SUSTAINABILITY SHIFT IN TRANSPORTATION IN KHOREZM REGION
Keywords:
Sustainable transportation, Khorezm region, Uzbekistan, regional development, green mobilityAbstract
The increasing need for sustainable transportation systems is evident globally, particularly in regions like Khorezm, Uzbekistan, where traditional transportation practices heavily rely on fossil fuels and outdated infrastructure. This paper examines the future of sustainable transportation in the Khorezm region by evaluating current systems, environmental impacts, and population growth trends, and proposes pathways for transitioning to greener and more sustainable modes of transport. A mixed-methods approach involving both quantitative and qualitative analyses was used to gather data on transportation patterns, environmental concerns, and potential adoption rates for electric vehicles and other sustainable transportation technologies. Findings reveal that while Khorezm faces challenges in infrastructure and public policy, it has significant potential to adopt sustainable transportation solutions. Investment in green mobility infrastructure, including electric vehicles (EVs) and public transportation, is identified as crucial for reducing the region’s carbon footprint. The study proposes specific policy measures and strategic actions to promote sustainable transportation in Khorezm.
