Notice on the ALBPOS system
Dear users!
We inform you that since 13.01.2016 the ALBPOS system has resumed its operation, as well as its official website albpos.net. albpos.net .
We will stay in touch for further developments!
Tendering – National Geoportal
We inform you,that through the official Website link of the Norwegian public publishing, , Doffin,, are available the tender documents for the development and delivery of Nationality Geoportal for State Authority for Geospatial Information (ASIG).
WorkShop of IMPULS Project. On the 17-19 November 2015,Tiranë.
On the 17-19 November 2015, within the project “IMPULS” sponsored by the “AIDS” of the Swedish Government was organized Workshop for Working Groups 2,3,4 and 5, in Tirana, aimed professional development of staffs who deal with geospatial data in countries of the Western Balkans region. Through the project Impuls, the EC will monitor the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive in the countries of the Balkan region and will also assist with her’s experience through the Swedish Agency “Lantmäteriet” (Mapping, Cadaster and Property Registration Authority) and “State Geodesy Authority” of Croatia.
Meeting of the Board of Geospatial Information -BIG, on 10.22.2015
In the Meeting of the Board of Geospatial Information (BIG) on 10/22/2015 under the direction of Ministry of Public Administration and Innovation.
Ms.Milena Harito, ASIG showed some important documents related to The State Standards for Geospatial Information in Albania for the following topics:
-The boundaries of administrative units.
-Cadastral Parcels
-Buildings.
Also was discussed and approved a VKM draft, “Determining the detailed rules for the creation, storage and updating of metadata” for Geospatial Information in Albania.
In this meeting emphasized the importance that the adoption and implementation of these standards by the responsible State Authority and the impact that will have on the growth of production quality geospatial information.

KRGJSH 2010
KRGJSH-2010
Albanian Geodetic Frame which is in use in the Republic of Albania, is approved by the Decision of Council of Ministers no. 669, dated on 08/07/2013 and it is called:
“Korniza Rreferuese Gjeodezike Shqiptare 2010” (KRGJSH-2010), “2010”, is the index related with the “epoch” used to define geodetic coordinates for all the geodetic points in the Republic of Albania.
KRGJSH-2010, shall be determined on the basis of the European Geodetic Reference System. KRGJSH- 2010, shall be used for all the applications associated with the use of geodetic coordinates in the country. Relationship between KRGJSH-2010 and the classic coordinate reference systems which are used in our country, until the entry into force of the KRGJSH-2010, will be made by using the transformation parameters calculated for each case.
KRGJSH-2010 includes:
I. Fundamental geodetic parameters determined in Geodetic Reference System (GRS-80):
1) Equatorial radius; a = 6 378 137m
2)Geocentric gravitational constant, including mass of the atmosphere; GM = 3 986 005 x 10-8 m3s-2
3) Dynamical form factor; J2 = 108 263 x 10-8
4)Reciprocal of flattening; 1/f = 298.257 222 101
5)Angular velocity of rotation; ? = 7 292115.0 x 10-11rad.sek-1
II.Geodetic coordinate system ETRS89. Realization ETRF2000, Epoch 2010. III.Height system. The System shall be realized through the bench marks the State Leveling Networks involved in the United European Levelling Network (UELN) defined in European Vertical Reference System (EVRS) using gravity data defined in the unified system International Gravity Standardization Network 1971 (IGSN 1971).
IV. System of plain coordinates. The system of plain coordinates shall be realized using two Cartographic Projections:
1.Transverse Mercator Projection (TMzn), for mapping at scales larger than 1:500 000.
2.Lambert Conic Conformal Projection, for mapping at scales smaller than 1:500 000.
3.Central Meridian: ? = 20 0 ; 4. Scale factor at the central meridian: 1; 5. False easting: 500 000 m; 6. False northing: 0 m;
