Economic and social hegography, social and economic problems 
The development of mankind has been formed and developed over the centuries on the 
basis of various sciences and their achievements. In this regard, the science of geography also 
has a position in the system of Sciences, and it is natural that there will be many new research 
and research in its development. In particular, in subsequent years, the process of socialization of 
traditional economic geography in our independent republic and its transformation into a broad-
meaning social geography is taking place-that is, of course, a positive state. 
The economic and social geography of the present tense bulinadi to the four main parts to 
which uzaro is involved, namely economic geography, socio – economic, social and political 
geography (Soliev A., 1995). In this, the following directions are included in the structure of 
social geography (fig. 
Social geography informs the population in the nature of the territorial aspects and 
characteristics of many social phenomena and events, such as the way of life and conditions, 
religion, tradition, national values, rest, treatment. Hence, social geography studies the 
relationship of the population with the Social (Social) and natural environment. 
One of the most important concepts of social geography is the concept of social space. By 
social space, we mean, first of all, the everyday life of people in a certain territory, their 
interaction. It refers to the place of residence of the population of different professions, 
nationalities, ages and genders, its territorial totality (socium). 
Again, it should be noted that the structure of social geography cannot be directly 
included in the geography of the spheres of service of the population, since this direction is 
represented by professor A.S.In Soliev's words,”stands directly between social and socio-
economic geography, and it serves as the first important link in the direction of the socialization 
of economic geography." 
Nowadays, the science of social geography is among the rapidly developing Sciences. the 
role and importance of sial's research related to geography has become important in addressing 
the country's socio - economic development problems, and now its scope of research is 
increasingly expanding. Non-traditional spheres of this branch of science can include the 
geography of Medicine, the geography of crime, religion, tourism, recreation, the geography of 
Science and education, and they further enrich, modernize the content of social geography. It 
should be said that an important place in modern economic and social geography was occupied 
by the study of issues directly related to the population. Especially in the social geography, 
which is part of it, the study of laws related to society, the population and its social aspects is of 
great importance. 
In recent times, the object and subject of research of traditional economic and social 
geography has been significantly expanding. While many, industrial, agricultural, productive 
forces and the issues of their development were previously lying on the basis of scientific 
research as the main subject, to date, interest has increased in the study of the population and 
aspects directly related to it, especially in its study of social aspects, aspects related to health, 
rest, treatment, lifestyle, traditions, religion, behavior, and the volume of 
Since the middle of the 20th century in the world, the process of “socialization” in a 
number of economic disciplines has also had an impact on economic geography. This laid the 

---

foundation for the formation of later Achaean geography and, in connection with it, social 
geography. 
It should be noted that as early as the 30s of the XX century N.N.Baransky had cross-
posed the issue of creating”social geography", and then studied the main, its important issues 
(the geography of akholi, the geography of cities, etc.). As early as that period, N.N.Baransky 
said:” the economic - geographer should know not only the composition, location, description of 
the settlements of the population, but also his psyche, traditions and culture." 
Issues related to the working, rest, spiritual experiences, health and other social, cultural 
and spiritual life activities of the population have been studied abroad and also within the 
framework of the economic geography of the former Union. Therefore, Kham YU.G.Saushkin 
assures that the separation of social geography from economic geography is contrary to the 
development of economic and social geography, does not fully respond to the perception of real 
existence, that is, a person cannot be “torn” from economic geography by the complexities of his 
social life (Nazarov M., Tajie, And Z. Social geography, 2003). 
Currently, a narrow and broad-meaning interpretation of social geography is given by 
professor A.S.Recognized by Soliev. The scientist noted that social geography in a narrow sense 
is a science that directly studies the territorial aspects of issues of being with human life, its 
relationship with the fan with whom he lives. And broad-meaning social geography includes 
narrow-meaning social geography and also covers the territorial aspects of the issues of social 
life style, cultural, spiritual, spiritual development of a person. 
If we look at historical data, then the first steps in the development of social geography 
are visible abroad. In particular, it is known from sources that the concept of" social geography " 
was used at the end of the 19th century by Le-Ple, a representative, economist and sociologist of 
the French School of EQ. Another researcher is G.S.Dunbar argues that this concept is the first 
P.de used in Ruze's research on social geography, published in 1884 (Nazarov M., Tajie, And Z. 
Social geography, 2003). 
A well-known manifestation of the Le-Ple Scientific School E.Demolen, on the other 
hand, interprets social geography as “sociogeography” and explains its essence as the influence 
of local conditions (including natural conditions)on social development, the emergence of 
“social groups”. 
1895 year for the first time the concept of social geography E.Reklyu's work”general 
geography " was applied. In doing so, he understood social geography in the sense that natural 
conditions affect people in a territorial way of work and life, and he could not clearly reveal the 
essence of the concept of ham social geography. 
At the beginning of the 20th century, a "new science" appeared in the Netherlands, social 
geography, which arose from the fusion of geography and sociology. Its subject is understood as 
"the study of the regional distribution of groups and interrelationships in society." 
It is not for nothing that this science network appeared precisely in the Netherlands. 
Because in the Netherlands, where its practical tasks, economy is dense and land resources are 
scarce, it has become extremely relevant in solving regional planning issues. 
A worthy contribution to the emergence and development of social geography was made 
by the sobik, Union geographer scientist and researchers Ham. In the development of social 
geography during this period, three conditional stages can be distinguished: 
1. Time until the 50s of the XX century; 
2. 50 - 70s of the XX century; 
3. It covers the last 30-40 years, and the theoretical and practical aspects of social 
geography have developed significantly precisely during this period. In particular, significant 
work was carried out on the geography of the population service industries. 
The object and subject of social geographical research, its content - leprosy. Initial clear 
feedback on R.M.We meet in the affairs of Cape. In particular, in his opinion, “socio – cultural” 
geography represents a complex combination of all elements that embody the types of akholi's

