Despite the trends for usage of digital technology that is well known by the new generations, the implementation of digital cartography and GIS tools is not an obligatory part of the high school educational system in Kosovo. The Geo-SEE Institute from Skopje initiated its second project for pre-university students, this time at the high school "Kuvendi i Lezhes" in Viti city of Kosova. The project resulted by establishing of the geopackage database for the municipality of Viti, of which 8 maps with 8 different themes were compiled and printed, as well as the online OpenStreetMap database of the entire city of Viti was updated by the students by performing the field identification, which ultimately resulted with compiled map of the city of Viti.

Through them, users can have immediate access to geographic information from anywhere, adding a dimension of understanding of awareness about products and the environment around them. Mobile GIS applications are platforms that allow users to explore, analyze and share geographic information through mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. These applications are built based on geographic information systems and use Internet technologies to provide quick and easy access to maps and geographic data. The content of these applications may include interactive maps, location information, and interaction with geographic data. Users can browse geographic space, perform various analyses, and share geographic information with others from their mobile devices. This also brings a new dimension to everyday life, integrating geographic information into daily activities and making it a valuable tool for many different fields, including urbanism, environment, territorial development, and many others. In this paper, contents such improving mobility, suitable functionalities for mobile devices, information sharing, security and integrity, built-in functions, intuitiveness of usage, filtering, and analyses, using of social links, application development process, technologies and programming languages, mobile application design, as well as core technologies for developing and using of mobile GIS applications will be presented in conference presentation and described in full manuscript.

The main aim of this project is to enable a sustainable source of geospatial information, including important details on the characteristics of rivers and roads networks, as well as to make an easy working environment for performing spatial analysis by all stakeholders as an integrated database for the river and road network analysis. Developed platform could facilitate local administration for monitoring, management and maintenance of geospatial data which are under responsibilities. This platform will be able to assist not only the municipality but also other responsible institutions such as MESPI (Ministry of Environment, Spatial Planning, and Infrastructure), which are involved in the analysis and planning of road and hydrographic networks, also all stakeholders. The presentation and paper will present the developed platform and its usage by various user levels, as well as its updates and maintenance.

As we all know, floods are one of the most common natural disasters, with dangerous risks that can have negative effects ecosystems, threats to human life and negative impact on the states economics. Also, floods are becoming even more common natural disasters every day as a cause of climate change. This study will show how to establish a model for flood-prone areas in Kosovo. To show these areas (flood-prone areas) were used: GIS software, Multi-Criteria Decision-Making, and Analytical Hierarchy Process. Using Analytical Hierarchy Process or AHP were calculated the weights of each factor based on importance in relation to flood risk. Using Multi-Criteria Decision Making were comparing the layers based on the weights generated from AHP to get as a result a layer (that will be shown in a map) that represents the risk from floods in all of Kosovo. The data that we will use to create this model will be gathered from sources that offer free and open geospatial data, such as the data for elevation, rainfall, etc. As the result of this study, it will be shown a map with a layer classified in five categories that covers the territory of Kosovo and represent the level of risk from floods. These risk levels are: very high, high, moderate, low, very low.

With the Republic of Kosova's rather complex geopolitical history, it provides a compelling plane of study for examining the transformation of the border across different map projections. This study tends to analyze the different variations of Kosovo's border when portrayed on diverse map projections and evaluating the implications for special perception. While utilizing Quantum Geographic Information Systems (QGIS) software, this research compares Kosova's borders, their Municipalities and their Cadastral Zones within, undergone different map projections. The study elucidates linear distortions, angular deformations and area distortions that arise from each projection's background mathematical framework. The findings of this research contribute to cartographic theory and practical use for applications, filling the need for critical engagement with map projections in spatial analysis and decision-making processes.

While the main purpose of creating a tourist map is to provide an accessible and informative guide to the city’s attractions, amenities, and points of interest, the procedure includes various key steps such as collecting data and selecting only the data that is useful and should be featured in our map, map designing and user testing. The collected data used in creating the tourist map for the municipality of Gjakova belongs to different resources including topographic maps for said location, orthophotos, and basemaps provided by the software. The map also includes additional information about each official tourist location featured on the map, with the simple intention of making the map as informative as possible. Map designing and user testing are two components closely intertwined because while designing the map we should always aim to keep the content as simple and as easy to understand as we can. This is when user testing comes in handy. Doing as many user tests as we could, helped us understand how helpful and effective is our map design to different groups of people with different professional backgrounds. The contents of this map are designed in both languages: Albanian and English. This speaks of its bilingual character, which makes it very useful for both local and international tourists.

He was born in the city of Shkodra on July 11, 1928, in a simple and patriotic family originating from Malësia e Madhe. He completed primary and secondary school in the city of Shkodra, city with cultural traditions. At the age of 16, as a participant in the fight for the liberation of the country, he became an effective member of the IV Kosovo Brigade, while at the end of the war in 1944, at his request, he moved from the Kosovo area to the Shkodra Regional Command. After graduating from high school, he worked for about 15 months as a teacher in the village of Dodç in Malësia e Madhe. In the period November 1948 - July 1953 he completed his higher studies with the grade of "excellent" in the branch of geodetic engineering of the Higher Institute of Geodesy, Aero photography and Cartography in Moscow. After returning to Albania (1953), he was appointed senior geodetic specialist at the sector of Geodesy, Geology,...

This study will show how to establish a model for flood-prone areas in Kosovo. To show these areas (flood-prone areas) were used: GIS software, Multi-Criteria Decision-Making, and Analytical Hierarchy Process. Using Analytical Hierarchy Process or AHP were calculated the weights of each factor based on importance in relation to flood risk. Using Multi-Criteria Decision Making were comparing the layers based on the weights generated from AHP to get as a result a layer (that will be shown in a map) that represents the risk from floods in all of Kosovo. The data that we will use to create this model will be gathered from sources that offer free and open geospatial data, such as the data for elevation, rainfall, etc.
As the result of this study, it will be shown a map with a layer classified in five categories that covers the territory of Kosovo and represent the level of risk from floods. These risk levels are: very high, high, moderate, low, very low.
