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.

This research tries to synthesize the urban development of Tirana, especially in the historical part of it, at different times. The evolution of the city of Tirana is a typical evolution for Albanian cities with an urban structure, which was born in the Ottoman period. The chaotic urban structure shaped spontaneously in recent centuries , in Bosios plan during 1940, was thought to be treated as a "garden city", well integrated with the new form of the city, preserving at the same time his physiognomy.
