SCIENTIFIC COOPERATION: VISIT TO GEORGIA BY SPECIALISTS FROM SHYMKENT DENDROSE PARK 08.09.2025
From September 1 to 8, 2025, specialists from the science department of the A. Askarov Shymkent State Dendrological Park visited Georgia on a scientific trip. During this trip, they visited the Batumi Botanical Garden and Shekvetili Dendrological Park, exchanged experiences with colleagues, and reached a number of agreements. First, the Kazakh delegation got acquainted with the famous botanical garden in Batumi. This scientific and cultural center, founded in 1912, is located on the picturesque shores of the Black Sea. The garden, which covers an area of 108 hectares, is home to more than 793 plant species. The Batumi Botanical Garden is internationally renowned as the largest and richest collection in the Caucasus region. The park contains a collection of rare trees and shrubs of subtropical, tropical and temperate zones. The delegation members got acquainted with the park's scientific laboratories, herbarium collection, introduction experience and methods of propagation of greenery. The next stage of the trip was a visit to the arboretum in the village of Shekhvetili. This park presents a variety of mainly subtropical plants. Dozens of species of ornamental trees and shrubs are grown here, many of which were brought from all over the world. In recent years, the Shekhvetili Arboretum has emerged as a scientific and experimental site, expanding international cooperation in the field of plant biology. It was especially useful for Shymkent specialists to get acquainted with the experience of this center. As a result of the visit, a bilateral memorandum was signed between the Shymkent Dendrological Park and its Georgian counterparts to strengthen scientific cooperation. The document provides for the exchange of plant seeds, the introduction of new species, joint scientific research, and opportunities for internships for young specialists. This agreement will strengthen not only scientific ties, but also a shared responsibility for the preservation of cultural and natural heritage. The scientific expedition ended with concrete results: 50 different introduced tree and shrub species were acquired for the Shymkent Arboretum; About 100 new species have been ordered; An agreement was made on the mutual exchange of tree and shrub seeds. Thus, the biological diversity of the park has been raised to a new level, paving the way for the formation of a green area of great visual and scientific value for the city's residents and visitors in the future. According to experts, such visits will deepen scientific and innovative ties between Kazakhstan and Georgia and allow for the exchange of experience in the field of dendrology. In particular, studying the adaptive features of plants in regions with similar climatic conditions is a common interest. At the same time, international partnerships contribute to increasing the professional potential of young scientists. They can not only learn from foreign experience, but also participate in the development of joint projects in new scientific areas. In the future, the Shymkent Arboretum will expand its scientific research activities and continue its practice of adapting introduced plant species to local conditions. It is also planned to participate in international symposiums and seminars. Newly introduced tree and shrub species will be planted in special sections of the park and subjected to scientific monitoring. The results of this work will contribute to the improvement of the city's ecology in the future and the sustainable development of green spaces. This visit, which took place from September 1 to 8, was one of the most important events in the history of the Shymkent Dendrological Park. The partnership with the Batumi Botanical Garden and Shekhvetili Dendrological Park will take cooperation in the field of nature conservation and scientific research between the two countries to a new level. The 50 new plant species obtained as a result of the scientific expedition and hundreds of specimens to be delivered in the future will not only enrich the park's resources, but also make a significant contribution to improving the beauty of the city of Shymkent. Thus, international experience and scientific exchange are increasing the potential of the local dendrological center and giving impetus to the development of green culture.

