Abstract
Open parking spaces in residential areas of Tirana today are more concemed with finding suitable locations than merely accommodating a specific number of vehicles. This study aims to analyse the challenges associated with open parking within residential units and internal streets of the city. The construction of new residential complexes over the past 35 years has introduced changes in their design elements compared to the housing stock from the single-party system, prior to the 1990s. The objective is to identify and evaluate the issues arising from the unplanned allocation of parking spaces within the residual areas of residential units designed 40-50 years ago. Finally, it underscores the impact of these improvised parking solutions on urban living conditions and residential environments. Challenges posed by the lack of planned parking spaces, and their distribution within streets and squares of residential units are identifies by employing exploratory, comparative, quantitative, and qualitative methods of analysis. Questionnaires were conducted in the premises of the case study area, in order to get the insight of residents and users.
