TRANSPORT FACILITIES 2 EcoSocio Analysts Investor Liability Concerns WORKPLACE, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC ASSESSMENTS It is hard to prove in the court that contamination or hazardous waste burial is responsibility of the early owner or neighbor. The new owner has to cleanup and pay a fine that equals to the cleanup cost that is either calculated by the environmental authorities using a simplified indirect method or derived from a cleanup plan produced by a certified consultant and approved by the authorities. These authorities can also stop part of the whole operation until the identified contamination is eliminated. Environmental non-compliance can be used by the government as a tool to enforce its objectives. What to Do to Minimise Risk? To make a decision on a loan or listing the company on e.g .the London AIM, the international lending institutions require a reputable environmental Liability for old contamination during company to conduct the following work: Renaissance Hotel construction in Aktau Environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) is conducted for the EBRD Category A projects. In Kazakhstan the assessment includes a Declaration of Intent, a Preliminary EIA at feasibility study stage, and an EIA for detailed design. These data provide solutions for the prevention of adverse impacts on the environment and people. Environmental and social impact assessment (cont.) At the ESIA stage the gaps in the previous studies are identified and a plan is developed to fill them. Health, safety, social and environmental due diligence and assessment is conducted for the EBRD Category B projects and involve Reconstruction of a polyaramid plant in Kostanay faced social comittments audit of the loan affected part of the existing operation and the planned activity impact evaluation. At this stage the local EIA is also analysed for gaps but the gaps are filled only for significant aspects of impact. Environmental Management System is developed in Kazakhstan at the EIA stage in the form of an operational ecological control plan to obtain the Emission Permit that allows to start construction. To ensure international financing, an Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP). Once the construction begins, monitoring takes place to validate predicted by the ESIA impacts significance and effectiveness of suggested by the ESAP measures. The Category A projects ESAP implementation is to be checked once or twice a year by an independent bank approved consultant. Stakeholder Engagement is an obligatory process that should start at an Opornaya gas compressor station early stage and continues in a systematic manner for the duration of the shop demolition staff health hazard project or the loan. In contrast with the Kazakhstan requirements, when only from asbestos containing waste the stakeholders that are directly negatively affected by the development must be informed, the EBRD and IFC standards include persons or groups that are also indirectly affected (positively or negatively) by the project and generated by it activities or have interests in the project or the developer or have the potential to influence project outcomes or the developer operations or contribute to the work due to their expert knowledge of and/or experience in the region. These standards also require engagement rather than just informing the identified stakeholders and paying specific attention to the

    Ecosystem service assessment of the Ili Delta, Kazakhstan Niels Thevs, Volker Beckmann, Sabir Nurtazin, Ruslan Salmuzauli, Azim Baibaysov, Altyn Akimalieva, Elisabeth A. A. Baranoeski, Thea L. Schäpe, Helena Röttgers, Nikita Tychkov 1. Territorial and geographical location Ili Delta, Kazakhstan Almatinskaya Oblast (province), Bakanas Rayon (county) The Ili Delta is part of the Ramsar Site Ile River Delta and South Lake Balkhash Ramsar Site 2. Natural and geographic data Basic geographical data: location between 45° N and 46° N as well as 74° E and 75.5° E. Fig. 1: Map of the Ili-Balkhash Basin (Imentai et al., 2015). Natural areas: The Ramsar Site Ile River Delta and South Lake Balkhash Ramsar Site comprises wetlands and meadow vegetation (the modern delta), ancient river terraces that now harbour Saxaul and Tamarx shrub vegetation, and the southern coast line of the western part of Lake Balkhash. Most ecosystem services can be attributed to the wetlands and meadow vegetation. Therefore, this study focusses on the modern delta with its wetlands and meadows. During this study, a land cover map was created through classification of Rapid Eye Satellite images from the year 2014. The land cover classes relevant for this study were: water bodies in the delta, dense reed (total vegetation more than 70%), and open reed and shrub vegetation (vegetation cover of reed 20- 70% and vegetation cover of shrubs and trees more than 70%). The land cover class dense reed was further split into submerged dense reed and non-submerged dense reed by applying a threshold to the short wave infrared channel of a Landsat satellite image from 4 April 2015.

  • This Is a Highly Dangerous Precedent"
    FORUM 18 NEWS SERVICE, Oslo, Norway http://www.forum18.org/ The right to believe, to worship and witness The right to change one's belief or religion The right to join together and express one's belief This article was published by F18News on: 3 February 2009 KAZAKHSTAN: "This is a highly dangerous precedent" By Mushfig Bayram, Forum 18 News Service <http://www.forum18.org> Kazakhstan has resumed jailing Baptists, Forum 18 News Service has learnt. Yuri Rudenko from Almaty Region was the third unregistered Baptist pastor to be jailed for three days for refusing to pay fines for unregistered worship. Baptists point out that this breaks Kazakhstan's Constitution, but officials have refused to discuss this with Forum 18. The jailing took place as Elizaveta Drenicheva, a Russian working as a missionary for the Unification Church (commonly known as the Moonies), was jailed for two years for sharing her beliefs. Other religious believers who strongly disagree with her beliefs, as well as human rights defenders, are alarmed by the jail sentence. "This is a highly dangerous precedent," one Protestant who preferred not to be identified told Forum 18. "It seems to me that any believer who preaches about sin and how to be saved from it could be convicted in the same way." Baptist churches in Akmola region have also been raided and their members questioned, and another Baptist pastor is facing the threat of jail tomorrow (4 February). Kazakhstan has punished a third unregistered Baptist pastor in Almaty Region with three-day imprisonment, Forum 18 News Service has learnt.

