The creation of an immovable property registration system in Albania
Stanfield, J. David
Paper presented at the Symposium on Land Administration in Post Conflict Areas, held at Geneva, 29-30 April 2004 (LAPCA, Geneva).
Since the late 19800s, a massive transformation of land management is occurring in Eastern Europe and Eurasia. Prior to 1989, State institutions were responsible for the management of land, that is, State agencies made the decisions about how to use the land and about who would profit from that use. In property terms, the State owned most of the land and buildings in most socialist countries in the sense of controlling who got access for their use. After the sometimes violent turmoil accompanying regime changes in the late 19800s, with the shift to private land and building ownership through privatization policies and programs, the management of significant proportions of land and buildings became the responsibility of the private owners.
