16 Informal Settlements in Albania - Typology Informal development are of different typology, based on the level of the violation: a) Illegal occupation of public or private land. Usually are found in areas without a study, not urbanized, rural areas (case of Bathore, Kamza etc..); b) Illegal / irregular transaction of land from persons that does not hold a title and construction without permission; c) Construction without permit on its own land; d) Construction with permit with regular land transaction, but infringement of the permit - mostly in urban areas; e) Extension of existing buildings without permit; f) Changes in the facades of the existing buildings (closure of balconies, windows, etc..)

17

18 Informal Settlements in Albania - Approaches Approaches in Albania: a) demolition; b) WB up-grading project; state ignoring c) 2004 First law on LEGALIZATION (Investment in infrastructure through capitalization on land); d) 2006 A new law political decision to support fast urbanization e) the law was amended 8 times

19 Informal Settlements in Albania 270,000 self-declarations in Source: ALUIZNI (Central Govt. Agency for Registering Informal Areas)

20 IMPACT OF LEGALIZATION

21 Some achievements of ALUIZNI in 2011 Field survey completed for 178,934 informal objects, qualified for legalization; Elaboration of technical and legal documentation for 137,000 informal buildings; Completed the preparation of legalization files for 63,278 informal properties; Completed procedures for the transfer of land property for 85,700 informal buildings Completed procedures of compensation for 3,432 owners Completed procedures for transferring the ownership for 300 properties in touristic villages Granted the legalization permit for 8,318 informal buildings;

22 Only 10% of buildings are legalized between 2006 and % 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Number of self-declarations Number of permits issued (until 2015)

23 1996 Source: John Driscoll (IIUD) More than ha of land occupied 2007

24 Number of self-declaration increased by 8% between 2006 and Source: ALUIZNI (Central Govt. Agency for Registering Informal Areas)

25 Increased housing stock % 33% empty homes % BEFORE ' TOTAL BUILDINGS FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES

26 Some conclusions Informal urban and housing development is part of a wider informality Legalization didn t help to formalize the system Legalization should be followed with measures to stop further developments: Demolitions Develop urban plans Simplifying administrative procedures
