                    <text>Developing Cross-Cultural Reflections: Exploring French Culture through Stereotypes
Isabelle Drewelow
University of Alabama/ Tuscaloosa, United States
Key words: cross-cultural awareness, French, stereotypes,
ABSTRACT
The foreign language teaching profession widely recognizes the central place of culture in foreign language learning
and the need for learners to develop intercultural understanding and cross-cultural awareness (Agar, 1994; Block,
2003; Omaggio Hadley, 2001; Schulz, 2007; Su, 2011). But how should foreign language teachers go about it?
Sercu (2002) observed that the tendency when teaching culture is to focus on facts and information using a teachercentered approach rather than a student-centered hypotheses-refining approach more conducive to developing
critical perspectives. This presentation introduces a series of tasks, designed for the early stages of French language
instruction and articulated around the notion of cultural stereotypes. The goal is to propose a practical approach to
broaden learners’ frame of references, foster interest in the French culture, and encourage critical reflection by
providing opportunities for teachers and learners to jointly critique and assess stereotypes across cultures.
Stereotypes provide a rich source for the exploration of the notion of culture and the promotion of cross-cultural
reflections and understanding in the foreign language classroom because most often stereotyped images of a culture
are rendered possible based on information available in that culture. When addressed and brought up to light,
stereotypes can trigger a wide range of responses because whether or not they subscribe to them, learners are aware
of their native culture’ stereotypes regarding the target culture. The proposed tasks are designed to involve both
learners and teachers in developing progressively during the first-semester of French instruction a cross-cultural
awareness, thus providing a student-centered learning experience where learners and instructors are both providers
of knowledge. Using collectively co-constructed images and cultural representations present in their native culture
as a foundation, the tasks move from collaborative discovery in the classroom, using songs and cartoons, to
increasingly individual creative exploration through digital storytelling outside the classroom.

                <text>The experiences that we have throughout our lives enable us to live culturally because we are influenced and shaped by the culture and we actively act on and reconstruct cultural elements in our social environment (Atkinson, 1999). This highlights the importance of the development of cultural awareness for successful communication especially in a world where intercultural communication is now inevitable. One way of reaching the cultural information in a particular society is by closely studying its speech acts (Wierzbicka, 1985). This study aims to find out the strategies in the performance of the speech act of congratulation in British English and Turkish using a corpus approach and to formulate cultural scripts using the Natural Semantic Metalanguage Approach (NSM). NSM is said to ease intercultural communication by providing a natural language that can be understood by people from different backgrounds and that helps to understand speech practices from the perspective of the speakers themselves (Goddard &amp; Wierzbicka, 2007; Goddard, 2009).     To collect the data, the study follows a corpus approach whereby the performative verbs (i.e., English congratulation and Turkish tebrik and kutlama) and their various lexical forms are searched for in various corpora (i.e., BYU-British National Corpus, METU Turkish Corpus, Google) from the newspaper and blog genres. The contexts where the congratulation was directly performed were selected and examined qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of the study show that there are some cultural differences as well as similarities in the performance of congratulation, which can be presented in a cultural script. It is suggested that the cultural scripts be used as language teaching sources specifically for the development of intercultural communicative competence, which includes the cultural knowledge and awareness that will help interlocutors ‘survive’ in new contexts by using the language in socially and culturally appropriate ways (Byram et al., 2002). </text>

Diagnostic  assessment is one way to measure the effectiveness of Implemented programs as well as students’ academic  background. In this paper I will discuss the importance of diagnostic testing in measuring students’ language  skills. I used a diagnostic test in my class in order to test students’ strengths and weaknesses as well as see  how much they know and what I need to re-teach in my class. It helped me plan learning activities tailored  according to students’ current level of knowledge. Implementing diagnostic testing was particulary effective  with mix abilities group of students’ that come from diverse cultural and academic background.

                <text>The main objective of this paper is to discuss possibilities of teacher identity development through pre-service English language teacher education. Teacher identity is here defined as a set of pedagogical competencies (knowledge, skills, abilities, values and attitudes) incorporated in one’s teaching philosophy and strategies. The issue of teacher identity development is positioned between the normative discourse on traditionally valued model of the ideal teacher and the more contemporary idiosyncratic discourse directed to developing individual type of professional self. While the first model is acquired through pre-service teacher education, the latter is developed either from the dispositions of talented young teacher or from the years of practice of experienced teacher. It is the intention of this paper to view which model of teacher identity is most preferred among English language senior year students preparing for teaching service. Focus group technique is conveyed, raising two main questions: a) What elements of teacher identity English language students find relevant for their future professional identity? and b) Which model of teacher identity is fostered through pedagogical courses offered in their pre-service curriculum? </text>

