Le zone del cumulo rifiuti nel complesso metallurgico in Elbasan e nella miniera di Prrenjas, che occupano grandi superfici, fanno parte della vecchina industria pesante. Come conseguenza, l’inquinamento del suolo in queste zone constituisce una questione importante nei giorni d’oggi. La bonifica del suolo è un metodo per purificare e rivitalizzare il suolo usando piante iperacumulatori. Questo è il processo di rimozione dei contaminanti per proteggere sia la salute della popolazione che dell’ambiente. Lo scopo del nostro studio è di studiare il potenziale di Alyssum murale per estrarre metalli dai rifiuti di scarico. Due esperimenti sono stati condot- ti con lo stesso tratamento. Per ciascuna zona di cumulo rifiuti, quella di Prrenjas e quella dell complesso metallurgico di Elbasan, (i) i campioni di terreno sono trattati con terreno vegetale di Prrenjas e terreno di Elbasan, e (ii) con il letame, in percentuali diferenti.

This is an open access article licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/). Differentiation of Administrative Units of Albania by Length and Density of National Road Network Ibrahim Ramadani1 Pal Nikolli2 Ferim Gashi1* 1University of Prishtina, Prishtina, Kosovo 2University of Tirana, Tirana, Albania *Corresponding Author Doi: 10.36941/ajis-2019-0026 Abstract The distribution of the road network in Albania is condition by physico-geographic and socio-economic factors. The small density of the road network puts Albania in the last group of world countries, together with Romania and Bulgaria, but behind all Balkan countries. The unequal development of the road network is one of the strongest reasons for the unequal economic development of different regions of Albania. Inadequacy of road infrastructure is also a major cause for the high level of pollution in urban areas. The study assesses and differentiates Albania's national road network based on several statistical indicators, according to the administrative organization (municipalities and districts) approved by law. The data sources are the road and topographic maps, as well as the data of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and the Ministry of Local Affairs. Maps and images are georeferenced and processed in ArcGIS 10.2, where digital lines, road junctions, and other geographic objects related to them are digitized. Keywords: road network, district, municipality, differentiation, uneven development 1. Introduction Because of the multi-dimensional functions, the importance of maintaining relationships and achieving integration in every aspect of society, ranging from individual to nation, a compulsory feature of modern life is the transport, movement and exchange of people, goods and services (Umoren et al.
