MANJOLA XHAFERRI, MIRELA TASE

Abstract:

- The political changes that took place after the 90s created the possibility for a free movement of the inhabitants from different regions that can be grouped as follows: - Movement or emigration outside Albania; - Movement from the villages around the city or from the administrative centers of the respective district; - Movement toward the suburbs of big centers such as: Tirana, Durrësi, Vlora, Elbasani, Shkodra etc. In our paper we have focused on the movement toward the Capital City. We have especially concentrated on the grouping of inhabitants arriving from the Northern and Southern areas of Albania and who have settled in Bathore, Baldushk, Sauk, Selite, Farke. The inhabitants have been mainly canvassed (questioned) in relation to these problems: a. Reasons of moving b. Problems of adaptation in the new environment (confrontation with the new mentality of the Capital City, employment, education etc.) c. Cohabitation with the natives (found there, including here maritial and social relations etc.) These are problems which willingly or unwillingly these new comers have had to face and will face in the future, up to the moment when they will be fully integrated in a metropolitan city such as Tirana. Here we will take into consideration the changes they have had to undergo due to the living conditions they have left behind and from which they are still affected.
