Through the project “Geospatial Information on the Sustainable Development of the Territory in the High Intensity Area of Tirana-Durres Development”, funded by the Japanese Agency for International Cooperation (JICA),was conducted air photography and the production of orthophotos with a resolution of 0.08 m / 375 km² including the economic triangle Tirana-Vora-Durres.
The project envisages the creation of large-scale digital maps for this area, according to contemporary methodologies and standards, used in Japan, as well as the transfer of technology, including hardware and software infrastructure, with a view to establishing, at a later stage of maps such for the entire territory of the country.
Large-scale maps, which have not been produced for more than 25 years, are very much needed for the country’s development, especially as regards property issues and infrastructure construction.
