Public green spaces are very important in the urban structure, both on environmental and social level. Renovation may be necessary, but the process must involve complexity.The objective of this research is to define the main criteria of a successful renovation process, using two case studies - the Lucius-Burckhardt-Platz in Kassel, Germany, and the ‘Parku i lodrave’ in the city of Peja, Kosovo, where the recent intervention had rather negative effects. The paper considered aspects as community activity, key functions, visual elements, accessibility, safety, well-being and maintenance.The transformation of these spontaneously developed, liveable spaces into renewed but abandoned parks was explained by the lack of correlation between the analysis of function, public needs, and the dominance of aesthetics.

A crucial point during the transition process of a country is the rule of law. This process is not easy and is often followed by negative outcomes. Illegal, uncontrolled and unplanned construction is one of them. This spreads process is usually very fast and spreads rapidly across the whole territory of the country. Similar to other countries of the Balkan Region, Kosovo has been dealing with this issue as well and has undergone a treatment process of equipping those buildings with legalizing permits. The law for constructions treatment without permit entered into force in 2014 and is implemented by the M inistry of Environment and Spatial Planning. As a result some building owners responded positively to the process and applied, however that number is not at a satisfying and in the recent months the process for legalization permits is being faced by a low number of applications. The main objective of this research is the identification of the actual challenges in the legalization process and how to turn them around to success. This will be achieved through data collection from legalization applicants and interviews with representative legalization officers from the Balkans who managed to have better results through a more simplified legalization process.

Since the beginning of human existence, housing is considered one of the basic elements for survival and protection from difficult natural conditions. The purpose of this research is to treat underground homes, as a new form of residence. In addition, the study will seek to discover the underground houses that were developed in Switzerland, China and Greece as constructions and that have gained good results in the field of housing, integration of outdoor construction, design and saving energy. The research is intended to serve as a basic, basis for informing the typologies, advantages, and disadvantages of the underground houses. Moreover, the topic addresses the advantages and opportunities of underground houses that can be developed in our country, which of the typologies is preferred based on research and conditions such as the extent of the land, climate and culture that our country possesses. The research reaches to the result of the definition of typology, its function, and the project proposal that can be considered adequate under the country's conditions.

The research deals with the analysis of the Hotels, where as a case study is taken Kosovo. Focus study were the cities with the greatest number of people, namely those which are visited more by tourists. The research is based on analytical method, which helps in the final results. Analyzed in terms of functional objects, architectural, access to the facility, their capacity and conditions that they offer guests. The classification of buildings is done in two groups; a) Those built before 1999 and b) Those built after 1999. Analysis show that cases of hotels built before 1999, which once met all the requirements in terms of functional, architectural and urban planning, today some of them lack any of the basic elements, characteristic of a hotel. Furthermore, from analysis few hotels built after 1999, meet the functional elements in terms of interior space, but on the other hand they lack in urban and architectural aspects.
