The Qark Tirana ( Albanian  Qarku i Tiranës ) is one of the twelve Qarks in Albania . It is located in central Albania and has an area of ​​1652 square kilometers. The population is 749,365 (2011). The population density is the highest in the country with 462 inhabitants per square kilometer. Tirana is the capital.

geography

The Qark Tirana includes in particular the regions around the two cities of Tirana and Kavaja , the two former districts of Kavaja and Tirana . In the southwest it borders the Adriatic Sea . Between the coastal plain around Kavaja and the plain of Tirana as well as along the southern border there is little developed hill country. To the east of Tirana rises the Skanderbeg Mountains , in which the local mountain of the city of Dajti is located. There is no direct road between the two districts of the Qark - all traffic goes through Durrës .

The ore flows through the qark in the center of the area . In the city of Tirana, it is the Lana and the Tirana River that both flow to Ishëm . The Shkumbin also forms the Qark border with Fier in the southwest . There are numerous lakes, reservoirs and reservoirs throughout the region. The largest are the Bovilla Reservoir north and the Liqeni i Farkës east of Tirana.

To the northwest of the qark lies Qark Durrës , northeast of Qark Dibra , southeast of Qark Elbasan and in the southwest of Qark Fier .

population

The Qark is the most populous in Albania. The strong internal migration since the end of communism has led to a significant increase in the population in the greater Tirana- Durrës area. In the 2011 census, the Statistical Office of Albania's Instituti i Statistikës recorded 749,365 inhabitants, which is still a population increase of over 25% in ten years when the population was 597,899 people.

62.29 percent of the Qark's inhabitants are Islamic Sunnis , plus the Bektashites with a share of 2.66 percent. 5.3 percent of the population are Catholic Christians, 5.06 percent Orthodox , 0.24 percent Protestant and 0.11 percent other Christians. 3.95 percent of people are believers but not professing a religion, and 2.74 percent are atheists. In 2011, 15.19 percent of people gave no information about their beliefs.