Abstract: The aim of this project is to solve the bank security problems (robbery, illegal
weapons, and the safety of employees) caused by lack of the security in the banks.
This project is divided into two parts which are hardware and software. A kind of bank
security system by using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) was designed, and
the automatic control of the bank security system was performed by software. The
hardware part is the model of one bank containing two front doors, one door of the
vault room, and some sensors. The limit switches, doors and sensors are connected to
Zelio PLC Schneider SR3B261BD. The PLC controls every signal which is coming from
the inputs (Limit switch) to software and display to the outputs (Doors). Using software,
Function Block Diagrams (FBD) are programmed to control the traffic light.
Keywords: Programmable Logic Controller, Function Block Diagrams, PLC, FBD
Introduction
This is an era when control and disposition increase, and signal integrity problems
are getting more and more severe, and time when design teams are available to
solve these problems and design new products in short time. This is an era when
Programmable logic control (PLC) is exchanging many other components and devices.
There is huge fan of reasons why, here are some of them: they are more practical,
simpler, very fast, cooperative, payable, etc. Many successful companies are those
that using PLCs overcoming their integrity and implementation problems. In highspeed production, accuracy and correctness are very crucial and one of the most
important parameters. By understanding the fundamental principles of guideline and
controlling PLCs at the engineering level, every engineer involved in this field process
can see the impact of PLCs on the system performance. The main advantage and
factor is that PLCs can work on 220V as well as 24V, and we can say that PLCs have
huge scope of work. A programmable logic controller (PLC) is and industrial computer
used to control and automate complex systems. Programmable logic controllers are
a relatively recent development in a process control technology. It is designed for
use in an industrial environment, which uses a programmable memory for the integral
storage of user-oriented instructions for implementing specific functions such as logic,
sequencing, timing, counting, and arithmetic to control through digital or analog inputs
and outputs, various types of machines or processes.Programmable logic controllers
are used throughout industry to control and monitor a wide range of machines and
other movable components and systems. PLC is used to monitor input signals from a
variety of input points (input sensors) which report events and conditions occurring in

a controlled process. Programmable logic controllers are typically found in factory
type settings. A typical programmable logic controller employs a backplane to serve
as the communications bus for interconnecting the PLC processor with the array of
individual input/output devices with which the processor interacts in terms of receiving
input data for use in executing the control program and transmitting control data for
use in controlling the targeted objects. A PLC includes a rack into which a plurality
of input/output cards may be placed. A rack includes several slots into which these
input/output cards are installed. Each input/output card has a plurality of I/O points.
The I/O modules are typically pluggable into respective slots located on a backplane
board in the PLC. An I/O bus couples the cards in the slots back to the processor of the
programmable logic controller. The slots are coupled together by a main bus which
couples any I/O modules plugged into the slots to a central processing unit (CPU). The
CPU itself can be located on a card which is pluggable into a dedicated slot on the
backplane of the PLC. The particular processor employed in a PLC together with the
particular choice of input and output cards installed in the PLC rack are often referred
to as the hardware configuration of the programmable logic controller.
The primary aim of this project is to analyze the scope of PLCs, how to solve problems
and create efficient algorithms which help solve some particular problem. In this case,
that is bank security system and how to solve security problems in the bank.

PLC Arhitecture				

PLC Device

The hardware configuration also includes the particular addresses which the I/O
cards. Each option module typically has a plurality of input/output points. The option
modules are coupled through an interface bus, for example via a backplane, to a
main controller having a microprocessor executing a user program. Option modules
may also include a microprocessor and a memory containing separate user programs
and data directed to a particular operation of the PLC system. During the execution
of a stored control program, the PLC’s read inputs from the controlled process and,
per the logic of the control program, provide outputs to the controlled process. The
outputs typically provide analog or binary voltages or “contacts” implemented by
solid state switching devices. PLC’s are normally constructed in modular fashion to
allow them to be easily reconfigured to meet the demands of the particular process
being controlled. The processor and I/O circuitry are normally constructed as separate
modules that may be inserted in a chassis and connected together through a common
backplane using permanent or releasable electrical connectors.
System Hardware
The hardware part of this project is Programmable logic controller (PLC) and a bank
security model. SCHNEIDER ZELIO SR3B261BD is the type of PLC used in this project as
the processor to control the bank security system. This type of PLC is chosen because
of its characteristics which shown optimal for this particular application. The bank
security model is constructed to display how this bank security system is running. This
bank security model has gates (doors), switches, sensors, speakers, indicator lights,
displays. It has three main parts split into two categories. First is modeling, second is
wiring system and third is programing the PLC. Modeling and wiring system belong to
the first category and programing to the second. The right connection between PLC
and bank security model is very important because it can avoid problem or conflict
when the program is transferred to the PLC.
The bank security model consists of the following components:
•
•

Six switches
Four sensors
Three gates (doors)
Three speakers
Three indicator lights
Two displays
ICESoS 2016 - Proceedings Book 17

