      abstract = {This paper presents the plans being made in Albania to  establish an immovable property registration system in the  most efficient way. It considers not only technically  modern equipment and computer-related problems but also  social and economic feasibility. In Albania, the immovable  property registration system is necessary in order to face  successfully the new conditions of the free market-oriented  economy. For about 50 years, property ownership in Albania  was restricted to the State. The 1991 land reform in  Albania advanced quickly, and at present over 90 percent of  agricultural land is distributed to farmers, though in  highly fragmented holdings (totaling an average area  average of 2 hectares), creating about 1.8 million new  parcels registered in the cadastral district offices. In  urban areas, housing privatization was also completed  quickly, creating about 300,000 new properties in cities,  which are being registered in the Hipoteka (deed registry)  district offices. Although market transactions in  agriculture land are not yet allowed (though enabling  legislation is expected to be passed soon), many land  transactions have taken place. The housing market is  already very active. Conflicts exist, especially in urban  areas, between ex-owners of the land and buildings, and the  state or present occupants. Therefore, it is highly  desirable to establish a property registration system in  Albania quickly and yet with careful planning. This paper  presents the registration information system model.},
