This paper aims to reconstruct the Albanian rural landscape through qualitative, diachronic, and multisource interpretations from the mid-19th century until 2022. For the first time, the data suitable for studying and describing landscape changes have been outlined to understand them over time, combining literature, historical maps, paintings, photo collections, movies, land art, and statistical dataset interpretations. By describing the changes in the Albanian landscape and interpretation of agricultural statistics, the research has confirmed the land-use dynamicity of its rural landscape. These considerations call for a more contemporary approach to landscape planning, stressing the need for the State Party to sign the Council of Europe Landscape Convention. In addition, strategies and actions should valorise both the ordinary landscape and the community involvement in its proactive management.

Abstract
This paper aims to reconstruct the Albanian rural landscape through qualitative, diachronic, and multisource interpretations from the mid-19th century until 2022. For the first time, the data suitable for studying and describing landscape changes have been outlined to understand them over time, combining literature, historical maps, paintings, photo collections, movies, land art, and statistical dataset interpretations. By describing the changes in the Albanian landscape and interpretation of agricultural statistics, the research has confirmed the land-use dynamicity of its rural landscape. These considerations call for a more contemporary approach to landscape planning, stressing the need for the State Party to sign the Council of Europe Landscape Convention. In addition, strategies and actions should valorise both the ordinary landscape and the community involvement in its proactive management.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