�International Conference on Economic and Social Studies (ICESoS’16)
The six switches that this model has are divided into two “Open gate (door) switches”,
three “Close gate (door) switches” and one “Security Room Switch”. The purpose of
the two “Open gate (door) switches” is to open gates (doors) in the bank. The purpose
of the three “Close gate (door) switches” is to close gates (doors) in the bank, and the
one “Security Room Switch” is to turn off the alarm in the bank. In this model we have
these four sensors which are presence sensors. We have one presence sensor that
opens the main door of the bank, second one is detecting weapon while entering the
bank, third one is in vault room and the fourth one is the laser presence sensor which
is activated when the bank is not working.Next, we have three doors, two of them
are front doors of the bank and one of them is for the vault room.Also, we have three
speakers used for alarm system.
One of them is in vault room, second one is located where the weapon presence
sensor is, and the third one is when the laser sensor is in “On” state when the bank is
not working.The three indicator lights are positioned like the three speakers and they
are also activated at the same time as speakers. End at last we have two displays
that are placed in front of vault room and in the vault room. These displays are for
entering the password while entering or leaving the vault room. Once hardware is
designed cabinet box is use to connect PLC with the bank security model. A basic
wiring diagram is as shown in Figure 7. The PLC supplied with DC power 24V and then
I/O card supplied with DC 24V. The common for input card is 24VDC. Using a smart
relay means that ordinary switches (with open or closed positions) can be used in
place of two position switches. The switches are identified as S1 and S2 in the wiring
diagram above. S1 and S2 are connected to inputs I1 and I2 on the smart relay. The
operating principle is as follows: Each time the status of inputs I1 and I2 changes, the
status of output Q1 also changes which controls the lamp L1, in our care is can be one
of the gates. The figure above is just for the illustration purpose only.
Schneider Zelio SR3B261BD 16/10
Smart relays are designed to simplify the electrical wiring of intelligent solutions. A
smart relay is very simple to implement. Its flexibility and its high performance allow
users to save significant amounts of time and money. A Zelio SR3B261BD is typically
digital device using relay on the output. Generally voltage limits is between 19.2 – 30V,
and 4mA discrete current input. It has 16 inputs and 10 outputs connected to the 24V
DC power supply with the power 0.2W and max current 8A or 5A with conversion error
±5% at 25 ºC, and ±6.2% at 55 ºC. It has local display on the main side. Number or
color scheme lines &lt;= 200 with FBD programming and 120 with ladder programming.
Response time is 10ms (from state 0 to state 1) for relay output, and 5ms (from state 1
to state 0) for relay output. Ambient air temperature for operation is between-20 ºC
and +40 ºC. Instead of relay we can used also transistors which are more productive
and more frequently used in the practice. Relay can handle more current then
transistor output but the transistor output is faster than relay because of that there is
no mechanical time constant like the relay mechanical contact, also the durability
of the transistor output is higher from the number of ON/OFF point of view. One thing
to consider is that, most PLCs with transistor outputs, is cheaper than PLC with relay
outputs, and of course it has a longer life also it is faster, so it offers more options than a
simple relay output. We should always use transistor output cards and put an interface
relays to protect them against any damage. In other words, use a transistor output to
trigger a relay, and connect the load to the relay. Relay Outputs typically can handle
a larger load and either AC or DC signals. Most PLCs are typically 2 amp relays. A
typical transistor output is 5 amps. Unless you’re running lights or other low current
devices, you will require an interposing device, be it solid state relay or mechanical

relay. The greatest advantages of a transistor output are speed and life cycle. They
can turn on in 1 ms or less and with no armature or moving parts, will last much longer
than a relay. Keep in mind that whether relay or transistor, life cycle will depend on the
amount of current required to turn on the output device. The higher the current, the
shorter the life cycle and vice versa. It is amazing how many PLC manufacturers offer
products with less than adequate output ratings, given the many uses for PLCs. Even
with a 2 amp relay output, many applications still require interposing relays. You would
think that they would take this into account when designing their products.
System software
The main task is concerning software development to make modules according to the
Hardware diagram and model. Zelio Soft 2 is program used to make these modules
that are written in Function Block Diagram (FBD).
Function Block Diagram PLC
Function Block Diagrams (FBD) is a graphical language that allows the user
to program elements in “blocks”. The blocks can then be wired together like electrical
circuits. FBD is one of the languages supported by IEC 1131.
A function block diagram is a diagram which describes a function between input
variables and output variables. A function is described as a set of elementary blocks.
Inputs and outputs of the blocks are wired together with connection lines, or links.
Single lines may be used to connect two logical points of the diagram:
• An input variable and an input of a block.
• An output of a block and an input of another block.
• An output of a block and an output variable.
Zelio Soft 2 is a comprehensive multilingual application designed to help us program
the Zelio Logic smart relays. There are eight module categories, each displaying a
picture and a full description of the characteristics such as power supply, discreet
input/output, clock, language, screen keyboard, and reference, which makes them
very easy to identify. This program offers a simple way to configure the modules that
are written in Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram, or both. When programming,
we can set a wide range of parameters dealing with counters, winter/summer
functions, timers, auxiliary relays, fast counters. We can also set the date format, time
zone, and so on. In case of an error alarm, we can define the type of message that
will be displayed, when to send a message and who will receive it via telephone or
e-mail. We can also enter one or more users that can send control commands. Both
the user interface and the simulation languages can be switched into English, Spanish,
German, Italian, or French. This program can be downloaded and used free of charge.
It is also possible to get this programming solution on a CD from distributors. Zelio Soft 2
can run under all versions of Windows. One of the benefits of this type of PLC is Quick
programming. From an intuitive interface, create and modify programs in record time
using an extensive number of “drag and drop” pre-programmed functions. Types of
languages: Ladder and Function Block Diagram (FBD).

Software of bank security system using Function Block Diagram (FBD)
For better understanding software, FBD is divided into several stages. The first part
is used to control two front gates (doors) and weapon presence sensor (detector),
second to control vault room, and third to control the alarm system when the bank is
not working (non-working hours). More in depth about these stages will be expostulate
later on this chapter.
FBD application
There are several block which are controlling this bank security system. First one
is for detecting weapon in the bank, second one is for controlling the vault room,
and the third one is for controlling the bank when the bank is not working, means the
laser presence sensor will be activated on non-working hours. The full system will be
described on following papers.
Case I
First case is when the bank is working (working hours) and where there is no weapon
detection. So, while entering the bank the “presence sensor” which is located in front
of the gate (door) of the bank will be activated and the gate (door) will be opened.
After entering the bank the weapon “presence sensor (detector)” will detect if there
is any weapon located on the person that entered the bank. If all clean, the person
will be able to enter to the main hall of the bank after employee press the “Switch” to
open the second gate (door).

