From the terrain documentation which was based on photographic assessment and the information from citizens (in the role of informants), the general situation is summarized in the scheme above. Despite the difficulties in assessing the interventions in hotels, due to privatization and request for privacy, the information gathered served the research to understand their use, their actual physical state and type of property88. In relation with 34 Hotels, the results show that 76% are private properties, from which around 50% are functioning as hotel. A percentage of 15% of the buildings still remains public. These hotels correspond to institutional organisms which have adapted the space for administrative use. In less than 10% of the buildings which considered with no property, are included the demolished and the ones with unresolved ownership issues. Almost 70% of these structures are reconstructed, but only 44% of them have preserved the original structure, the architectural language and principles, whiles the 26% have partially or completely changed their external image. The reconstruction process itself has been a product of privation operations based on individuality, not strategic, inclusive, planned approach.
6.4 Relation of the Hotel “Turizmi” with the urban Morpology The integration of the hotel with the urban morphology is not a scope in itself in Socialist Albania, since the primary aim is to identify and discern the presence of the hotel in the widest perspectives of the city. This can be acknowledged by the presence of the hotels along the main roads, in the main city square, crossroads or as a culminating point of an axis.
