Scientific and theoretical prerequisites for the study of medical and geographical research in Central Kazakhstan

Abstract

The article analyzes scientific research in the field of historical and modern aspects of the development of geographical science and medical geographical research in the world and in Kazakhstan, in order to substantiate the scientific and theoretical foundations for studying medical geographical research in Central Kazakhstan. The article presents the main directions of scientific research of various scientific medical-geographical schools of the countries of far and near abroad. The brief analysis of scientific research allows us to state the fact of the insufficient degree of development of medical and geographical research in the modern geographical science of Kazakhstan, the lack of study of the influence of natural, anthropogenic, and socio-economic factors on the formation of the medical and geographical situation in certain regions of the country. This allows us to justify the timeliness and prospects for further study of the dynamically changing problems of medical and geographical analysis of territories at the present stage of socio-economic development, the influence of geographical and technogenic factors in ecologically disadvantaged regions on the formation of public health of the population on the example of Central Kazakhstan.
