Integrated Cross-Sectorial Plan of Tirana-Durres Area
The Albanian Government and the National Spatial Plan have identified the Tiranë-Durrës area, as one of the most important economic areas of the country, and of the Balkan region. To ensure a sustainable territorial and urban development of this area, the Ministry of Urban Development in cooperation with the National Territorial Planning Agency has taken the initiative to draft a Cross-sectoral Integrated Plan for the economic area Tiranë – Durrës. The metropolitan region under study includes territories administered by 5 municipalities: Tiranë, Durrës, Vorë, Shijak, Kamëz.

c) Marginal rural, agricultural-natural areas, which have a weak development structure or dispersed urbanization development (development of formal or informal urbanization) should be developed focused on opportunities to support agriculture, as agricultural and natural reserve areas. Benefits will be achieved through the use of large areas of land mainly in nature-focused functions, such as natural reserves or areas in service of nature, areas in service of cultivated forests, orchards, areas in support of future agriculture and spaces for cultivated species requiring large territories. be kept protected and preserved from urban and rural developments. The interconnection of these areas with urban areas should be focused on natural tourism and recreational functions. The infrastructure of these areas must be accompanied by information boards and temporary services to the benefit of natural tourism. The minimal use of these ecosystem protection areas is suggested, with the main focus being: river deltas, wetland areas, water system and resources, coastal forests, mountain ranges and peripheral hills. d) Free natural areas and protected natural areas are the peripheral part of the impact of urban and rural pressure.

RP1.1- Consolidation and use of agricultural land The agricultural system is formed by the entirety of lands and territories with similar categories of use in agriculture (B). The result of the interaction between the use of territorial values and human activities for cultivation and construction of an agricultural character forms the agricultural system and the chain of food industry. The agricultural system has been used as a basic element to develop territorial development scenarios in rural areas, focusing on: • Reducing the fragmentation of agricultural land, to ensure increased efficiency in farmers’ productivity. • Densification, concentration and access to services in function of agriculture, to increase the use of agricultural network by farmers’ groups, and to increase farm size and seasonal / annual product; • Creating a climate for the development of supportive policies to plant land with suitable autochthonous plants for high-yielding areas that are related or contribute to other areas of agriculture such as livestock, poultry, apiculture etc. The instruments that will mostly affect the return or use of land as agricultural land are: support and promotion based on the product yeild quantity, financial and legal incentives to use local inputs, incentives based on some selective criteria (surface area, number of cattle, income etc). These factors will enable to increase welfare in rural areas and to develop productivity on agricultural land. Meanwhile, incentives and development instruments that are not based on type or the amount of product produced have a wider impact on peri-urban areas where the territory and services are linked to auxiliary urban functions. Land consolidation and enlargement of farms could mark the turning point of the development of agriculture and rural economy, as well as the limitation of agricultural land degradation. The consolidation of agricultural land is an effective instrument for a more competitive agrarian sector, focused on the development and growth of areas of fragmented land plots for agricultural use in rural areas. The line ministry and the municipalities of the region should develop policies based on this instrument, in order to create opportunities for a unification of agricultural farms, promoting agglomerations with similar services, aiming to create 5 to 7 hectares of plots with the same product. Initially, it is recommended to carry out pilot projects in order to further develop the regional strategy on land consolidation and management. It is recommended to build and develop offices in each municipality for the management of agricultural land, establishment of the digital cadastre, contracting of companies for the implementation of the consolidation strategy, and companies to supervise its process. This proccess should be based on: • Clarifying the ownership status in the digital cadastre; • Classifying the price of agricultural land for purchase, sale or rent; • Classifying the crediting categories for purchasing or renting agricultural land. The approach for consolidation and management of agricultural land: The most effective way of building this rural development instrument is the full and comprehensive consolidation, but there are other opportunities as well, such as simplified consolidation or consolidation of voluntary groups. The municipalities are encouraged to develop pilot projects in advance, and then apply large-scale consolidation. The objectives of the consolidation of agricultural land are: • grouping dispersed agricultural plots to minimize the negative effects of the fragmentation of agricultural land; 131
