Abstract
This study focuses on the Central Asian country of Kazakhstan, and the scope of the research space includes Shymkent and Turkistan, cities of the southern region. There are a number of reasons why this region was chosen as the scope of the study, including the lack of existing domestic research. Administrative changes in the southern region took place in 2018. In the case of Shymkent, the ethnic composition and forms of economic trade are unique in relation to Uzbekistan. In the case of Turkistan, the city has recently established itself as a new tourism-specialised city, based on its perception as a spiritual city. In this context, this researcher aims to analyze the current status and cultural characteristics of these cities based on his own experience of visiting them, and to derive their cultural identities. In addition, I will discuss the urban development policies and future prospects that the Kazakh government is pursuing in both cities.
