- Abstract
The present paper aims to study, geomorphology closely related to physico-geographical conditions and the main aspects of human development of the territory of the Republic of Albania. We have mainly focused on the detailed analysis of morphology and morphogenesis, drawing on the stages of its morphotectonic and morphoclimatic evolution. The diversity of the natural environment and the scientific problems that the relief presents for solutions and direct practical values, promote the necessity of undertaking a study at the contemporary geomorphological level. The field expeditions have analyzed in detail the factors and causes of the formation of the simplest relief forms to the most complex and complex ones, illustrating each morphogenic phenomenon by geographical distribution. From field expeditions, measurements and observations have been made of the diverse geomorphological, hydrological, pedological, plant phenomena and processes and of the effects of human intervention. Some detailed factual data for the analysis of external morphogenic phenomena are still missing as they are difficult to observe directly and consequently they are supplemented with information provided by local residents. New data have been presented in the terrain genetic framework, serving as a support for the further deepening of studies in the field of geomorphology, physical geography and the natural environment as a whole, serving as the basis for the analysis of specific geomorphological units of our country. The realization of this study is based on a long years of field research, using simultaneously the data of geology, physical geography, climatology, hydrography, pedology, vegetation and environment. Theoretical preparation, associated with rich information from the field, has enabled the implementation of the above work, which synthesizes current geomorphological research with related sciences. Complex analysis of geomorphological problems, as one of the main priorities is placed at the center of the study, alongside physico-geographical ones, closely related to natural resources, environmental degradation and territory regulation. Geomorphological features and physico-geographical elements should be put in place for the organization and regulation of rural space, contributing to a fuller understanding of morphological phenomena and explaining the causes and consequences of some human factors in the development of external terrain modeling processes. The fullest determination of the geomorphological features of the relief of Albania will require the realization of proper geomorphological regionalization by applying contemporary criteria.
