Xhafa, Sonila & Ardi Malaj
Request for the implementation of GIS to the curriculums of high education in Albania is increasing. One of the most important factors that leads this increase is the also increasing request for specialists of GIS in the labor market, mainly to the private sector but also to the public sector. GIS is and will be widely used in such fields as: public service businesses, communication, transportation, engineering, forestry, health care, agriculture, urban planning, environment studies, local and state institutions etc. So, the implementation of GIS to teaching planning of the department of geography, is an important initiative though initially it had itts own difficulties mainly towards the lack of infrastructure or little experience in this field, difficulties which are today less present.
