​Aerial photography in the Republic of Albania

Aerial terrain photography serves as the geographical foundation for sustainable development plans, economic growth, and the enhancement of social infrastructure and living standards. In implementing development plans, feasibility studies, detailed projects, as well as environmental preservation, updated geospatial information is crucial for this process.

 

Digital Aerial Photography, to be produced as part of the project funded by the Albanian Government within the framework of the “Establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure in the Republic of Albania,” will undoubtedly be the key information for creating a unified map of the Republic of Albania. This is essential for generating topographic information for various Albanian institutions such as the Property Registration Office, ALUIZNI, the Agency for the Return and Compensation of Properties, the National Territorial Planning Agency, as well as every local government unit.

 

The product obtained from this aerial photography is of the highest quality achieved so far in Albania and is among the most advanced achievements at the national level. Advanced technologies such as LiDAR technologies have been used, ensuring the production of high-resolution Digital Terrain Models (DTM) and Digital Surface Models (DSM) for different terrain resolutions (5 points/m2 for urban areas (approx. 1028 km2); 2 points/m2 in rural areas (approx. 10340 km2); and up to 1 point/m2 in mountainous areas (approx. 17380 km2)), which are then used to produce high-quality orthophotos according to specified technical specifications. Currently, 83% of the territory has been covered by aerial photography.

 

These products are now accessible to the public and any interested party through the National Geoportal of ASIG.

Cooperation agreement between JICA and ASIG

State Authority for Geospatial Information (ASIG) signed at 25/01/2017 the acceptance cooperation agreement with JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) for the project “Geospatial information for sustainable development of the territory in the area of high intensity Tirana development Durres”. The project foresee the creation of digital maps in large-scale for the economic triangle Tirana-Vora-Durres according to the methods and standards used in Japan, as well as transfering of technology, including hardware infrastructure and software, as well as training of ASIG employees. Except ASIG form this project are beneficial all central and local public authorities which base their activity in cartographic information.

Aerial Photography Project

Based on the needs and requirements of many public authorities which are known as actors for use and update of geospatial information topics, ASIG proposed a new aerial photography which will serve as a map-based unified for the whole Albanian territory. Albanian Government with the decision K.ZH.T. No.14 dated 23.09.2014, published in the Official Journal No. 147/2014 titled “Creating the System of Geospatial data” first stage, took the decision to implement this project by funding this project.

Aerial photography will obviously be useful for the recognition of the current state of the Albanian geographical features and formulation national plans linked to the mainland. In addition, it is possible to conduct research and analyze relevant situations, comparing existing orthophoto in 2007 and newly developed in 2015.

such as coastal erosion, forest fund, the development of mineral resources, land use changes, eg from farmland in the housing areas, from forest to agricultural land; new buildings and loss of buildings, natural disasters, eg landslides and forest fires, the implementation of population registration system, national address system, etc, producing in this way a digital model of the terrain, through scanning of the territory (DTS) and Orthophoto RGB / CIR which will be produced for the first time in Albania in this form. RGB/ CIR të cilat do të prodhohen për herë të parë në Shqipëri në këtë trajtë

This will be the first stage of creating geospatial data system to support the development and management of the region.

The project area is 28,748 sq km, which represents the total area of ??the Republic of Albania.

The project area will be divided into three main lots with different precision for aerial photography, LIDAR scanning, DTM and DTS creation from LIDAR scanning and orthophoto production.