Case I
20 ICESoS 2016 - Proceedings Book

�Regional Economic Development: Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Case II
Second case is when the bank is working (working hours) but where the weapon
detection is detected. So, while entering the bank the “presence sensor” which is
located in front of the gate (door) of the bank will be activated and the gate (door)
will be opened. After entering the bank the “weapon presence sensor (detector)”
will detect if there is any weapon located on the person that entered the bank. In this
case the person that entered the bank had weapon and the “alarm” and “indicator
light” are in “On” state. All gates are closed, and even if the employee is forced to
open the gate by pressing the “Switch”, he will not be able to open because when the
alarm is in “On” state, only the “Switch” in the security room can turn “Off” the “alarm”
and then the gate (door) can be opened, otherwise when the “alarm” is in “On”
state, nothing can be opened till alarm goes to “Off” state. So, the person who has
the weapon can only surrender to the police or to the security employee in the bank.
After the person decide to surrender, the security guy can turn “On” the “Switch” in
the security room and the “alarm” will be in “Off” state. But still employee that is in
charge to open gate (door) cannot open the gate (door) until security employee
comes and open the gate (door) from the other side. So, to conclude this, only the
security employee can switch “Off” the “alarm” and can open the gate (door) after
the alarm went to “Off” state from the “On” state.

Case II
ICESoS 2016 - Proceedings Book 21

�International Conference on Economic and Social Studies (ICESoS’16)
Case III
Third case is when the bank is working (working hours), but now the bank employee
wants to enter to vault room. So, if the bank employee wants to enter to vault room,
he/she will need to press the “Switch” for opening the gate (door) of the vault room.
After pressing the “Switch” which opens the gate (door) of the vault room, the “display”
which is located in front of the vault room will ask the employee to enter the password
to be able to enter to vault room. If the employee has entered the right password, the
gate (door) of the vault room will open and the employee can enter. After employee
has entered into vault room, the “presence sensor” which is located in the vault room
will close the gate (door) of the vault room, and the “small alarm” and “indicator light”
will be in “On” state to indicate that somebody is in vault room. When employee wants
to leave the vault room, he/she will need to press the “Switch” which is located inside
the vault room to open the gate (door) of the vault room. When “Switch” is in the “On”
state, again employee will need to enter the password, but this time different one,
because for the more security, and if employee has entered the right password, the
gate (door) of the vault room will open. After employee has left the vault room, the
“presence sensor” will detect that there is nobody in vault room and sensor will close
gate (door) of the vault room. And the “small alarm” and “indicator light” will go to
“Off” state.

Case III

Case III
Case IV
Case four is when the bank is not working (non-working hours). All gates are closed
and only the “laser presence sensor” is in “On” state. If nothing happens in the bank,
the “laser presence sensor” will go to “Off” state when working hours of the bank start.
But, if somebody wants to robber the bank, the “laser” will detect the criminal and the
“alarm” and “indicator light” will be activated and they will be in “On” state. None
of the gates (doors) can be opened till “alarm” is in “On” state. Again, only person in
security room can shut down the “alarm” and only after that gates (doors) can be
opened.

Case IV

Conclusion
This chapter summarized the concept of this thesis. Chapter 2 shows some basic
properties of Zelio PLC like function, construction, operation, application etc. Chapter
3 explains very useful method of PLC application in the field. Also in this chapter was
construction of the model, wiring system, advantages and disadvantages of the relay
and transistor output are mentioned. In Chapter 4, developed application is presented
using FBD. An Intelligent Bank Security System that used the PLC to control a security in
the bank has been successfully developed. The PLC program (FBD) for implement the
two modes of bank security system operation; Working hours Mode and Non-Working
hours Mode, have been designed completely and can be operated effectively.
All testing has been done successfully, without any error. The aim of this project is to
minimize the robbery in banks and it is accomplished successfully. The primary aim
of this project is to demonstrate the usefulness of the programmable logic controller
(PLC) or programmable controller and how it can be implemented in the field. The
usefulness of the built program is that it can be used in various applications and can
be extended to have additional features. It is almost impossible to give all possible
future work concerning extended built code, but because it has various advantages it
can be used to extend the bank security system, airport security system, jewelry stores,
other important buildings, etc.

                <text>Abstract: The aim of this project is to solve the bank security problems (robbery, illegal  weapons, and the safety of employees) caused by lack of the security in the banks.  This project is divided into two parts which are hardware and software. A kind of bank  security system by using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) was designed, and  the automatic control of the bank security system was performed by software. The  hardware part is the model of one bank containing two front doors, one door of the  vault room, and some sensors. The limit switches, doors and sensors are connected to  Zelio PLC Schneider SR3B261BD. The PLC controls every signal which is coming from  the inputs (Limit switch) to software and display to the outputs (Doors). Using software,  Function Block Diagrams (FBD) are programmed to control the traffic light.</text>

                <text>This paper presents the design, implementation, and validation of DocuBook, a web-based business management application developed to reduce the administrative burden on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The system addresses critical challenges related to regulatory compliance, document management, and financial record-keeping by replacing error-prone, paper-based processes with a structured and secure digital platform. Developed using the Django framework, DocuBook provides centralized management for outgoing (KIF) and incoming (KUF) invoices, protocol-registered documents, and daily cash flow (DP) entries. Its modular architecture ensures maintainability and supports future expansion. The application has been successfully deployed in a live business environment, where it has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing administrative overhead, minimizing human error, and streamlining compliance procedures. The project confirms that a tailored, lightweight solution can significantly modernize operations for local businesses without the complexity and cost of large-scale enterprise systems.</text>