Shymkent's cycling infrastructure is developing: the bike path on Baydibek Avenue has received modern lighting. 07.09.2025
On September 7, 2025, lighting installation along the bike path and pedestrian area on Baidybek Bi Avenue in the Shymkent City microdistrict was completed. 124 modern lighting poles were installed, making the area safer, more comfortable, and more attractive for city residents. Previously, the bike path and sidewalk were commissioned without proper lighting. Despite this, they were actively used by residents: young people rode bicycles and scooters, parents took walks with their children, and older residents chose the alley for morning and evening strolls. However, the lack of lighting at night created certain inconveniences and even safety risks. Now, thanks to the installed streetlights, the situation has changed dramatically. In the evening and at night, the road section is illuminated evenly, allowing cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers to feel more confident. Lighting is not only a convenience but also a crucial safety feature. According to experts, well-lit streets reduce the likelihood of traffic accidents and help prevent crime. This is especially true for new neighborhoods in the city, where populations are rapidly growing and traffic is increasing. The Shymkent administration is systematically developing sports and pedestrian infrastructure. Bike paths are becoming an integral part of the urban environment. Cycling and active outdoor walks are not only an accessible form of physical activity but also an important element of a healthy lifestyle. Modern research shows that regular cycling strengthens the cardiovascular system, reduces stress, and improves respiratory function. For children, it's a great alternative to spending too much time on gadgets, and for adults, it's a low-cost way to stay physically fit. Creating comfortable conditions for outdoor sports is directly linked to the goals of national programs to build a healthy nation. This is why Shymkent places great emphasis not only on the construction of sports complexes but also on the development of courtyard, street, and cycling infrastructure. Equally important, the popularization of cycling has a positive impact on the city's environment. Bicycles emit no exhaust fumes, create no noise pollution, and take up less space on roads and in parking lots. For Shymkent, where the number of cars is growing annually, developing a cycling culture is becoming a strategic priority. The more residents choose cycling as an alternative mode of transport for short trips, the cleaner and safer the city's air will be. The installed lighting poles are equipped with energy-saving lamps and a modern power supply system. According to specialists, the new luminaires are durable, energy-efficient, and provide high illumination. This will reduce the burden on the city budget and ensure the stable operation of the system in the long term. Maintenance and regular monitoring of the equipment are also provided. In the event of malfunctions, prompt repairs will be carried out, ensuring uninterrupted operation of the lighting. Local residents greeted the news of the completion of the lighting installation with enthusiasm. A resident of the Aigul Zh. microdistrict shared: "We often come here for walks with the kids. It used to be uncomfortable in the dark, and we had to go home early. Now it's bright and safe, the kids can ride longer, and we feel more at ease." And student Arman, who uses a bicycle every day, noted: "This bike path has been a real godsend for us. Now I can ride safely in the evenings after school. I hope similar projects will appear in other parts of the city." The installation of lighting on Baidybek Bi Avenue is part of a comprehensive improvement program for Shymkent. In recent years, the city has been rapidly developing: new parks, alleys, and sports grounds are being built, roads are being repaired, and modern residential areas are being constructed. Particular attention is paid to creating a comfortable environment for living and recreation. City authorities emphasize that the administration's goal is to make Shymkent a modern metropolis where every resident feels safe and has the opportunity to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Thus, the installation of 124 lighting poles along the bike path and sidewalk on Baydibek Bi Avenue is not just a technical innovation, but an important step toward creating a modern, safe, and environmentally friendly urban environment. The new facility has become a clear example of how infrastructure solutions can impact residents' quality of life. Residents of the Shymkent City microdistrict can now use the bike path and pedestrian area at any time of day, enjoying walks and sports. The city administration is confident that such projects strengthen citizen trust and foster a culture of responsible ownership of their city. Shymkent is moving toward becoming one of the most convenient and environmentally friendly cities in the country, and the development of cycling infrastructure plays a vital role in this process.
THE CYCLE PATH IN THE FAME OF BAIDIBEK BI IS ILLUMINATED 07.09.2025
On September 7, 2025 , 124 modern light poles were installed on the bicycle lane on Baidibek Bi Avenue, located in the Shymkent City microdistrict of Shymkent. This innovation has become an important event for residents. Because now the bicycle lane and pedestrian areas will be convenient and safe to use not only during the day, but also at night. In recent years, the city administration has been paying special attention to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, the development of mass sports, and the use of environmentally friendly means of transport. A bicycle is not only a sports tool, but also a convenient means of transport in a modern city. Therefore, the construction of bicycle paths and their lighting are one of the main directions of infrastructure projects in the city. The bicycle path along Baidibek Bi Avenue was put into operation last year. At that time, residents and guests of the city welcomed this initiative with great joy. However, the issue of lighting has long been relevant. The darkness of the road posed a certain danger, especially for citizens who went for an evening walk or cycling at night. Now this problem has been completely resolved. The installed 124 light poles are equipped with modern energy-saving technologies. These lights: has a long-term use; allows you to save energy; Provides sufficient light levels without causing eye damage; Works effectively in various weather