location, the territorial differences of its lifestyle and socio-cultural characteristics, as well as 
each group of social - territorial people associated with labor activity. 
The structure and functions of social geography M.F.Green made a more extensive 
interpretation. He believes that social geography encompasses economic geography along with 
geographical sciences belonging to the social cycle. Such a broad-meaning interpretation of 
social geography V.M.Gohman and S.YA.Nymik corresponds to the "obtshestvennaya 
geography"he understood. 
The structural structure of social geography (Voronin V.V., Sharigin M.D. MUG-regional 
general geography; IG - economic geography; SG-social geography; SHG-political, military 
geography; AG-population geography; MG-cultural geography; hag-behavioral geography; xgg-
service geography; TG-medical geography; RG-recreational geography; TFG-education and 
science geography; IE-social ecology; KG-confessional geography; TRG-natural resources 
geography; TaG-historical geography; BUGF-other general geographical sciences. 
A realistic and justified approach to this issue from a practical point of view.A.Dolinin 
“cannot be deeply studied without involving what characterizes the regional characteristics of 
social phenomena and processes, the nature, economy and demographic situation of Regions, 
which means that such research can be successfully carried out by economic - geographers.” 
A.A.Dolinin believes that the object of social geography is the territorial combinations of people 
connected through their relationships. 
S.B. Lavrov, A.Aanokhin, N.T.Agafonov, on the other hand, describes social geography 
as a link in socio - economic geography, a science that studies the laws of the location and 
territorial organization of social structures in certain socio - historical conditions. 
Although, in our opinion, such areas of science as medicine, religion, geography of 
tourism are truly borderline directions that have arisen in the field of Sciences, we prefer to see 
them within the framework of the system of Geographical Sciences, or rather, the science of 
social geography . Because , taking into account the geography of medicine, since there are 
territorial differences in the occurrence and spread of diseases on Earth, the basis of this science 
is geographical factors. 
At this point, it should be noted that in this guide we paid attention to the tables on social 
geography in a narrow sense. 
It should be noted that the research carried out by scientists on social geography in the 
broad sense of M.Nazarov and Z.The tajievas divided into the following four groups: 
1. ”Social geography does not exist, but the presence of social traits in geography is 
undeniable " -supporters of the idea. Authors belonging to this direction advocate that social 
geography does not exist independently. They put in their sentence Alaev E.B., Kovalev S.A., 
Kovalskaya N.YA., Lappo G.M., Lavrav S.B., Sdasyuk G.V., Saushkin YU.G., Tkachenko A.A. 
it is possible to include such, a number of works created by these scientists emphasize that the 
social and economic aspects are not divided and attempts to be decisive are inconclusive. 
2. "Social geography is an independent science, located in the lowest pogona in the 
structure of Geographical Sciences. In many cases it can be seen as a component of the 
geography of axoli”, the authors of the idea. According to the views of this direction, social 
geography is independent and is part of the lower hierarchical Pocone of geography, the 
geography of the population. (Anokhin A.A. Kostyaev A.I. Dolinin A.A). Including A.A.Dolinin 
views social geography as a kind of vapor of axoli geography. In his opinion, social geography 
was embodied in determining the levels of social development of the territorial combinations of 
people. 
A.A.Anokhin - and A.I.And the kostyaev consider that social geography was formed as a 
science that studies the territorial organization of the social life of the regions of various 
taxonomic categories. Despite the fact that social geography is understood in a much broader 
sense than the scope of the geography of akholi, the above authors still derive from the 
foundations of the geography of akholi (Nazarov M., Tajie, And Z. Social geography, 2003).

