THE ANALYSES OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT PLANS IN SHKODRA CITY

This paper analyzes the relations between spatial configuration and GiS urban activities in Shkodra city. The effects of such transformation, good and bad, have become very visible in physical or spatial terms, and in the daily lives of people in urban areas of Shkodra city, especially those that have expanded rapidly. The landscape of Shkodra city is the result of architectural-urban-historical development during centuries. This paper focuses on trends and issues that have come to the fore with rapid urbanization and with the recent decentralization. At the same time analyzes a good urban plan with GiS to support the sustainable development of the city while defending all its identity, its assets and its historical and cultural values. Therefore, Shkoder needs something of its own: a plan reflecting its typical spatial organization evolved through years, the symbiosis relation with its lakes, rivers, mountains and flood plains, it’s historical past and it’s buildings with typical traditional architecture just to guide it’s development.
