ABSTRACT
Due
to the pedo-climate conditions in the region of Korca, this area is considered
to be one of the most favorable regions for cultivating various kinds of plants
such as cereals, vegetables, wood-trees, vineyards, etc. All
the factors such as rain, temperature, the impact of sunlight, and the pathological structure of the land, make this
region one of the most productive and qualitative among the others. Changing the political systems in Albania during the
last decades in Albania had its own impact even in the agricultural aspect.
Shifting from communism into a modern, capitalist economy built a huge barrier for farmers in their way to
intensifying the agricultural production. Dividing the land according to the
law number 7,501, was accompanied by a severe fragmentation of the
plot, reducing the degree of mechanization and chemical process. In this paper, the authors will try to analyze the
effect of law fragmentation in the regional farmers working process in the
region of Korca, and other municipalities such as Bilisht and Maliq, nearby
Korca. There were randomly interviewed 150 farmers, from which 30 from the
municipality of Bilisht, 22 from Korca municipality and 15 from Maliqi. From each farmer, these were the variables taken into consideration: Total land area, irrigated land, the number of plots,
the area planted with wheat, corn, vegetables, fruit, vineyards, and forages. All the data that were gathered and
translated into figures have
indicated statistic
elements such as the average value of each
variable, deviation or standard deviation, coefficient of variation,
correlation and regression.
For instance in the
municipality of Bilisht, it has been concluded that between the total variable
area and number of plots, the related correlation value of the correlation
coefficient is r = + 0.73 and the
value of regression coefficient is R = 2.71. In this municipality, correlative links between the variable and the
total area planted with wheat area, are of medium category, with a value of the
correlation coefficient of r = + 0.52
and the regression coefficient is R =
0.89. Regarding the studies in the municipality of Maliq, it
has been a correlation link between the weak variable category: in the surface
of the irrigated area and the land planted with vegetables and corn, the value
of the correlation coefficient is r =
+ 0.24 and the regression coefficient R = 2.11. In the municipality of Korca, among the variable of
irrigated area and the surface of the land planted with vegetables, there is a weak correlative link with a value of the
correlation coefficient r = + 0.17 and the regression coefficient R = 0.58.