3. Social geography is an independent science, located in the structure of Geographical 
Sciences in the middle hierarchical ladder, that is, in the same pogona as economic geography, 
for example. According to views belonging to the third direction, social geography is an 
independent science, and the last main branch of social geography (in a broad sense) is 
considered, standing to some extent with economic geography. such a point of view 
V.M.Gohman and S.YA.Nymphs were in favor, and they came to a homogeneous such 
conclusion. They also argue that according to the degree of development, social geography is 
lagging behind economic geography, since it is believed that social geography began to take 
shape much later. Some authors, such as S.Nimmick also points out the dependence of social 
geography on economic geography and also the indivisibility of social and cultural geography. 
4. Social geography is an independent science and is considered a synonym for social 
geography, being located in a high hierarchical ladder within the social geography Sciences; 
Social (Social) Geography includes economic geography. 
According to the idea of belonging to the fourth direction, social geography can be 
understood as a science that encompasses all social relationships. Here are the concepts of" 
social "and" social " (obshestvennaya). mutually compatible, and they are mutually synonymous. 
Hence, according to these social geography (social geography) covers economic geography, in 
addition to other social geographical networks (aholi Geography, Political Geography, military 
geography, historical geography, etc.). N.N.Baransky also understood social geography in such a 
broad sense, and such an understanding was given to local scientists (Soliev A., Otamirzaev O 
and others) xam specific. 
Currently, there was a need by most authors to understand the term "social geography" in 
a narrow and broad sense at the same time. U.According to mereste's concept of integration of 
Sciences, social geography (social in broad terms) is synonymous with social geography. Social 
geography is the study of social geographic systems that cover all social objects and the social 
and geographical relationships between them. 
Philosophically analyzed, if a person and his way of life, cocktail, knowledge and rest, 
restoration of Health, imagination, traditions or, in a word, a social event of broad meaning-as 
long as the personnel exist in space and time, then in turn the birth of the need to study the 
territorial laws of their emergence, formation and development is natural, and this issue, 
according, more precisely, it is advisable for social geography to deal with it (Nazarov M., Tajie, 
And Z. Social geography, 2003). 
The formation and development of social geography in Uzbekistan in the social or narrow 
sense is facilitated by local scientists, in particular A.S.Saliev, M.I.Nazarov, Z.Tajieva, N.The 
komilovas added their khissas. Including A.S.Soliev revealed the directions of development of 
traditional economic geography in a series of treatises and manuals published in the last decade 
of the last century, and at this point he made a special emphasis on the socialization 
(socialization)of this science. A.S.Soliev believes that broad-meaning social geography 
(economic and social geography) consists primarily of three blocks or components. To the first 
block he introduces economic geography, that is, the geography of production, the social—
economic geographical sciences associated with the axis of the second block, and, to the third 
block, social geography in a narrow sense, or rather social geography. Also A.S.Soliev noted that 
in some cases the concept of "Social" does not fully correspond to the concept of "social"., 
considers that the first term is also sometimes used to be appropriate. 
During the years of independence, a number of works devoted to social geography were 
carried out in Uzbekistan. A.S.Under the leadership of Soliev M.The dissertation (1996), 
advocated by Nazarov on the problems of providing medical services to akholi, was an important 
step from traditional economic geography to socil geography. As a continuation of this later 
Science, and the geography of scientific research (Nazarova X., 1997), geography of Medicine 
(Komilova N., 1999; 2012), geography of crime (Qayumov A., 2006). Later, several more 
dissertations of dahldor were defended to the geography of Medicine.

Thus, social geography (in a broad sense) is a system of Geographical Sciences that arises 
in the processes of integration between geographical sciences and Social Sciences. In the present 
period, a combination (synthesis) of Sciences is taking place in this system, and the general 
theory of isocial geography is rapidly being formed. Hence, social geography is going through a 
stage of formation and, therefore, indicates the prospect of its independence and a whole. 
The independence of social geography is, first of all, with the emergence of this theory of 
Science, and secondly, its. it is ensured by the formation of various disciplines that are integrated 
around it. 
Important functions of social geography are as follows: 
1) further strengthening the theoretical aspects of social geography, the development of 
incoming y "networks" of further content of its directions; 
2) conducting large, medium and small scale social and geographical research; 
3) to study the research carried out in foreign countries on social geography and to establish 
scientific cooperation with them; 
4) the specific task of social geography, which belongs to all directions, that is, to strengthen 
the practical implementation of the results of scientific research. 
In the present period, the following problems with social geography are prominent: 
-the fact that scientific research work in the areas related to the lifestyle and religion of akholi, 
behavior, science and education is not carried out in our country; 
- medical and geographical studies and insufficient assessment of their relevance; 
- non-existence of sufficient material conditions for Theoretical and practical research on 
social geography; 
- scarcity of scientific research on crime geography; 
-insufficient number of statistical materils associated with social and geographical research 
work, etc.