ABSTRACT
Heating requirements of a biogas reactor requires advanced calculations based on environmental
conditions like; temperature, solar irridance and etc. Thus a computer simulation program was
developed to calculate the overall heat balance on 5 different scenarios of reactor design concept
for Isparta (Turkiye) conditions. Moreover model includes gained solar energy amount relevant
to diameter, location of reactors (longittude, altitude), under ground reactor construction.
Obtained data is not validated with an experimental data but model results give some detailed
overview in terms of engineering design

                <text>The paper focuses on the concept of cultural awareness in the context of teaching languages to young learners. The whole language approach and aspects of intercultural learning are popular in educational policies as children by the age of 10 develop holistically. Namely, young learners gain knowledge about social conventions, customs, and lifestyles and develop understanding of similarities and differences between different communities. They develop their attitude to their own culture and foreign cultures. Then, early foreign language education involves teaching culture. The following research problem was formulated: What are the ways in which cultural awareness is introduced in English materials for young learners? The idea is to analyse a selected number of syllabuses and course books to identify the latest approaches to teaching culture through English in Polish primary schools. The project will involve the analysis of goals, content and activities with a cultural focus in English teaching materials.   </text>

Albania has great natural and infrastructure resources for the development
of fisheries and aquaculture sector, commerce and industry of fishery
processing products etc. So Albania has a coastline of about 474 km long,
an extensive network of hydrograph.
It ranks in the first countries in Europe in terms of water resources. The
hydrographic basin of Albania has an area of 43 300 km² or 57% more than
the territory of the state of our country and 50.000 km rivers and streams,
1,100 km² surface of lake water and sufficient artificial reservoirs.
In this article all these resources will be analyzed in detail; it will be also
analyzed the identification and further development of these resources,
which have special importance in building strategies and policies in the
direction of further development of this sector aiming at increasing
production, paying attention to the sustainable use of these resources
without damage on the biodiversity and the environment.
Research in this field is carried out mainly by universities, mostly from the
Agricultural University of Tirana. The Ministry of Agriculture in
collaboration with Ministry of Environment Forests and Water
Administration, has played an important role in constructing strategies for
the development of this sector as well as commerce and industry of fishery
products processing through projects MEDITS and AdriaMed where an
important place has the study of ecological and environmental effects,
mainly in the lagoons in cases of fishing beyond manufacturing capacity.
Very important are also the infrastructure and human resources, which
give weight to the development of this sector. In this country there are 4
ports that develop fishing activities, where the most important is the
largest port in the country, the port of Durres. Social effects of the
development of this sector are also important in studies, mainly in terms of
employment and community consumption per habitants, which is 3.3 kg /

Introduction
Albania has a coastline of about 474 km long, an extensive network of hydrograph. It
ranks in the first countries in Europe in terms of water resources. The hydrographic basin
of Albania has an area of 43 300 km² or 57% more than the territory of the state of our
country and 50.000 km rivers and streams, 1,100 km² surface of lake water and sufficient
artificial reservoirs. Under these conditions, concluded that Albania has sufficient assets to
develop fishing and aquaculture in promising levels. In this context, it is necessary to
undertake studies in this field in terms of the assessment of these natural resources,
methods of rational using and sustainable development of fisheries. Albania has also
infrastructure and human resources that enhance the development of this sector. In this
country there are 4 ports that develop fishing activities, where the most important is the
largest port in the country, the port of Durres.
Research in this field is performed mainly by universities, mostly from the Agricultural
University of Tirana. The Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration with the Ministry of
Environment Forests and Water Administration, has played an important role in managing
strategies for the development of this sector as well as commerce and industry of fishery
products processing through projects MEDITS and AdriaMed where an important place
has the study of ecological and environmental effects, mainly in the lagoons in cases of
fishing beyond manufacturing capacity.
In this paper, will mostly analyzed issues of sustainable development of this economic
activity, emphasising on integrating its management with other sectors of the economy and
services.
Factors that have influenced in the development of fisheries and aquaculture
In recent years, Albania fisheries have become dynamically developing sectors of the food
industry, and many private agencies have takenmeasurest by investing in modern fishing
fleets and processing factories in response to growing international demand of international
trade for fish and fishery products. Actually, the value of fishery and aquaculture from
catches, estimated at about 40 million $, which 22 million $ represents fishing at sea,
coastal and inland waters, 8 million $ aquaculture and the remaining represents mussels.1
The factors that influence in the development of fisheries and aquaculture in Albania are:
Natural Resources
Albania possesses important natural resources in service to the development of the
fisheries and aquaculture sector, based mainly on the abundant water resources.
Inthiscontext, Albania possesses:


470 km of coastline and 12 miles marine territorial waters. Waters of the Adriatic
and Ionian Sea exploited extensively for fishing. Here exert their activity the most
important ports in the country like Durres, Vlora, Saranda and Shengjin. In the
table below are given the indicators of species that grow along the Albanian coast.

In Ohrid and Prespa Lake produced mostly Trout and Koran. According to the data
obtained in the Korca Inspectorate of Fisheries, their contribution to the total production
varies 75-80%. For this production are raised several facilities in Lin, Tushemisht,
Zagorcan and Zvesda.

Important lagoon surface lagoon about 10,000 ha with a fish yield ranging from 4297 kg / ha.Coastal lagoons as intermediate salty ecosystems between land and marine
waters are aquatic environments with high productivity and biodiversity which
realize the enrichment with fish and clams of the coastal zone. Narta lagoon classified
as lagoons with the highest fish production, while for the production of different
mollusks distinguishes lagoon of Butrinti.

