La classification des établissements ruraux dans la région de Gjirokastra

Rural settlements in Gjirokastra, Albania, exhibit distinct economic and land-use patterns shaped by topography. Agriculture, livestock farming, and product processing dominate in lowland areas, while high-altitude zones favor orchards and cattle rearing. Mountainous regions, particularly villages like Picar, Cepo, Pogon, and Frashër, are characterized by small-scale agriculture. The study analyzed land registries to classify these settlements, revealing that pre-1990 socio-economic policies prioritized agricultural land use and rural population density, while post-1990 policies failed to address rural development effectively. Gjirokastra's rural areas hold exceptional cultural and architectural value, featuring a unique blend of Albanian and Greek traditions, which could serve as a transborder model for sustainable rural development.
