“…The object of our study was Kazakhstan, where historically there has been a variety of industrial activities with an environmental impact (Makhmetova et al, 2023). Heavy metal contamination in Kazakhstan, being the ninth largest country in the world in terms of territory (Aytzhanova, 2019), is caused primarily by a combination of natural factors and technogenic activities (Bekezhanov et al, 2021). There are many hazardous areas (occupying more than 60 thousand ha) in Kazakhstan's industrial zones that contaminate the soil.…”

Accumulation of heavy metals in soil can lead to the deterioration of soil quality, reduce soil fertility and crop yields, and thus threaten human and animal health. The study aimed to assess the potential ecological risk of heavy metal contamination of agricultural soils in Kazakhstan. The study was carried out in 2021 on the soils of the Zhdanovskoye owner-operated farm in the Sokolovsko-Sarybai district of the Kostanay region. The quantitative content of heavy metals, such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Cd), was determined, and concentrations of trace elements, such as zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn), were calculated for the considered contaminated lands. The potential ecological risk index (RI) proposed by L. Hakanson was used in the study concerning heavy metal contamination of soil. As a result, the presence of trace elements and heavy metals in the considered areas of the Kostanay region was shown. The RI values for all sites ranged from 137 to 447, corresponding to the level of ecological risk grading from low to high. The average RI for As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Zn, Ni, and Cu amounted to 328, which indicates a high ecological risk. Detected levels of As, Cd, Zn, and Pb in long-term abandoned mining areas were well above national thresholds, indicating the impending need to fully investigate and assess the suitability of the land for further agricultural use. The availability of such data will allow predicting cluster-based development of processing infrastructures in the vicinity of agricultural lands.

“…The greatest concerns are caused by heavy metal contamination of soil (Bekezhanov et al, 2021;Li et al, 2020), which explains the focus of our study. Technogenic soil contamination is caused by various heavy metals, especially copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), and lead (Pb) (Hinojosa et al, 2004).…”

“…Plenty of issues related to the collaboration between the state and business remain a subject of debate (Kulanov et al, 2020). However, international experience has shown that such cooperation can be highly effective in achieving socio-economic goals (Bekezhanov et al, 2021;Sergeeva et al, 2023). In Kazakhstan, the emphasis is placed on establishing the institutional basis for the relations between the state and business, which involves creating effective forms of interaction that enable the achievement of strategic goals.…”

The focus of the article is the evaluation of the interaction between regional state bodies and business structures in Kazakhstan, specifically in terms of the development of public-private partnerships. The purpose of the research is to enhance the understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of the mechanism of interaction between the state and business structures. Through an examination of the various structural components of the partnership development strategy, the study aims to identify the elements of the mechanism for the implementation of the state and business development strategy. Additionally, the research seeks to establish the correlation between the outcomes of the joint entrepreneurship mechanism and the criteria used to evaluate the performance of regional state bodies. To assess the effectiveness of the interaction between business and government at the regional level in Kazakhstan, a survey-based evaluation was conducted to measure the satisfaction levels of public utilities, entrepreneurs, and businesses with the activities of local authorities. The survey also evaluated the degree of corruption among local authorities. A matrix of interaction between business and government was created, and various models and algorithms for the interaction between government representatives and business structures were studied. The research findings highlight the importance of enhancing the collaboration between the state and the business sector, promoting the implementation of public-private partnerships, and establishing social partnerships to cultivate mutually beneficial relationships.

“…The law of sustainable development is complex and interdisciplinary. It cannot be reduced to international, environmental, social, and economic law since it is based on the principles of many legal branches and requires a comprehensive analysis (Bekezhanov et al, 2021). The definition of sustainable development as a new branch of law is relevant and innovative as the traditional approach to the ideas of sustainable development and respect for the environment is transformed into a completely new concept (Zhatkanbayeva et al, 2017).…”

Objective: At present, sustainable development has acquired the status of an influential legal principle and has become a key marker in the field of legislation that regulates development in all spheres of life. The authors proceed from the fact that the concept of sustainable development will inevitably be transformed. The study aims to determine the opportunity to transform the concept of sustainable development into a new global branch of law with its subject, methods, principles, and functions. Methods: Qualitative research methods, including a desk review and comparative analysis of scholarly works related to sustainable development, were employed. A selection criteria-based approach was used to identify relevant publications, resulting in the analysis of 72 pertinent papers. Results: The study results include the main concepts of legal understanding that can be applied to the law of sustainable development, as well as the typical features of social-legal relations included in the subject of sustainable development law. The law of sustainable development is an emerging global branch of law that regulates social relations in the field of sustainable development using traditional and alternative methods. Conclusion: The study proves that it is expedient to apply the systematic method and the method of public obligations in the law of sustainable development. Opportunities exist for transforming the concept of sustainable development into a distinct global branch of law, facilitating enhanced environmental protection, poverty alleviation, improved quality of life, and national security.
