Old Bazaar and People Skills development after the 1990s in the City of Kruja

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the issues which are intended to show the continuity of tradition Albanian masterful focusing primarily on traditional handicrafts of the region of Kruja involved and art of this city. An important impetus has been especially large -scale fact that cultural tourism has taken, which bore the desire and interest to address the reactivation of some of the traditional to vocational order can be placed at the service of current developments . It is of interest that the only preserved Kruja shopping, with all the traditional features and therefore it offers optimal conditions, not only to activate, but also for trade, tourism here has since achieved great development dimensions. We note that currently this shopping skills alongside traditional products continue to exercise their crafts, marketed and imported products. Without denying the right of traders to sell these goods, I think that domestic production should have priority and should dominate in the traditional market town, where you left each visitor a choice of international and local actors. In this study I focused mainly on handcraft made by the women of this province and the women of the surrounding villages, mainly based on some form of work as are: works of woolen, linen works, silk works, especially works cotton. Skills exercised by them were intended to meet the needs of the family less for the market. While men in most work to sell goods within the province, but also in more distant markets. Men usually work consisted of working metal to stone, wood, etc., whose products serve not only for the family but also to trade them. This study will serve to further deepen the knowledge about the various artistic works of this province and the preservation of this tradition to generations to come.
