“…Transport accessibility is assumed to be the main driver of urbanization [74][75][76] and city extensions intothe PUA. Accessibility is usually assessed in terms of connecting the AOI to transportation infrastructure (roads, railways, and airways), which facilitate communication with the main metropolitan area.…”

A Spatiotemporal Assessment of Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Peri-Urban Areas: A Case Study of Arshaly District, Kazakhstan

et al. 2020

In this study, the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) were evaluated in the peri-urban area of the Arshaly district, which borders the capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Landsat multispectral images were used to study the changes in LULC. The analysis of LULC dynamics was carried out using supervised classification with a multi-temporal interval (1998, 2008, and 2018). During the study period, noticeable changes occurred in LULC. There was an increase in the area of arable land and forests and a reduction in the pastures. There was a sharp increase in the built-up area; that is, there was an intensification of land use through an increase in the share of arable land as well as the transformation of agricultural land for development. However, in general, the influence of urban sprawl in this peri-urban area has so far been accompanied by only a slight focus on its sustainable development.

“…It was carried out in terms of the entire road network and its division into national and regional roads. According to the literature (Page, 2004;Bazarbekova et al, 2018;Dinu, 2018), the transport network, the wider communication accessibility is crucial for the implementation of various forms of tourism. When researching the North Kazakhstan region, it should be borne in mind that both the size of the country and the region and the degree of development of the transport network should be analyzed in relation to the geographical conditions of Central Asia and the country's population density (18 million).…”

“…Tourism, and especially sustainable tourism (Aimagambetov et al, 2018) and agritourism (Tleubayeva, 2018), balneotourism (Wendt, 2016), slow tourism (cittaslow) (Lewandowska et al, 2019) and a new techlogies as VR in tourism and economy (Ziyadin et al, 2014;Watkins et al, 2018;Korinth et al, 2019;Ziyadin et al, 2019a;2019b;Bógdał-Brzezińska, 2020) play an important role as a perspective direction of development of its economy. However, its development still faces a number of barriers (Aliaskarov et al, 2017), among which transport, which is of key importance for the development of tourism (Bazarbekova et al, 2018), unfortunately holds a high position. The marketing of tourist services and their promotion are similarly poorl y developed in Kazakhstan, also playing an important role in the development of this sector of the economy.…”

The conducted research is aimed at assessing the current state of the tourist and recreational potential of the lake system in the region of North Kazakhstan (Kazakhstan). The research included the relationship between the distribution and natural diversity of reservoirs and landscapes and the density of the transport network of the studied region in the administrative division of the region. The aim of the research undertaken is to indicate the spatial differentiation of the conditions for the development of tourism in relation to the degree of lake density and transport accessibility. The quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the lakes in terms of spatial diversity and transport accessibility in the region were presented. The analysis of the natural and recreational potential, with the use of statistical methods, satellite images, comparative analysis and field studies, made it possible to identify lake ecosystems that are already used or recommended for use as objects in tourism, as well as in the national economy. The analysis of the road network allows to conclude that its density, despite the higher indicators than the national average, does not fully allow the use of the region's tourist potential and may constitute a barrier to its development.

“…Rail transport is the most important mode of transport in Kazakhstan (TSRK 2015) rail transport is dominant and about 70% of the cargoes are currently transported by railways. The share of road transport is gradually increasing and currently, about 20% cargo is transported by road transport (Bazarbekova et al 2018;UNECE 2018).…”

The purpose of this research paper is to explore the potential of the railway network of the Republic of Kazakhstan as an effective and competitive transit transport route between China and Europe, as well as ensuring the accrued economic benefit to the Kazakh economy from the transit flows potentially generated. Kazakh territory was a major part of the old Silk Road, especially the southern regions of the current Republic. This was disrupted during the Soviet period, with borders closed and any transit forbidden. From her independence, Kazakhstan has intended to be an open and transparent state in terms of world trade and business. This desire has led the country to make use of her transit potential between China and Europe. To explore this, the research work applied multiple research methods: Multiple Regression analysis, Correlation analysis, PEST and SWOT analysis. The findings of the research allow us to suggest that Republic of Kazakhstan is on the way to reaping the economic benefits of being a transit state. To achieve the full potential of transit services, the research recommends a number of actions including strengthening the scientific support for the industry; formation of intersectoral coordination with focus on marketing of transport services and logistics; construction and organization of an international transit corridor "Western Europe-Western China"; formation of a flexible tariff policy; the elimination of physical barriers to the organization and operations of domestic transit traffic; and the streamlining of customs procedures; all to facilitate smooth border crossings.