conditions. In addition, the design of the new lights also meets modern standards. This will not only beautify the city's appearance, but also improve the quality of the overall infrastructure. The lighting of the pedestrian and bicycle paths will allow residents to actively relax even in the evening. This is especially a great joy for residents who have made it a habit to take walks with their families. As representatives of the city's cycling association noted, the installation of traffic lights will not only ensure safety, but also help attract more people to an active lifestyle. Because a safe environment is a factor that directly affects people's regular participation in sports. Comfortable and safe bicycle paths also contribute to the development of a traffic culture in the city. Previously, some cyclists were forced to share the road with cars after dark. This, in turn, increased the risk of traffic accidents. Now, the lighting of the bicycle path has reduced this risk and created favorable conditions for all traffic participants. In addition, this initiative encourages the frequent use of environmentally friendly transport - bicycles. The development of an environmentally friendly, affordable mode of transport is part of the sustainable development strategy of the Shymkent akimat. The city administration pays special attention to the development of mass sports. In recent years, new sports grounds, outdoor fitness areas, pedestrian and bicycle paths have been built and put into operation in the city. The bicycle path along Baidibek Bi Avenue is a place that not only improves health for residents, but also allows them to spend their free time effectively. Cycling and running are becoming a habit, especially among young people. This will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the ecological situation of the city. The city's residents are expressing warm comments about the installation of new lights. Photos and videos posted on social media show residents' joy. Many support this initiative and express confidence that work on lighting other streets and bike paths will continue. The city administration plans to continue implementing infrastructure projects systematically in the future. In particular, measures aimed at ensuring public safety will be in focus. A special plan has been developed in Shymkent to build new bicycle paths, repair existing roads, and expand lighting. At the same time, the city authorities will continue to hold various events, cycling tours, and sports festivals to encourage residents to participate in mass sports. All of these events will not only improve the health of residents, but also revitalize the social life of the city. The lighting of the bicycle path along Baidibek Bi Avenue is a big step towards the safety and comfort of city residents. This project is a clear demonstration of Shymkent's development as a modern metropolis. The bicycle path and pedestrian path, equipped with 124 light poles, will provide residents with comfortable conditions for evening walks, sports, and spending time in the fresh air. Such measures taken by the city administration will undoubtedly continue in the future.

Timely cleaning of irrigation canals ensures uninterrupted water supply, prevents blockages, and improves the urban environment. Thus, the employees' efforts were not limited to simply removing trash. Their contribution to maintaining the irrigation systems is directly linked to the preservation and development of the city's green spaces. The event organizers emphasized that the citywide cleanup day is not only practical but also educational. The participation of government officials, including the Land Relations Department, is aimed at instilling in the population the habit of keeping public spaces clean and caring for the environment. During the event, department staff called on city residents to maintain order not only during cleanup days but also in their everyday lives. They emphasized that a clean city begins with each resident's yard, and environmental awareness is formed through simple habits—not littering, cleaning up after yourself, and preserving green spaces. The Head of the Land Relations Department noted that participation in the cleanup day is an important step toward strengthening team spirit and cohesion. He explained that such events help employees demonstrate social activism, increase their sense of responsibility, and simultaneously make a tangible contribution to the city's improvement.

Therefore, participating in cleanup days is not a formality, but our civic duty," the director emphasized. The department's staff also addressed the city's residents with an open appeal: "The city's cleanliness depends on each of us. If every resident maintains order in their home, yard, or workplace, Shymkent's overall appearance will become even more attractive." According to them, cleanup days should not be viewed as a one-off event, but as part of an overall city development strategy. A responsible attitude toward the environment not only contributes to improvements in the environment but also improves quality of life. As a result of the cleanup, several tons of household waste were collected and removed from the city. Sidewalks, courtyards, roadside areas, and irrigation canals were cleared. Green spaces received additional care. Local utility services ensured the timely removal of collected waste, and residents received a clear example of how, through joint efforts, the city can be made cleaner. The Shymkent mayor's office announced that such events will be held regularly. The main goal is not only to restore order but also to engage residents in fostering a culture of cleanliness and responsibility. The citywide cleanup event held on September 6, 2025, was a shining example of collaboration between city agencies and the active participation of Land Relations Department staff. The department's staff made a significant contribution to the city's sanitary conditions by cleaning the assigned area and irrigation systems. Initiatives like these demonstrate that cleanliness and order in the metropolis depend on the joint efforts of the government and the public. The example of the department's staff underscores that sustainable results can only be achieved through the personal involvement of each individual. Today, Shymkent is a dynamically developing metropolis, and caring for its appearance, sanitation, and the environment should be a priority for all residents. Cleanup days are becoming an integral part of this process, uniting people around a common goal: to create a clean, well-maintained, and livable city.
