Land cover 2012 Overview of land cover & change 2006-2012 With an annual land cover change rate of 0.11%, the overall pace of landscape development in Albania is much slower, compared to the previous period 2000-2006. This rate also means, that the intensity of land cover development in Albania is about half of the European average. The development is driven mostly by changes due to natural and multiple causes, represented in particular by forest and shrub fires, and forest creation and management, mostly recent felling and transition. On the other hand, the intensity of urban residential sprawl, which was the main driver of land cover change in previous period, decreased rapidly and the artificial development is driven only by sprawl of economic sites and infrastructures in the period 2006-2012. This means also rapid decrease of overall sprawl intensity, compared to the previous period. The value of annual land take rate fell from 4.69% in 2000-2006 to 0.47% in 2006-2012, which, however, is still slightly above the European average. Note: The results presented here are based on a change analysis of 44 land cover types mapped consistently on a 1:100.000 scale across Europe over more than a decade, between 2000-2006-2012 - see Corine land cover (CLC) programme for details.

% of initial year]

Huge slowdown of residential development The artificial development in Albania encountered a huge slowdown, compared to the previous period. This is caused by slowdown of residential sprawl, which was the main driver of urban land take as well as of overall land cover development in the country during the previous period. The residential sprawl was concentrated in the western part of the country, with smaller concentrations on the east and south. In the period 2006-2012, the sprawl was driven mostly by construction of highways in the northern part of the country and also by extension of industrial and commercial units in the surroundings of the capital city of Tirana and also around the Durres city, located on the Adriatic seashore near Tirana.

Agriculture (2006-2012)

Slowdown of consumption of agricultural land

The overall intensity of agricultural land exchange in Albania is rather low, with prevailing internal flows. Extension of pasture, set aside and fallow land lost most of its intensity, compared to the previous period, and diffuse conversion from pasture to arable and permanent crop land became the major driver of agricultural internal exchange in 2006-2012. Because of the slowdown of residential sprawl, also the intensity of consumption of agricultural land (mainly pastures) is much lower recently, comparing with the period 2000-2006. The internal structure of agricultural land consumed remains similar, prevailing share of complex cultivation patterns (45%), agriculture with natural vegetation (30%) and non-irrigated arable (21%) – which pretty well mirrors the structure of agricultural land in the country.

Massive forest and shrub fires

Flows in natural land are the most extensive from all land cover conversions in Albania. The most extensive drivers of landscape change in the country are forest and shrub fires. They consumed mostly sclerophyllous vegetation, broad-leaved forest and transitional woodland and shrubs. The total area destroyed by these fires in the period 2006-2012 was about 9000 hectares, located mostly in the south-western part of the country. In the previous period 2000-2006, these fires were not observed in Albania. The second most significant flow in both natural and overall land cover development is recent felling and transition. However, the intensity of this flow is significantly lower than in the period 2000-2006 and the opposite internal forest exchange – conversion of transitional woodland to forest – almost disappeared from the country. From other natural flows, extension of water courses and water bodies’ creation was also present in Albania in the recent period.
