Нормы законов нацелены на создание правовых условий для развития Туркестана как духовно-культурного, исторического и туристского центра Казахстана, а также защиту историко-культурного наследия и сохранение уникальности духовных объектов.«Важность присвоения особого статуса Туркестану – историческому городу и духовному центру тюркского мира была отмечена Президентом страны Касым-Жомартом Кемелевичем Токаевым на встрече с общественностью региона. Во исполнение поручения Главы государства разработан и одобрен специальный закон, в соответствии с которым предусмотрены комплексные меры по развитию города Туркестан как архитектурного, духовного, историко-культурного и туристического центра Казахстана. В этой связи были пересмотрены компетенции центральных и местных государственных органов. Наряду с этим, охвачены вопросы развития инженерной, транспортной, социальной и туристической инфраструктуры. Надеемся, что одобренные законы будут способствовать всестороннему развитию Туркестана»,– прокомментировал Маулен Ашимбаев одобренный закон.Для сохранения уникальности мавзолея Ходжи Ахмеда Яссауи будет установлен запрет на строительство объектов высотой более семи метров и несовместимых с памятниками истории и культуры по масштабу, цвету и строительным материалам на расстоянии ста метров от границы охранной зоны мавзолея.Предусмотрен и ряд поправок, направленный на обеспечение комфортных условий для лиц с инвалидностью и создание инклюзивного туризма. Речь идет, в том числе о безбарьерном доступе к инфраструктуре.Также пересмотрены компетенции для акиматов и маслихатов. Теперь осуществлять государственный контроль в сфере охраны и использования объектов историко-культурного наследия на территории города, разработку правил возмещения части затрат мастеров в сфере национального ремесленничества города за счет средств местного бюджета будет акимат. Касается это и процедуры согласования схем, и порядка движения транзитного автомобильного транспорта через территорию города Туркестана.Таким образом, как было отмечено сенаторами, законодательные нормы призваны сформировать эффективную систему управления и сохранения памятников и объектов историко-культурного значения города, в том числе расположенных в охранной зоне объекта всемирного наследия – мавзолея Ходжи Ахмеда Яссауи.Кроме того, сенаторы озвучили свои депутатские запросы.Андрей Лукин заявил, что отечественные предприниматели все чаще страдают от необоснованных отмен результатов госзакупок и предложил пакет мер по комплексному решению проблемы, включая разработку механизмов персональной ответственности аудиторов за систематические нарушения, в том числе дисциплинарные взыскания.Бибигуль Жексенбай указала на проблемы в сфере инклюзивного образования, ключевые из которых – нехватка специалистов и устаревшие нормы. Для решения проблемы сенатор предложила автоматизировать учет данных по лицам с инвалидностью, внедрить раннюю диагностику, увеличить подготовку специалистов и разработать дополнительные меры социальной поддержки семей.Айнур Аргынбекова акцентировала внимание на забюрократизированных процессах внедрения современных методов диагностики и лечения в стране, что препятствует своевременному излечению пациентов инновационными методами. Поэтому необходимо оптимизировать сроки регламентации этапов оценки технологий здравоохранения, упростить разрешительные процедуры, исключив дублирующие экспертизы новых технологий различными госорганами.Сакен Арубаев рассказал о проблемах хлопкоробов. Для модернизации отрасли сенатор предложил пересмотреть программу субсидирования, а также создать и развивать хлопковый кластер.Марат Кожаев считает, что штрафы не помогают бороться с растущим количеством нарушений ПДД.

