The success in the reforms of the public administrations in major part depends, on the public functionaries and their willingness to make fundamental changes in the way they work. In this direction, the State should strengthen and modernize the public service, should realize an employment system, which should reflect more the merits on its service.For this reason, the government’s attempts should be concentrated on the construction of a positive image for the state and its administration as professional objective, which is oriented to the services. Being aware for the practical restrictions of this study, we firstly chose to concentrate on the local public administrations ethics. The study will be focused on the practical comparative analysis of the city of Shkodra and Durres by the realization of a questionnaire by each of these municipalities and the Agency of Legalization and Urbanization of Informal Zones (ALUIZNI) in Shkodra.

Summary

Introduction

This paper aims to highlight the importance of handling the issues of ethics in public administration, the confrontation of their social responsibilities in relation to public administration, local or central to the community. In the Albanian society the human values, the sense of responsibility to perform the tasks for which one gets paid, and the respect for the values are greatly shaken. From the observations of the performance of the public administration in this prolonged transition, it is not difficult to understand that local or central government of the Albanian administration leave much to be desired with its image to the public, with low quality in the implementation of the tasks imposed by the law, with the high level of corruption etc
