CARTOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE SPATIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DEMOGRAPHIC PROCESSES IN ANDIJAN REGION
Keywords:
demographic processes, cartographic analysis, GIS technologies, population density, migration, urbanization, territorial disparities, geographic analysisAbstract
This article examines the spatial characteristics of demographic processes in Andijan region based on cartographic analysis and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies. The study analyzes the territorial distribution of population, population density, natural growth processes, and migration flows, identifying their spatial variations.Using a cartographic approach, the uneven distribution of demographic indicators across districts and the specific features of urbanization processes were highlighted. The results show that population density is highest in Andijan city, Asaka, and Shahrixon districts, which is closely related to industrialization and socio-economic development. In contrast, relatively lower demographic growth rates were observed in some rural areas. The study demonstrates that GIS technologies are an effective tool for spatial analysis, mapping, and identifying territorial differences in demographic processes. The analysis of migration processes indicates that both internal and external labor migration significantly influence the demographic structure of the region.
