Although Albania is making efforts at the policy and institutional levels to transition towards a modern, climate-neutral, and resource-efficient economy, it is essential to understand the community’s perspective on this process. The study examines the complex relationship between Albania’s shift towards sustainability and adaptability, explicitly emphasising the overall awareness and attitudes towards this pivotal shift among households and business communities. Employing a comprehensive socio-economic survey targeting households and businesses occupying prefabricated buildings in three areas of Tirana, the research seeks to gauge the depth of awareness and readiness of these stakeholders regarding energy-efficient solutions. Central to the investigation is exploring perceptions and attitudes, including the willingness to invest in and pay for such solutions. Shedding light on these factors provides valuable insights into the socio-economic dynamics that shape Albania’s path towards sustainability and resilience amid the imperatives of a green transition.}, type={Text}, title={Community perspectives on green transition in Albania: a socio-economic survey of households and businesses in prefabricated buildings}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/247822/WA51_284489_r2025-t49_EuropaXXI-Toska.pdf}, keywords={Albania, green transition, community perceptions, energy efficiency}, }
