In Shymkent, land issues remain among the most pressing topics for city residents. In this regard, the AMANAT party organized a mobile meeting in the 156th microdistrict of the Turansky district. The meeting was initiated by the party control commission and the land commission of the party's Shymkent branch. The event was held on November 4, 2025, based on a collective appeal from residents facing problems in registering land plots for individual housing construction.
Residents of the neighborhood reported that for several years they have been unable to build residential buildings on their land. In some cases, residents have already built homes on so-called "red lines," but obtaining architectural planning permits from the Shymkent Department of Architecture and Urban Development has proven impossible. According to the department, these plots are designated as industrial zones under the city's new general plan.
Furthermore, some residents expressed concerns about the impact of radiation on human health. Specifically, they raised concerns about the Kazteleradio television tower located nearby. They stated that radiation from the tower could pose a health risk, even though the state land titles clearly state that their intended use is "individual housing construction." These issues became the subject of active discussion at the on-site meeting.
Residents also voiced their suggestions on social and infrastructure issues, including building a school in the neighborhood, improving road conditions, providing utilities, and other pressing issues. They emphasized that basic infrastructure is essential for comfortable living in the neighborhood and ensuring the safety of children and adults.
The meeting was attended by Yerbol Baikonysov, Deputy Executive Secretary of the Shymkent City Branch of the AMANAT Party; Kairat Imashev, Head of the Party's Faction in the City Maslikhat; Muftulla Konakbayev and Abzal Zeynetayev, Maslikhat Deputies; members of the Party Control Commission; and representatives of the Department of Architecture and Urban Development, Land Relations, and Sanitary and Epidemiological Control.
According to commission representatives, the land issue raised by residents has a long history. The plots were transferred to private ownership during the existence of the South Kazakhstan Region, when they were part of the Sairam District. After the area was incorporated into Shymkent, disagreements with the city's new general plan arose. The plots, previously legally registered, now do not comply with urban development requirements under the new plan, creating problems for their owners.
The commission listened carefully to residents, discussed the current situation, and proposed holding an additional on-site meeting with law enforcement agencies to clarify all legal and technical aspects. The next meeting is planned to address specific solutions, including legal land registration and housing construction.
Currently, there are approximately 900 land plots in the 156th microdistrict that are in dispute. Of these, construction is already underway on 198 plots. All of these plots were transferred to private ownership during the South Kazakhstan Region, but they currently do not comply with Shymkent's new general plan. This has led to numerous disputes between citizens and the city administration.
During the meeting, residents received detailed explanations of the legal aspects of land relations, architectural requirements, and urban planning regulations. The commission emphasized that all decisions will be made strictly within the framework of current legislation. Each case will be considered individually, taking into account all the circumstances.
Particular attention was paid to the intended use of land plots and the availability of necessary construction permits. Commission representatives emphasized that all disputes can be resolved subject to compliance with established procedures and legal norms. Citizens were advised that if violations or discrepancies are identified, they must act within the legal framework to avoid further conflicts and problems.
The discussion also focused on measures to improve the neighborhood's social and public infrastructure. Residents expressed requests for the construction of a school, access to healthcare and public services, and the development of a road network. Party and administration representatives noted that these issues will be taken into account when planning future events and development of the area.
Following the meeting, the commission summarized its preliminary findings and outlined next steps. It was decided to organize an additional on-site meeting, where, with the participation of specialists and law enforcement agencies, all contentious issues would be addressed, specific recommendations would be developed, and solutions would be identified.
Residents of the neighborhood expressed satisfaction with the attention paid to their concerns and confidence that issues will be resolved transparently and in accordance with the law. They noted that the AMANAT party's involvement in monitoring and resolving land disputes increases trust in local government bodies and strengthens confidence in the protection of their rights.
A field meeting in the 156th microdistrict demonstrated that the AMANAT party continues to engage with residents, monitor compliance with citizens' rights, and resolve land issues within the law. The commission emphasized the importance of openness, transparency, and a systematic approach to resolving land disputes to minimize conflicts and promote regional development.
Thus, the on-site meeting was an important step in resolving the land issues of the neighborhood's residents, fostering dialogue between citizens and authorities, and ensuring the legality and transparency of land-related procedures. The party and the commission will continue their work, with additional meetings and events planned to finally resolve contentious issues, improve social infrastructure, and improve the neighborhood's standard of living.