The IBB is exemplary for the combined challenge of climate change and shifts in water supply and demand in transboundary Central Asian closed basins. To quantify future vulnerability of the IBB to these changes, we employ a scenario-neutral bottom-up approach with a coupled hydrological-water resource modelling set-up on the RiverWare modelling platform. This study focuses on reliability of environmental flows under historical hydro-climatic variability, future hydro-climatic change and upstream water demand development. The results suggest that the IBB is historically vulnerable to environmental shortages, and any increase in water consumption will increase frequency and intensity of shortages. Increases in precipitation and temperature improve reliability of flows downstream, along with water demand Citation: de Boer, T.; Paltan, H.; reductions upstream and downstream.

  • Local Government and Economic Development in Kazakhstan By
    Local Government and Economic Development in Kazakhstan by Madina Junussova A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Policy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2017 Madina Junussova ABSTRACT The main objective of this dissertation is to understand the role of local government in economic development, with a focus on the cities and regions selected by the national government of Kazakhstan to be the drivers of national economic development by the Regional Development Program 2020. The dissertation presents three studies based on qualitative assessment of locally obtained evidence and locally produced data. The first essay examines administrative decentralization and studies how the Almaty city and Almaty region governments failed to use delegated urban planning for the management of urban development. The second essay challenges the fiscal system by exploring how the Almaty and Astana governments struggled to use national transfers provided for the implementation of national projects. The third essay focuses on political decentralization reforms and assesses the capabilities of elected representatives from Almaty, Astana, Shymkent and Aktobe city governments in managing urban transport based on public needs. Together, these three case studies provide a broader picture for understanding the productivity of the implemented administrative, fiscal and political reforms. It argues that the absence of a functioning decentralization strategy is leading to unexpected development outcomes and a lowering of public trust in local and national governments. The main contribution of the three studies is that they allow identification of key institutional weaknesses and obstacles faced by local governments in the management of local development in Kazakhstan.

  • Sovyetler Birliği'nin Kazakistan Politikasi (1927
    SOVYETLER BİRLİĞİ’NİN KAZAKİSTAN POLİTİKASI (1927-1938) Pamukkale Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Doktora Tezi Tarih Anabilim Dalı Doktora Programı Ainur ARKHYMATAYEVA Danışman: Prof. Dr. Ercan HAYTOĞLU HAZİRAN 2021 DENİZLİ ii DOKTORA TEZİ ONAY FORMU iii BİLİMSEL ETİK SAYFASI Bu tezin tasarımı, hazırlanması, yürütülmesi, araştırmalarının yapılması ve bulguların analizlerinde bilimsel etiğe ve akademik kurallara özenle riayet edildiğini; bu çalışmanın doğrudan birincil ürünü olmayan bulguların, verilerin ve materyallerin bilimsel etiğe uygun olarak kaynak gösterildiğini ve alıntı yapılan çalışmalara atıfta bulunduğunu beyan ederim. Ainur ARKHYMATAYEVA iv ÖNSÖZ Sovyetler Birliği 22,4 milyon kilometre karelik topraklarıyla çok büyük bir ülkeydi. SSCB bakiyesi olduğu Çarlık Rus İmparatorluğu gibi Orta Asya bölgesini kendi topraklarının bir uzantısı olarak görüyordu. Bir ucundan öbür ucuna 10.500 km mesafe bulunan bu büyük ülkenin toprakları dünyanın en büyük hammadde kaynaklarına sahipti. Bu nedenle eski Sovyet sistemi dış ticarete kısmen bağımlılık gösteren kendi geniş iç pazarıyla kapalı bir sistemdi. Orta Asya ise, Türkler için tarihin başlangıcından beri yüksek önemi haiz bir coğrafya idi. Tezin temelini sosyalist inşa yıllarında SSCB politikalarının Kazakistan siyasi, sosyo-ekonomik, eğitim ve kültürel alanı üzerindeki etkileri oluşturmaktadır. Tez ayrıca SSCB'nin Kazakistan politikasını 1927-1938 yılları içinde ele almaktadır. Tez; Giriş, üç bölüm, sonuç ve eklerden oluşmuştur. Bölümler, kronolojik tarihe paralel olarak kademeli bir şekilde sunulmuştur. Çarlık Rus İmparatorluğu’nun Kazak Hanlığı döneminden, SSCB’nin Stalin dönemine kadar önemli gelişmeleri bölümlerin ara başlıklarında ele alınmıştır. Tezde yerleşim yerlerinin adları, kişi adları ile soyadları orijinal haliyle verilmiştir. O dönemde uygulanmaya çalışılan Sovyet politikası doğrultusunda kullanılan, “kolhoz, sovhoz, gigant” gibi kelimeler değiştirilmeden aynen verilmiştir. Omby, Ertys, Esil, Orynbor v.s.
