- Abstract
Nowadays, during the research and tendencies for further infrastructural developments, to quickly cover a distance from one point to another, the roads have turned into tunnels. This phenomenon is present today in all modes of transport which isolates us from current actuality and contact with the other part. This is often true in the case of transport by train or plane. Road infrastructure which creates its passage corridors and the connection of two or more inhabited centres with different population numbers creates nodes where it interacts with other traffic networks and in these cases such tunnel effects are used to exclude and bypass most of the intervening spaces, in this way they are avoided to access in a faster time two distances. While, transport and transit corridors have become more common as reference points for urban planning, corridor development has emerged as a more interesting and complex issue in transport planning. The problems of corridor development are always great and they need to provide access to transport, quality transport, develop habitable communities and ensure economic development along the corridor. In case a corridor crosses the jurisdictional boundaries then these problems worsen. There is a need for a model that addresses key problems in corridor planning and management. This paper develops such a model which is based on the 5 main areas of the corridor development process: governance, economic impacts, financing, design and citizens' preferences. For the basis of this analysis is taken a case study which is "The road of Nation" in Albania, or Route 7, which starts from the city of Durres, crosses the border point Morine-Vermice, passes through Prishtina and the border point of Merdare and goes to Nis (Serbia). The reason for taking this case is related to the fact that this road connects the important port of Durres with one of the important Balkan corridors such as corridor no. 10. Also, this corridor is new and with its construction has reduced the travel time in this region, avoiding the old road that passed in difficult mountainous terrain, but which has given negative effects to those settlements which today are left out of attention. In this study, were used several study instruments, such as field observation, stakeholder analysis, annual reports analysis, and questionnaires. Finally, the lessons learned from implementing the model are presented.
