Abstract

After years 1990 the peripheral area of Tirana was affected by a massive interior migration, a fast, abusive and uncontrolled by the state structures. This fact found the local authoritative unprepared to arrange such an enormous number of people so the consequences were a lot and consecutive, serious, a part of them irreparable and with negative effects. We are in front of a wild urbanization which except others has misused and consumed the physical geographical space. And this as a result of a very fast pace of development happened to this area at the beginning of years ’90 which still continues though not in the same rhythm. This because of fast developments this area had at the beginning of years ’90 which still continue today though not at the same pace. The real representative of these big changes is Bathore which has lived an overall development of a high rhythm transforming from a village completely unknown to a phenomena that represents the uncontrolled and problematic urbanization of the main Albanian cities. Even the nowadays developments of this area form one more argument that testify for developments between suburb and urban zones of this area. The large immigration to this area, related to the lack of legislation allowed the population of this area and its construction without applying the minimum infrastructure requirements and out of any rule. This chaotic establishment was followed by social-economic and environmental problems which are still worrying for this analyzed area. Bathore is a bad example of misusing geographical area for which professional surveys, debates, multidisciplinary discussions must be made on purpose that such developments will not be repeated in the future. These surveys are not totally absent and some of them are even associated with interventions in improvement of situation in one part of Bathore, aiming in continue its integration as a whole into urban area. This paper aims to analyze the actual demographic, social-economical and environmental developments not only to make evident the changes of urban and rural changes in comparative view. This comparative analysis attempts to identify problems but also highlight the features of urban and rural development by identifying future trends that are particularly important in planning development strategies.