Early traditions of development of this sector. Fishing and aquaculture are developed very
early, through traditional methods mainly in Shkodra, Ohrid and Prespa lakes and in
coastal lagoons like Narta, Butrint, etc. The old format and fishing craft were
developed mainly in the coastal area, in the area of catkins up to 2-3 miles away
from the Adriatic coast and 1 mile from the Ionian Sea.Traditional fishing is
inherited from generation to generation. Fishermen in this category have better
recognition not only in the preparation of nets, boats and fishing boat for fishing
areas but also in the techniques of using fishing vessels .
Favorable geostrategic position and proximity to regional markets. Albania possesses a
favorable geographical and strategic position. The diversity of hydrological resources and

4

typical Mediterranean climate conditions favored the development of the fisheries sector.
A special importance is the country's transit position and close distances to markets in the
Balkan region and beyond. Albania is bordered by Montenegro to the northwest, Kosovo
to the north, the Republic of Macedonia to the east and Greece to the south. Many foreign
researchers have evaluated Albania a country "gateway" or "gateway-tie" as an important
transit center linking the East with the West.

The development of tourism as a safe market for this sector.
Domestic and foreign tourists represent an important consumer for the market and the

fishing industry. According to the Ministry of Tourism, in 2011 Albania was visited by 4
million visitors.
Numerous recreational marine lakes and lagoons, enhance the alternatives to the
development of recreational fishing as a sustainable form of this sector to support the
further development of tourism. The concept of recreational fishing entails all types of
fishing activities including sport fishing activities undertaken by any individual, with or
without a boat, for leisure purposes, and does not involve the selling of fish or other
aquatic organisms. As far as could be determined, six countries in the area, namely
Albania, Croatia, Greece, Slovenia, Spain and the Syrian Arab Republic, have established
a licensing system for individual recreational fishers.
Strengthening the legal framework and timely involvement of Albania in important
regional and international conventions. Albanian legislation in the field of fisheries is
based on the principles of exploitation of fish resources in a sustainable way and precedes
the development of the fishing sector. The general principles of this legislation are based
on the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries of FAO, and also it defines relations
between Albania and other countries for fisheries and aquaculture through the obligations
of each country, to ensure compliance with the rules that apply to fishing. Instruments and
agreements relating to the management of fishing in Albania are listed below.
The 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (ratified in June 2003)
1995 Code of FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fishing (implemented as a voluntary code
1997)
Implementation of the 1993 FAO Agreement (received in May 2005)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) (ratified in July 2003)
International Commission for the conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) (observation status)
1957 European Fisheries Advisory Commission of the Internal Waters (EIFAC)
Law 9055 dated 24.4.2003 "On the accession of the Republic of Albania to the" Convention on the
Law of the Sea, Organization of United Nations
Law No. 9401 dated 19.05.2005 "On the accession of the Republic of Albania" Agreement to
promote compliance with international measures of management and conservation of resources by
fishing vessels on the open seas

In summary Albania through these potentials, has all the possibilities to increase
productivity in the domestic and foreign market, to increase exports to the EU and
regional markets competing with high quality.
The development of coastal and lake fishing
The development of fishing and increasing production and consumption of fish goes in
parallel with the development of the fishing fleet. The fishing fleet is based on 4 bays
(Durres, Shengjin, Vlora and Saranda). In 1946 was built the first professional fishing ship
near the port of Durres.The fishing fleet was gradually improved in quality as well as a
number, where in 1960 the number of fishing vessels with different power and capacity
reached 30. The sardine fleet consisted of 60 vessels fishing out of which 28 in Vlora, 12
in Durres, 12 in Shengjin and 8 in Saranda. For their processing were established the first
factories for the production of canned in 1970. With the liberalization of the economy, in
1993 fishing fleet was privatized and at the same time Albania imported about 150 fishing
boats, mainly in Italy but also from Greece.

During the first decade of transition production in fisheries has increased at lower rates
and this is due to:


Amortization of the existing fish fleet as a result of old age. Most of the fishing
vessels have an age range from 25 years to 40 years, but there are also ships over
60 years. Repair of fishing vessels conducted partly in Durres, in military ports
and mostly in neighboring ports.
 Losing a part of the fleet during the mass emigration in 1991, but also in 1997.
The ships that were used to send the emigrants in Italy were the type of trawl
fishing, the bigger and more able to afford over the Adriatic
 Lack of port and ancillary infrastructure
 Fall of the workforce in this sector as a result of mass immigration.

During the second decade observed fluctuations in the quantity of Fish caught as in
marine and lagoon waters. This refers to fluctuations in the production of these
ecosystems. During this period, do not always respect the norms of sustainable use of
these ecosystems. Furthermore the fishing fleet is growing at the slowest and its
maintenance and repair has been restricted.

According to the data obtained from the General Directorate of Fisheries, Albanian fleet
currently consists of 146 registered boats with engine power from 23.75 HP. The average
engine power of the fishing fleet is around 321 HP. About 71% of vessels have 120kf

Shengjini and Durres ports have greater fishing fleet average engine power compared with
other ports (average 300 HP). Mostly fishing fleet is concentrated in the Port of Durres,
which constitutes 35% of the total.
By calculating an import of fresh fish and 3185 tons of canned, fresh fish export of 550
tons and a local production of 7376 tonnes per capita consumption appears that, for a
population of 3 million people, is approximately 3:33 kg / spirit. On the other hand, fish
consumption in the country is low compared with the average Mediterranean countries is
estimated at 15.1 kg / capita (countries not members of the EU, 8.1 kg / capita and the
Mediterranean EU members 30.7 kg / capita).
According to a geographical analysis results that fish production is concentrated mostly in
the port of Durres with marine production around 1623 tons. This production represents
38% of the total production in the country.The largest concentration of production in the
Port of Durres related to technical indicators of quality of fleet and with the greatest
potential of the work force. An important issue is the planning of Durres fishing port, in the
western part of the commercial port, about 1.8 hectares and with a fleet of 130 fishing
ships that anchor in three Pontine.

