  • Almaty–Issyk-Kul Alternative Road Economic Impact Assessment
    Almaty–Issyk-Kul Alternative Road Economic Impact Assessment Almaty, a vibrant metropolis in Kazakhstan, is only kilometers away from lake Issyk-Kul in the Kyrgyz Republic, renowned for its mountains and moderate summers. However, the two destinations are separated by two magnificent mountain ranges. To bypass these mountains, the existing road stretches over ­ kilometers, leading to long travel times. This economic impact assessment analyzes what impact a more direct road between the two destinations would have for tourism and economic development in both Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic. The report provides economically viable solutions that, within a supportive policy environment, would lead to strong economic development within the region. About Almaty–Bishkek Economic Corridor The Almaty–Bishkek Economic Corridor (ABEC) is the pilot economic corridor under the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program. The motivation for ABEC is that Almaty and Bishkek can achieve far more together than either can achieve alone. The two cities are only ­ kilometers apart with relatively high economic density concentrated in services in the cities and agriculture in their hinterlands. Both Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic have acceded to the Eurasian Economic Union and the World Trade Organization. CAREC corridors and Belt and Road Initiative routes cross ABEC. The historic Silk Route, mountain ranges, and Lake lssyk-Kul underline the potential for tourism. But trade, especially in agricultural goods and services, between the two countries is below potential, and the region does not yet benefit from being one economic space. About the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Program The Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program is a partnership of member countries and development partners working together to promote development through cooperation, leading to accelerated economic growth and poverty reduction.

  • Sdjr06020 Summary
    Integrated Development Plan of the Issyk-Kul Zone Summary 8 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT Environmental Capacity and Pollutant Loads For the integrated regional development plan of the Issyk-Kul zone, the strategic environmental assessment (SEA) has been applied to evaluate overall pollutant loads to be caused by changes in land use and development projects envisaged under the moderate growth scenario. As discussed previously, the most sensitive is the pollution of water quality in the Issyk-Kul Lake. Under the moderate growth scenario, the lake water quality will be degraded to some extent as predicted in the table below. The extent of pollutant loads in terms of BOD, total nitrogen (NH4-N, NO2-N and NO3-N) and total phosphorus (PO4-P) appears to be permissible in the light of international standards for lake water quality. Table S.10 Predicted Water Quality under Moderate Growth Scenario (mg/l) Current Moderate Growth Scenario Permissible (2002) 2010 2025 Level BOD 0.61 0.66 0.75 1 T-N 0.15 0.16 0.18 0.2 T-P 0.0011 0.0012 0.0014 0.005 Source: JICA Study Team Quality of river water flowing into the Issyk-Kul Lake should also be assessed and monitored.

  • Vitality of the Kyrgyz Language in Bishkek
    ISSN: 2158-7051 ==================== INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RUSSIAN STUDIES ==================== ISSUE NO. 5 ( 2016/2 ) VITALITY OF THE KYRGYZ LANGUAGE IN BISHKEK SIARL FERDINAND*, FLORA KOMLOSI** Summary During the first decades after its independence from the USSR, Kyrgyzstan has intended to make of Kyrgyz a real state language. Since then, a new generation has been born and raised in the independent Kyrgyz Republic. Their linguistic behaviour may have a profound effect in the future of Kyrgyz. This study examines the linguistic situation in Bishkek. A questionnaire given to 125 students aged between 14 and 18 and direct observation in the streets were used to collect data. The preliminary results of the research show both, an almost total lack of interest in the state language by the local non-Kyrgyz students and a very weak attitude towards their national language by the young ethnic-Kyrgyz. It is expected that these results may help to create realistic and effective language policies to ensure the future of the Kyrgyz language in Bishkek and consequently in all the country in a balanced way. Key Words: Kyrgyz, language revival, Russian, bilingualism, Soviet Union, Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek. Introduction 1.1.The Kyrgyz Republic and the City of Bishkek The Kyrgyz Republic, also called Kyrgyzstan, is an ex-Soviet landlocked country situated in Central Asia. Three of its four neighbours, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are also ex-Soviet republics while the fourth one is the People’s Republic of China. Before its independence, the territory which is currently known as Kyrgyzstan had been a part of the Russian Empire and of the International Journal of Russian Studies, No.

    LANGUAGES Hans Christian Luschützky Department of Linguistics, University of Vienna [email protected] http://homepage.univie.ac.at/hans.christian.luschuetzky/ Training Course on Toponymy Run-up to the 23rd Conference of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names Vienna, March 2006 Speaking about language As an object of investigation, language is special in that we are forced to use it in order to make statements about it. Everything we say (or write) about words, phrases and sentences we can only say (or write) by means of words, phrases and sentences. The consequences of this metalinguistic dilemma are intricate and manifold and cannot be discussed here. It should be kept in mind, however, that speaking about language is a self- referential act, like shaking one’s own hand. The scope of language Language, as the most complex of all forms of human communicative behaviour, can be approached and investigated from basically two points of view: system and structure (internal aspect) function and domain (external aspect) Both approaches can be refined with respect to the historical (diachronic), geographical (areal) and social dimensions. The following brief survey will focus on intersections of internal and external aspects of language: variation, glottogenesis, glottodynamics, linguistic stratification and language profiling. Language system and linguistic structure Structural analysis of language systems is based on procedures of segmentation and classification (taxonomy). All human languages are similar with respect to the hierarchical organisation of structural levels: • textual • syntactic • lexical/morphological • phonological (notice that writing and orthography, although closely related to language, do not form a structural level of the language system but constitute a separate semiotic system) All human languages differ with respect to the formal implementation of the subsystems that are constituted according to the structural levels.
