    The Social Classes Who Served in the Great Silk Road Service System

    International Journal of Social Science And Human Research ISSN(print): 2644-0679, ISSN(online): 2644-0695 Volume 03 Issue 06 June 2020 Page: 64-66 The Social Classes Who Served in the Great Silk Road Service System Anvar Achilov Tuychievich Abstract: In this article some features of the service system of the Great Silk Road are discussed based on historical sources and literature. Keywords: Great Silk Road, caravan routes, service system, convoy carrier, messenger, medicine, hire, postal service, ambassadors, shopping cities, spies. Introduction It is known from history that the system of service on all types of roads (domestic, foreign, international, transit) has played an important role. The Great Silk Road and its branches are no exception. In addition, the development of the service system on various roads includes many issues such as the composition of trade caravans, the condition (replacement) of camels and horses, guides, sarbons, the supply of food (fodder), water to traders, ambassadors or tourists and animals. The activity of the service system on caravan routes, more precisely its scope, also depended on the composition of the caravan. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to briefly dwell on the issue of caravan composition. The composition of the caravan was usually determined by the proximity of the city or country, the natural geographical conditions of the area where the trade caravan passes, the condition and level of safety of roads, the availability and accessibility of road infrastructure, the convenience of the season and other similar factors. The Main Results and Findings In the Middle Ages, traders worked in large caravans along the Great Silk Road.

    Sándor Szatmári (University of Pécs) Heritage cOrridOrs: sustainable tOurism develOpment alOngside tHe silk rOad abstract Heritage cOrridOrs: sustainable tOurism develOpment alOngside tHe silk rOad Over the centuries several routes have been created alongside geographical corridors. People travelled and traded along these routes, later cities and cultures have emerged on the nodes of them. This phenomenon can be observed on any continent. The Silk Road is a glaring example of this. The system of the Silk Road heads through deserts, seashores, river valleys and mountain passes. It cuts across the Eurasian Continent. The countries along the historical Silk Road look for the opportunities of collaboration and cooperation. We can say, that this cooperation means a natural way of cooperation for these countries from the point of their geographical location and geological connections. A possible way of cooperation is the common tourism development. For this area, the natural geographical and built environment, the connections of these environmental factors have a large importance. The connecting of these circumstances can make a sus- tainable tourism development model. Any countries on the Silk Road have the opportu- nity to invest and connect to this cooperation. It means a sure and long run investment. Keywords: Silk Road, tourism development, sustainability, heritage corridor 1.—Introduction In the following, I would like to introduce the efforts to create a tourist co-operation along the ancient Silk Road. It is important to note that the main player in this international cooperation is China, who has recognized 14—— ——————————————————————————————— — sándOr szatmári the need to strengthen cooperation between East and West for economic growth.
