Abstract

It is thought that the compact city is the best goal to prevent or reduce the negative effects of urbanization on the environment. Therefore, this work focuses on the use of controlled urban planning parameters and zoning parameters, during the drafting of the urban development plan in Kosovo, which in most cases are ignored. The aim of this paper is to find a way to develop compact and sustainable cities in Kosovo, and is based on quantitative research. The paper evaluates the built area within “urban zones” in order to identify the expansion tendencies of settlements, with the aim of contributing to preventing future uncontrolled developments. Additionally, land use should be in full compliance with spatial plans, both national and local. In this case, the treatment of the city of Kaçanik was taken as an example for Kosovo's conditions, based on the demographic potential, intensity of land use, style of construction, with the implementation of the zoning parameters, showing the way of land use, which should be in harmony with the concepts of sustainable development.
