摘要

本研究深入探讨了医学地理学的细微领域,重点关注乌兹别克斯坦撒马尔罕和纳沃伊地区地理因素与公共卫生成果之间错综复杂的相互作用。几十年来,医学地理学领域不断发展,从整体角度出发,综合生态、社会经济和可及性等因素,阐明了疾病分布和医疗服务提供的复杂动态。本研究采用综合方法,结合地理信息系统工具、统计分析和专家意见,在研究区域内划分医疗地理区域。通过综合行政记录、环境评估和人口调查等不同来源的数据,本研究构建了该地区健康状况的详细图景。分析揭示了五个主要医疗地理区域和一个次级区域,每个区域都具有不同的自然特征、经济活动和健康挑战。从撒马尔罕和纳沃伊的繁华市中心到乌兹古杜克-通迪北部的偏远沙漠地带,每个区域都为医疗服务和环境管理带来了独特的机遇和障碍。主要研究结果突出表明,医疗资源的分布不成比例,与偏远的农村地区相比,研究区南部人口稠密的地区更容易获得医疗设施。此外,空气污染、水污染和气候多变性等环境因素成为公众健康的重要决定因素,加剧了呼吸系统疾病、心血管疾病和其他健康状况。这项研究强调了空间分析和跨学科合作在解决不同地理景观中复杂的健康问题方面的重要性。通过绘制医疗地理区域图并了解其具体的健康问题,政策制定者和医疗保健专业人员可以制定有针对性的干预措施,以改善医疗保健的可及性、减轻环境危害并促进社区福祉。总之,这项研究为医学地理学领域提供了宝贵的见解,揭示了乌兹别克斯坦撒马尔罕和纳沃伊地区地理、环境和健康之间多方面的相互作用。展望未来,我们需要进一步开展研究和合作,以解决健康差异的根本决定因素,促进该地区的可持续发展。

Medical geographical zoning in part of Uzbekistan – A regional synthesis
This study delves into the nuanced realm of medical geography, focusing on the intricate interplay between geographical factors and public health outcomes in the Samarkand and Navoi regions of Uzbekistan. Over the decades, the field of medical geography has evolved, embracing a holistic perspective that integrates ecological, socioeconomic, and accessibility elements to elucidate the complex dynamics of disease distribution and healthcare provision. Utilizing a comprehensive methodology, this research employs a combination of GIS tools, statistical analysis, and expert input to delineate medical geographical zones within the study area. By synthesizing data from diverse sources including administrative records, environmental assessments, and demographic surveys, the study constructs a detailed picture of the region's health landscape. The analysis revealed five primary medical geographical zones and a sub-zone, each characterized by distinct natural features, economic activities, and health challenges. From the bustling urban centers of Samarkand and Navoi to the remote desert expanses of Uzguduk - Tomdi North, each zone presents unique opportunities and obstacles for healthcare delivery and environmental management. Key findings highlight the disproportionate distribution of healthcare resources, with densely populated areas in the southern part of the study area benefitting from greater accessibility to medical facilities compared to remote rural regions. Moreover, environmental factors such as air pollution, water contamination, and climatic variability emerge as significant determinants of public health, exacerbating respiratory ailments, cardiovascular diseases, and other health conditions. The study underscores the importance of spatial analysis and interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing complex health issues within diverse geographical landscapes. By mapping medical geographical zones and understanding their specific health concerns, policymakers and healthcare professionals can develop targeted interventions to improve healthcare access, mitigate environmental hazards, and promote community well-being. In conclusion, this research contributes valuable insights to the field of medical geography, shedding light on the multifaceted interactions between geography, environment, and health in the Samarkand and Navoi regions of Uzbekistan. Moving forward, further research and collaborative efforts are needed to address the underlying determinants of health disparities and foster sustainable development in the region.
