“…For instance, these included studies done by Zhurtbay [93] and Tursynbayeva et al [94] on the inter-related aspects of how the media and national policy form environmental awareness elements among different groups of the population in the country. Another group of scholars approached it from the context of ecological education and how the process of pedagogical teaching affected the level of awareness among different groups young people [95][96][97][98][99][100], while other researchers looked at the degree of awareness levels for various environmental problems ranging from the role of NGOs and civic society organizations [101][102][103][104][105], and from the point of view of access to environmental information to the public community [106]. However, most recent studies included multiple environmental awareness aspects that focused on ecological issues such as waste management problem and air pollution, such scholars include those by Karimova et al [107], Karaca et al [108], and Sarbassov et al [109].…”

Environmental awareness issues in Kazakhstan are one of the most undermined topics both among the public community and in terms of state rhetoric. In the context of official state documents, so far only two official environmental codes and national program called Zhasyl Kazakhstan were introduced in the country in 2021. While on the one hand the Environmental Code was introduced with the purpose to modernize, frame and enlist main legislative aspects on various sectors of environmental law in Kazakhstan, on the other hand the Zhasyl Kazakhstan Program has been implemented as a state program to address with numerous environmental projects various environmental issues ranging from air pollution to waste management as well as aspects related to ecological education and low environmental awareness matters. In this regard, the main goal of this paper is to analyze critically the main content of both of these documents with a particular focus on sections related to environmental awareness raising aspects. For that, this paper applied a subjective-based content analysis in order to identify interesting insights on regulatory legal aspects, future research streams, and uncovering of improved legislative frameworks in the context of environmental awareness issue. Apart from that, five open-ended questions were send out to the Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources to obtain primary data on the state's view in regards to current previous, recent and future aspects of environmental awareness issue in the country.

“…Institutionalisation is mostly about 'process' 21 and is not usually the subject of a definition certainly not as a matter of EU law. 22 It usually involves probing incomplete situations or involves predictions as to what will prevail.…”

“…In fact, the countryside is often decried for its lack of civic engagement and for the absence of group associations (ADB 2005, 2;Nezhina and Ibrayeva 2013, 343). What constitutes civil society is assumed to be principally an urban phenomenon, the domain of NGOs and the Third Sector (almost half the total number of NGOs are based in Almaty), the preserve of liberal democratic ideals, and fashioned according to the dictates of Western social scientists (Saktaganova andOpsnova 2012, 1281;Soltys 2014). The training on offer, too, on how to build civil society is largely based on Western standards that are not always "relevant to local tradition and culture" (Amagoh and Kabdiyeva 2012, 38).…”

From nomadic communitarianism to civil socialism: Searching for the roots of civil society in rural Kazakhstan

This article explores the environmental, historical and cultural factors that influence civic engagement among rural communities in contemporary Kazakhstan. It traces how forms of nomadic communitarianism as a response to the vicissitudes of life on the open Steppe merged with the imposed collectivism of Soviet society in such a manner that the two were able to coexist together in both policy and practice. Drawing on fieldwork among a number of villages in South Kazakhstan, we argue that, together, the nomadic and Soviet pasts still constitute the core values at work in rural communities, influencing the structure of local power relations and the nature of group association and cooperative venture. Rather than disappearing, these values, if anything, are re-emerging as part of an attempt to legitimise Kazakh culture as the core identity of the modern nation state.
