Albania is a neo-tectonic region with high seismic intensity. Two of thirds of Albania area is built by hills and mountains, which are much affected from tectonics and neotectonics events. These events have played a main role in the slopes stability, from which are formed many landslides, where are damaged and destructed a lot of engineering objects as population buildings; heritage and historic center, roads and geoenvironment of urban areas. In this paper we present the mass movements-earth slides, earth flow, rockslides, which are caused from tectonics phenomena in the main town of Albania. The present paper is based to the engineering geological investigations carried out in the Albanian area during the year 2000–2007. It takes under consideration some more serious stability slopes, where besides engineering objects (buildings, heritage and historic center, roads etc.) are threaten population life from the development of this phenomenon. That's why are carried out a lot of studies in urban areas, as Lezha, Kruja, Tirana, Durresi, Gjirokastra, Vlora etc. towns, where are occurred landslides on hills and mountains slopes, which are much favored by tectonics and neotectonics, processes.
