Abstract

Post-socialist urban development in the Albanian capital, Tirana, is characterized by unplanned urbanization that led to the loss of the citys historical fabric. This study focuses on a historic neighbourhood of Tirana affected by urban transformation. It defines housing as the predominant function that has influenced the morphology of the neighbourhood and divides it into three layers, namely pre-socialist, socialist, and post-socialist. The aim is to reveal the influence of each urban layer on neighbourhood and city identity. To achieve this goal, we rely on the concept of place identity, which consists of physical elements and identificatory relations. The methodology includes sampling of citizens (67 per layer), surveying (No Z 201), GIS-mapping and data analysis by clustering physical elements (landmark, house, street, public space) and identificatory relation features (memories, experiences, social and self-identity aspects). The results show that the city identity is reported to be slightly higher compared to the neighbourhood identity. The residents of older layers compared with those of newer have higher identification with both neighbourhood and city. Finally, the neighbourhood identity is generated by houses, as physical aspects, and socialization as identificatory relation, whereas city identity is generated by public spaces, as physical aspects, and as identificatory relation aspects socialization, and self-identity aspects.

后社会主义时期阿尔巴尼亚首都地拉那（Tirana）的城市发展，以无序城镇化为显著特征，这一过程导致城市历史肌理遭到破坏。本研究聚焦于地拉那一处受城市转型影响的历史性社区单元，明确居住功能为影响该社区单元形态的主导功能，并将其划分为前社会主义时期、社会主义时期、后社会主义时期三个层级。研究旨在揭示各城市层级对邻里认同与城市认同的影响机制，为此引入场所认同理论 —— 该理论包含物质要素与认同关联两大维度。

研究方法具体包括：按层级进行居民抽样（每层 67 人）、开展调研（调研编号：No Z 201）、GIS 空间 mapping（地理信息系统绘图），以及通过物质要素（地标、住宅、街道、公共空间）与认同关联特征（记忆、体验、社会认同及自我认同维度）的聚类分析进行数据处理。研究结果显示：城市认同整体略高于邻里认同；相较于新型层级居民，传统层级居民对社区与城市的双重认同度更高；从形成机制来看，邻里认同的物质载体为住宅，认同关联维度为社交互动；而城市认同的物质载体为公共空间，认同关联维度则涵盖社交互动与自我认同。

Currently, working on exploring new methods of Land Use/ Land Cover (LULC) data utility in inspiring Nature Based Solutions for prevailing Metropolitan challenges. The main focus remains on assessing the quality and inter-connectivity of the blue-green infrastructure as a crucial resource for providing a variety of ecosystem services. Analytical workflows are modeled via GIS technologies, making the proposed methods easily reproducible.
