This, of course, reflects the way 20,000. In 2000, the Namangan people live [2]. agglomeration was the fourth most populous in the country after the Tashkent, Samarkand, In the geo-urbanism of the Republic of Fergana-Margilan agglomerations [1]. In Uzbekistan, the cities of Namangan region subsequent studies, it is ranked as a 2nd [4]. and their territorial system are distinguished by their peculiarities [3] and are the highest Namangan region has the largest number of 63% urbanized region in the country. urban settlements.

The Namangan, which was created to least organized districts include only establish new small industrial enterprises. Yangikurgan district, which is on the scale Improving the quality of working of agglomeration. The situation in the conditions for their participants in the district is mainly due to the fact that the organization of small industrial zones and district specializes in vegetable growing promoting the sale of products, activation and horticulture, it can be said that due to of investment attraction, it is planned to the fact that new enterprises in the region increase the income of the population are established in the light industry (light through the introduction of modern industry is underdeveloped in Yangikurgan productions for the production of district). It can be seen that the impact of imported products on the basis of unused, the core of the Namangan agglomeration inactive production areas and the creation on Yangikurgan district is mainly in the of jobs on this basis. form of daily pendulum migration. CONCLUSION RESULT AND DISCUSSION However, the presence of such a gap In 2019, the number of enterprises with (zones) in the agglomeration core region foreign investment increased by the may limit the potential of other sites. This number 42,0 or 34,0 percent. In this case, is due to the fact that small industrial the largest number of enterprises was zones will have certain benefits in established, mainly in Namangan, attracting investment and setting up new Kasansay, Turakurgan, Chartak districts manufacturing enterprises.

  • Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945
    Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 By Charles David Shaw A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor Professor Victoria E. Bonnell Summer 2015 Abstract Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 by Charles David Shaw Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair This dissertation addresses the impact of World War II on Uzbek society and contends that the war era should be seen as seen as equally transformative to the tumultuous 1920s and 1930s for Soviet Central Asia. It argues that via the processes of military service, labor mobilization, and the evacuation of Soviet elites and common citizens that Uzbeks joined the broader “Soviet people” or sovetskii narod and overcame the prejudices of being “formerly backward” in Marxist ideology. The dissertation argues that the army was a flexible institution that both catered to national cultural (including Islamic ritual) and linguistic difference but also offered avenues for assimilation to become Ivan-Uzbeks, part of a Russian-speaking, pan-Soviet community of victors. Yet as the war wound down the reemergence of tradition and violence against women made clear the limits of this integration. The dissertation contends that the war shaped the contours of Central Asian society that endured through 1991 and created the basis for thinking of the “Soviet people” as a nation in the 1950s and 1960s.
