GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS AND RENAMING OF MAHALLAS IN JIZZAKH REGION: CURRENT CHANGES
Abstract
The transformation path of mahallas and citizens' assemblies of Jizzakh region during the independence period has been studied from a historical-analytical perspective. The research covers the history of the formation of citizens' assemblies in the region, their demographic composition, boundary changes, and renaming processes. In particular, the 1992 process of replacing Soviet-era ideological names with names reflecting national values is analysed in detail. Furthermore, socio-economic changes carried out under the "Obod Qishloq" and "Obod Mahalla" state programmes, as well as the development dynamics of mahallas in Arnasoy, G'allaorol, Yangiobod districts and Jizzakh city, are examined. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of the role and significance of the mahalla institution in Uzbekistan's social governance system.
