{"title":"DEVELOPMENT OF NUCLEAR ENERGY IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN: ISSUES AND TRENDS","authors":"B. Mussin, E.

In this work, both qualitative and quantitative research methods are applied. The study uses an online sociological survey among the population to analyze the impact of the ongoing state policy on the energy security of the country, namely the construction of nuclear power plants. In this work, an online survey based on a Google Survey was used. The survey involved 108 respondents. Also presented in the work are information materials of state institutions, information and news articles, as well as a review of international experience in the field of nuclear energy. Also, for the analysis and evaluation of external factors for developing nuclear energy, we considered PEST-analysis (Political, Economic, Social, and Technological factors).Originality / value of the research. Society plays an important role in solving the most urgent and acute political issues in the country. The awareness and opinion of citizens contributes to the development in society of a positive attitude towards the political decisions made in the state. Over the past two decades, in some countries, policies to reduce energy costs and targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions have contributed to the introduction of clean energy, including nuclear energy. In Kazakhstan, the issue of energy security has always been relevant and has never been removed from the agenda. Today, despite all the eff orts of the state, problems in the energy sector are not decreasing.Findings. This paper analyses the statements of many authors who believe that the degree of public awareness depends on the transparency and informational openness of state bodies. A sociological study was used in this work in order to empirically prove the influence of these factors. The survey contains the answers of the respondents. The analysis turned out to be quite interesting. As a result, the presence of a positive relationship between the level of information provided by state institutions and the awareness of citizens has been clearly demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":111477,"journal":{"name":"Central Asian Economic Review","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134565383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the course of the work, statistical and comparative economic analysis, methods of generalization and systematization were used.

With the help of the logical method, potential directions for the development of large cities of Kazakhstan were identified.Originality / value of the research. The study analyzed the socio-economic development of large cities, identified the strengths and weaknesses of their development, as well as identified threats and opportunities for the development of large cities of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Based on the analysis, the directions of development of large cities are proposed.Findings. During the analysis of the socio-economic development of large cities, it was revealed that in all large cities there is a certain factor determining its development. For example, in the cities of Aktau and Atyrau, a high income of the population is fixed, since the cities specialize in the extraction and processing of hydrocarbon raw materials, etc. The problems hindering the development of large cities include a high increase in the number of unemployed, a shortage of housing stock, the deterioration of utility networks, an increase in the number of citizens in need of social support, and a high level of atmospheric pollution.

Existing theories and research on competitive relationships focus on competition or cooperation, where one type of relationship can threaten or support.

This study used a combination of bibliometric methods, such as co-authorship between authors and countries, and co-occurrence of author keywords. In addition, the most influential countries, institutions, publications and authors were identified based on publications and citations. A total of 302 articles published between 2000 and 2022 were retrieved from the Scopus database.The originality / value of the study is to determine the relationship of published articles on the topic of strategic relations, such as competition and cooperation between enterprises in the field of tourism, to analyze the evolution of research works, to identify current topics, to predict future research directions. Information obtained from research can be used to improve the quality of future articles.The findings show that since 2000 the number of publications has increased, as well as the interest of scientists in this field. Published articles have been published in 55 countries. The top 10 countries with the most articles account for 89,73 % of all papers.

This study contributes to an empirical study of spatial concentration and firm-level productivity in developing countries and provides valuable insights for policymakers to consider before implementing government programs.Findings. The results suggest that productivity increases with clustering: a 10 % increase in the number of employees of the neighboring firms inside the same industry increases firm-level productivity by 1.36 %, while a 10 % increase in employment in other industries enhances firm performance by 1.95 %. The productivity gains are higher at the 2-digit regional level rather than at the 9-digit sub-regional level of geographical aggregation, implying that the denser geography increases firms’ performance.","PeriodicalId":111477,"journal":{"name":"Central Asian Economic Review","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124675155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