Development of aquaculture and fishing processing industry
First Aquaculture developments recognized in the late 60s, mainly concentrated on the
cultivation of mussels (M. galloprovincialis) and shrimp (Peneaus japonicas). Albania has
only one activity of cultivation of Peneaus japonica shrimp in an area about 215 ha in
Kavaja town, built years ago and reactivated as activity through an Italian partnership.
Other cultivated species of this activity are: cold water salmonid, Oncorhynchus mykiss,
shellfish (especially M. Galloprovincialis), shrimps, and S. Aurata Koce D. Labrax bass
etc.
Political and economic changes after 1991 brought changes in these activities. All
enterprises and fish farms as for carp and trout cultivation was privatized.
Currently this activity produced about 8,000 quintals of mussels from 47 subjects, 3,000
quintals of keys and bass from 11 subjects and 50 quintals of shrimp from one enterprise.
Processing industry has its origins in 1958 to CanningVlora Combine. Its activity in this
period mainly relates to the conservation of sardines, but also the smoked eels, tuna,
acreages, shapes and octopus. Till the 1990 this activity was expanded with processing
factories in Durres and Lezha. During the transition the private and domestic investment,
increased the number of processing entities, mostly in coastal regions. For the
development of this activity highlights Lezha Region with 4 fishing processing factories.
The development of this industry has positively influenced in employment opportunities
for rural communities and improving the quality of life in these areas. Most local products
are used for export. The great advantage in this issue is the status of Albania as a "third
world country" on "setting in the European market of fishery products". It allows fishing
industry to export to neighboring countries such as Greece and Italy. In this condition
Albania is in a very favorable position compared to many other neighboring countries.
9

�International Conference on EconomicandSocialStudies (ICESoS’13), 10-11 May, 2013, Sarajevo

Actually there are 37 activities approved for export to the EU that perform processing and
marketing of fish products.All these activities are private enterprises. About a third of fish
caught in the sea that includes size and better quality species such as sea bass and wrasse,
shrimp and octopus exported contributing to the economic value of the sector.
Sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture sector
After 1991, in terms of the development of an economy in transition, the fishing control
process was low.Overexploitation of important fish stocks, modifications of ecosystems,
significant economic losses, and international conflicts on management and fish trade still
threaten the long-term sustainability of fisheries and the contribution of fisheries to food
supply. This situation led to changes in the structure population by overexploitation of
productive ecosystems primarily in the family of trout, acorn, mullets, eels, etc..During
the second decade of transition, generally exploitation of water resources and fisheries in
Albania has been rational and responsible, with the exception of some sporadic cases
where fishing takes place outside the rules and general control, mainly in rural areas.
However, the transition has generally convey difficulties in economic and legal
organizing, dictating a number of risks that affect the sustainable development of fisheries
and aquaculture sector.
A. Ecological sustainability risks in marine, river and lagoon environments
 Many fisheries resources could not sustain an often uncontrolled increase of
exploitation. This situation is mainly caused fluctuations in the production of
lakes species such as carp, skobuz, gudgeon, which are very desirable for
consumption and export. Bleak until 1990 constituted 70-75% of the total fish
production, while currently its use for processing, and sale and consumption
remains limited, even for research purposes2.
 Urban pollution in general, mainly reflected in the waters near the coast have
influenced the decrease of production of species. Fluctuations of the trout
production have been mainly that of Ohrid, because of the urban and tourist
pollution, and because of the phosphorus spill in the lake water. In a year in the
lake discharged about 150 tons of phosphorus3.
 Developments and irregular forms of fishing are another factor that threatens
production in marine, lakes and lagoon waters. Application of abusive forms of
traditional fishing as the use of explosives, poisonous etc. threaten production in
these ecosystems. Fluctuations in production has lagoons, mainly in the Karavasta
and Narta Lagoon, dictated by the irregular fishing forms in time, space, quantity
and diversity. An issue that should be noted is the weakening of the role of the
embouchure in maintaining a selective fishing, updating resources, recycling of
small fish (recruits) etc.
 The lack of specific and integrated development plans of marine, lake and lagoon
ecosystems with regional economic development and wider, in general weakens
the sustainable use of water resources and sustainable development of these
ecosystems.

