MAIN FACTORS AND PROBLEMS OF POPULATION PLACEMENT IN UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

The article analyzes the issues of population distribution and its territorial organization in Uzbekistan. The organization of population distribution in the country is based on various geographical factors. In particular, in the Jizzakh region, the natural geographical factor has a great influence on this process, since the territory of the region includes a region of mountain and foothill plains, where the population has long been living, and developed steppe areas. This circumstance has become of great importance in the organization of population distribution. The lifestyle and potential of the population of cities and villages formed over many years in developed steppe areas differ from other regions. At the beginning of the 21st century, the influence of the economic factor on the territorial distribution of the population of the Jizzakh region has changed, and a number of problematic situations have become noticeable, including the process of strong migration and a decrease in natural growth. Therefore, it is time to form new relations to the distribution and territorial organization of the population in the region.