Work has begun on installing temporary fences to increase passenger safety at Almaty metro stations.“During the design of existing stations, the regulatory documents regulating the construction of metro facilities did not provide for the installation of automatic sliding doors on platforms. Changes to these documents were made only in 2022. We thought about how to organize this process from the point of view of ensuring passenger safety. This requires a systematic approach, therefore, the installation of platform fences is currently provided for at stations under construction and being designed,” said Almasbek Orynbekov, director of the Almaty metro.The fences are installed to limit the space between cars and are carried out at the expense of the metro’s operating costs, that is, budget funds are not involved. This is a temporary solution aimed at increasing passenger safety, which will be used until permanent platform doors (screen doors) are installed.“Currently, we continue to install temporary separation structures between cars, and are also carrying out a set of test measures. On the Internet, I saw a photo where one of the sections was displaced relative to the inter-car space when the train stopped. I would like to clarify that this episode is also part of the testing process. Such cases are carefully analyzed. The work process does not stop - engineers synchronize the installation work with multi-stage checks to ensure the system’s operation,” the director of the Metropolitan continued.According to him, first, stainless steel supports are installed, and then impact-resistant tempered glass railings are attached to them. These works are planned to be completed soon.“Installing automated platform railings takes a long time, since it requires design, feasibility study, financing, as well as public procurement procedures. In this regard, temporary metal railings are being installed for the safety of passengers,” Almasbek Orynbekov concluded.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/927915

Reconstruction work on the building of the N. Sats Russian State Academic Theater for Children and Youth will begin soon in Almaty. The reconstruction project has passed state expertise, and the city administration has announced a competition to determine the contractor organization that will carry out the construction work. The Almaty Construction Department explained what solutions are provided for in the project and why 21.7 billion tenge has been allocated for its implementation. “The building was built in the 1980s and has never undergone major repairs since then. The theater team has repeatedly drawn public attention to the poor condition of the building. After appealing to the city akim, he gave an order to reconstruct the facility of great importance for the metropolis. During the technical examination, it was revealed that the equipment, engineering networks, roof, facade panels and interior finishing works are significantly worn out. Water flowing from the roof reaches the stage and auditorium, facade panels have fallen, posing a danger to pedestrians, and old electrical wiring poses a fire hazard. Currently, the building does not meet safety requirements and has lost its aesthetic appearance,” said the head of the department Almas Shabdarbayev. The reconstruction project was widely discussed among public representatives and experts. According to the project, the supporting structures will be strengthened, the roof and facade panels will be replaced, and all engineering communications will be updated. The building will be equipped with a fully automatic fire extinguishing system. In addition, theater equipment, stage, and lighting will be completely updated, the aisles between the seats will be expanded, and comfortable conditions will be created for people with disabilities. “Since the building is a historical and cultural monument of local significance, special attention was paid to the restoration and preservation of its architectural elements. For example, according to the original project, the historical appearance of the floor covering of the hall and the mosaic in the lobby of the building will also be restored,” said the head of the department.All of these works will be carried out as part of the reconstruction of the existing building with an area of ​​​​14.6 thousand square meters.In addition, a new three-story building with an area of ​​​​10 thousand square meters will be built nearby. The new building will house a 200-seat stage, make-up rooms, rooms for workshops and shops, warehouses for storing scenery, offices for artistic directors, a training stage for a children's theater studio and classrooms. The two buildings will be connected by a gallery passage.The theater is not an office building, therefore it requires the installation of special technical systems, such as lighting equipment, sound equipment, ventilation and air conditioning systems, stages with scenery mechanisms. Installing acoustics and lighting is one of the most complex works. The theater is a place where a large load is placed on the structure and equipment, so the equipment must meet strict standards, which ensures the safety of actors, technical staff and spectators. "If we look at the structure of the allocated funds, about 6 billion tenge is needed to fully equip the two buildings with modern equipment. 6 billion tenge is allocated for the reconstruction of the existing building and about 9 billion tenge for the construction of a new building. In addition, a gallery connecting the two buildings will be built, external networks will be replaced, and landscaping and beautification of the adjacent territory will be carried out. "This is a large-scale project, and after completion, we can confidently say that the theater will become a popular place for residents in the eastern part of the city," said Almas Shabdarbayev. It should be noted that the reconstruction of the main building is planned to be completed by the end of this year, and the full completion of the project is scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.