Fisheries and aquaculture sector but also fisheries processing industry have been
developed for years in continual difficulties related to basic and support
infrastructure for the production and marketing of fishery products. Old age of
vessels is an important indicator in this regard, which should be evaluated in terms
of necessity investments for their repair and maintenance. On the other hand, their
depreciation increases the cost of fuel and consequently the cost of fishery products
in the market by reducing profit. According to data in the General Directorate of
Fisheries fuel cost takes a weight about 68% of the average cost, while the cost of
the equipment 9.7%, maintenance5.5%, lubricants 2.9%. Based in an economic
analysis of the General Directorate for fisheries results that the annual profit
coefficient is limited and reaches 3-12% of turnover (2200 to 11460 USD per year
per vessel). Another problem is the lack of security and repair centers of ships.
Most of them repaired in neighboring ports that increases again the cost of
production but also creates difficulties and delays in the marketing of products. A
problem to be assessed is the misery of mussel cultivation plants in Lake Butrint,
where currently only 20-50% of their capacity utilized
C. Institutionaland legal risks
 Weakness in the implementation of the development strategies of the sector as well
as management plans;
 Weaknesses in controls and supervision and enforcement of legal norms regarding
the sustainable use of marine, lake and lagoon ecosystems.
Suggestions
The excess capacity of fishing fleets has been widely recognized as a major reason for
overfishing and the degradation of marine fisheries resources throughout the world. In the
service of sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture sector, it is important
that through legal instruments, research and operational stock of local and regional
authorities be undertaken in the framework of measures:
A. Sustainableuse of productiveecosystems
 Development of fisheries in depth and shallow waters through alternative forms of
fishing in coastal and lagoon waters that are in the protection of biodiversity and fish
stocks.
 Regulation of fishing gears and methods is a common feature of fisheries legislation in
Mediterranean coastal states. This measure is designed to prevent fishers from using
particularly destructive gears or methods. One of the most common approaches is for
states to establish a list of prohibited gears and methods; explosives, chemical,
poisonous substances or electrical devices for fishing purposes are universally
prohibited.
 Legal assessment on a periodic basis for the determination of fishing days and fishing
seasons based on production balance and replication fish species.Some Mediterranean
coastal states have taken measures designed to limit the time of operation by duly
authorized fishing vessels through the implementation of days-at-sea program. Closed
season and temporary suspension of fishing operations are measures designed to ease
pressure on fish stocks by stopping fishing operations for a specified period of time.
Closed season is intended to allow species reproduction and thus coincides with the
breeding time of major commercial species. A temporary suspension of fishing
operations is a circumstantial measure that is generally taken in response to an

emergency situation, or for the purpose of allowing fishery resource recovery. In
service of this goal it is necessary to review and evaluated periodically the number of
fishing licenses in the sea and the lagoon, but also in lakes. In this context it is
necessary to control the level of fishing effort so as to adjust it to the availability of the
fishery resource and to evaluate the fishing capacity of the national fleet to determine
whether it should be reduced or could be increased under certain conditions.
Development of fishing in order to protect the lagoon ecosystem, through the creation
of lagoon areas where fishing is prohibited or restricted, recreating the links between
the lagoon and sea water, minimum landing sizes for species of fish and other aquatic
organisms are often set to prevent the capture of juvenile fish or non-fish species and
allow sufficient time for fish and the other species to mature and thus reproduce. Such
measures are necessary in Karavasta and Narta lagoon.
Minimize the impact of urban tourism and industrial pollution in marine river, lake
and lagoon ecosystems for protection of biotopes and species of special interest.

B. Infrastructure improvements in the fisheries sector.




Diversification, restructuring and modernization of the fishing fleet,
Expansion of existing ports, primarily that of Durres, maintenance and improvement
of fishery space infrastructure since the Durres holds first place among other ports for
the quantity of fish and shale production.
Establishment facilities for repairing and maintenance of fishing boats in the four
ports, in order to increase the readiness of technical indicators and operating in the
fishing fleet.
Systematic monitoring of the fleet to avoid delays in the production and sale process
Establishment of a survey and orientation unit through GIS able to pursue fishing
activity in the ports sector and provide the necessary data to support policies of
rational use of marine resources.

C. Legal andinstitutionalimproving



Establishing fishing zones by legal and institutional instruments as management tool
that allows to transfer to the local authorities the right of determining segments of
fishing operations spatially by authorizing only certain types of fishing activities by
specifying categories of vessels in each fishing zone.
Special protection by legal instruments through the establishment of lists of protected
species of fish and other marine organisms that regarded as threatened.
Legal and organizational approximation of the Common Fisheries Policy of the
European Union set by taking into account market factors and perspectives of future
development
Increasing the implementation of local and regional plans for the fishery.

                <text>Albania has great natural and infrastructure resources for the development  of fisheries and aquaculture sector, commerce and industry of fishery  processing products etc. So Albania has a coastline of about 474 km long,  an extensive network of hydrograph.  It ranks in the first countries in Europe in terms of water resources. The  hydrographic basin of Albania has an area of 43 300 km² or 57% more than  the territory of the state of our country and 50.000 km rivers and streams,  1,100 km² surface of lake water and sufficient artificial reservoirs.  In this article all these resources will be analyzed in detail; it will be also  analyzed the identification and further development of these resources,  which have special importance in building strategies and policies in the  direction of further development of this sector aiming at increasing  production, paying attention to the sustainable use of these resources  without damage on the biodiversity and the environment.  Research in this field is carried out mainly by universities, mostly from the  Agricultural University of Tirana. The Ministry of Agriculture in  collaboration with Ministry of Environment Forests and Water  Administration, has played an important role in constructing strategies for  the development of this sector as well as commerce and industry of fishery  products processing through projects MEDITS and AdriaMed where an  important place has the study of ecological and environmental effects,  mainly in the lagoons in cases of fishing beyond manufacturing capacity.  Very important are also the infrastructure and human resources, which  give weight to the development of this sector. In this country there are 4  ports that develop fishing activities, where the most important is the  largest port in the country, the port of Durres. Social effects of the  development of this sector are also important in studies, mainly in terms of  employment and community consumption per habitants, which is 3.3 kg / year of about 15 kg / year consumed by the countries of the  Mediterranean region.  At the end of this paper we will list some premises development of this  sector, recognizing it as an important output sector with great impact in  the economic and social life in the country.
