The Urban Planning of a Medieval Village, Case of Study Kamenicë (Albania)
Abstract
The urban planning of the medieval village of Kamenica is the main subject of this paper. It is an abandoned village situated on the south of Albania (district of Delvinë), which conserves many of its original buildings in a good state. The surveys done in the last years permit to make some preliminary conclusions about its structure. In order to understand the guidelines of the urban planning, we have taken in exam some similar models, both in the Albanian and Italian territory. Their study has been very useful to put Kamenica in rapport with the other settlements in a large context. The analysis passes through the concept of urban geography, which is very important for choosing the site location and the guarantee of the economic life of the village. In the paper are taken in the exam the principal elements of the urban structure, such as the streets network and the open spaces.
Keywords: medieval village, medieval urban planning, abandoned village, medieval house, tower house.
