathered and drawn by experts, with a long experience in the field of children's well-being and rights, working at “Save the Children” in Albania, the Department of Social Work and Policy of UT, the Department of Social Sciences and Education of MBU, who would like to express their gratitude to the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and to the 13-Regional Education Directorates for their support and facilitation in carrying out this survey. Moreover, we would like to thank the 2.335 children involved in the study throughout the 12 Albanian regions for their contribution in conducting the first survey of children's well-being in Albania. 4 “CHILDREN’S WORLD” - A NATIONAL SURVEY OF CHILDREN’S WELL-BEING Introduction This is the first report on the survey findings on Children's World, conducted in Albania during the year 2017-2018. This report aims to provide a short descriptive summary of conducting this survey, its content and main findings. The International Survey of Children's Well-being, Children's World, is a worldwide survey on the subjective well-being of children(www.isciweb.org). The aim of this study is to collect representative data about children's life and their daily activities, how they spend their free time and, in particular, their perceptions and judgment about well-being. The aim is to improve children's wellbeing by raising awareness among children, their parents, and communities where they live, as well as among leading actors, decision- makers, professionals and the public. This is an international, intercultural and multilingual survey, which studies children's worlds in as many countries as possible around the globe. This kind of exploration is essential for encouraging comparative work between countries, which currently are lagging behind in this field of study. A self-administered questionnaire has been developed in order to evaluate children's perceptions and judgments in middle childhood. This research project began in 2009, when a group of researchers, mainly from the International Society for Child Indicators, held a meeting supported by UNICEF to discuss the potential need for the survey. Since its conception and up to this day, 30 countries have joined the project worldwide. The context of children's life in Albania External factors Albania is an independent state in Southeast Europe. It lies on the southwest of the Balkan Peninsula and borders with Montenegro in the northwest, Kosovo in the northeast, the Republic of Macedonia in the west, and Greece in the south. The Adriatic and Ionian Seas lie in the west, and through the Otranto Channel, it is only 78 km away from Italy. Albania has a surface area of 28.748 km² and according to the 2011 Census, it has a population of approximately 2,821,977 inhabitants.1 Albania's Gross Domestic Product per capita was $4.125 in 2017.2 According to the EU progress report, 2017, Albania is moderately prepared in the area of financial services. Although, there has been a decrease in unemployment rate from 16% in 2016 to 14.3%, it still remains high.3 Inequality also remains high in Albania, as the GINI index was reported to be 29 for 2012, according to the development indicators collected by World Bank.4 According to the Living Standard Measurement Survey, the level of poverty as a direct expression of social exclusion has marked an increase of 14.3% in 2012, compared to 12.5% in

  • 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.

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.

  • The Cult of Personality: King Zog I and Enver Hoxha
    International Journal of Social and Educational Innovation (IJSEIro) Volume 3 / Issue 5/ 2016 The cult of personality: King Zog I and Enver Hoxha Artan Puto Faculty of History and Filology, University of Tirana, Albania [email protected] Mimoza Dhima Faculty of Foreign Languages, University of Tirana, Albania [email protected] Received 03.01.2016; Accepted 23.01. 2016 Abstract King Zog I (1895-1961), and the communist leader Enver Hoxha (1908-1985) were without doubt the most charismatic figures of the Albanian politics in the twentieth century, whose personal rule dominated the country and kept it under strict control. However, the cult of personality of the two leaders had of course their own features. They derived mainly from the specific historical periods where they lived and ruled, from the political system they represented and from the very character of the personage. Keywords: cult of personality, communist leader, nationalism, communism 1. Introduction Ahmet Zogu, the real name of the later King Zog I, was the undisputable master of the country from 1924 to 1939 when the Italian occupation put an end to the Albanian independence proclaimed in 1912. In 1925 Ahmet Zogu was elected President of Albania after a period of internal instability that continuously scourged the country since the end of the First World War in 1918. In 1928 he was self-proclaimed King Zog I with the consent of the Italians that wanted to secure through his rule their dominion in the country During his rule Albania made important achievements such as the attainment of the internal political stability and the building up of a state administration.
