The research aims to identify effective methods for the utilization of tourist resources that simultaneously support environmental sustainability and socio-economic advancement. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative data from surveys conducted with local tourism stakeholders—such as business owners, tourists, and municipal officials—with qualitative insights drawn from interviews and focus group discussions. Additionally, secondary data from official statistics and regional tourism strategies were analyzed to support the findings. Results reveal that although Samarkand is rich in cultural and historical assets, sustainable tourism efforts face several challenges, including infrastructure limitations, insufficient digital integration, and fluctuations in seasonal demand. Nonetheless, the study highlights successful practices such as community-based tourism models, eco-tourism routes, and strategic public-private partnerships that contribute to greater sustainability and inclusivity. The research offers a theoretical contribution by proposing a region-specific framework that aligns economic development with the preservation of cultural heritage, particularly within the unique socio-political context of a post-Soviet Central Asian setting. Practical implications point toward the need for improved digital infrastructure, targeted capacity-building initiatives for local actors, and financial incentives for projects aligned with sustainable tourism goals. Limitations of the study include a relatively small sample size and a focus confined to one geographic region, which may limit the broader applicability of the findings. Future research is encouraged to expand this analysis across multiple regions and include longitudinal data to observe evolving trends in sustainable tourism development.</p> Nargiza Abduvakhidova Copyright (c) 2025 Nargiza Abduvakhidova https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/883 Mon, 14 Apr 2025 07:30:41 +0000 Sustainable Development of Higher Education Institutions: Principles and Mechanisms https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/884 <p>The sustainable development of higher education institutions (HEIs) is essential for fostering long-term academic, social, and environmental impact.

This article explores how national certification and quality assurance systems act as catalysts for systemic innovation, drawing upon Rogers of Innovations (DOI) theory. Through a qualitative multi-case study of three national certification schemes—VisitScotland Quality Assurance (QA), New Zealand Qualmark (QM), and Iceland's Vakinn—the research examines the impact of innovation attributes such as relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability on the diffusion process. The findings suggest that relative advantage and compatibility are the most influential drivers for adoption, while complexity and observability play moderate roles, and trialability remains limited. Certifications, although intended to promote standardization and safety, can both facilitate and hinder innovation depending on their design, focus, and adaptability to specific tourism sub-sectors. The study reveals the nuanced dynamics between innovation and standardization, highlighting the importance of aligning certification systems with the unique needs of experience-based tourism. The article concludes with recommendations for developing more flexible and inclusive certification frameworks that promote innovation without compromising authenticity or sustainability. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on innovation policy, sustainable tourism, and quality assurance in the adventure tourism industry.</p> Taniyev Ahmadjon Copyright (c) 2025 Taniyev Ahmadjon https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/889 Wed, 16 Apr 2025 16:53:53 +0000 Sustainable Development of Higher Education Institutions: Principles and Mechanisms https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/890 <p>The sustainable development of higher education institutions (HEIs) is essential for fostering long-term academic, social, and environmental impact. <strong>General background</strong> emphasizes the rising demand for universities to adopt sustainable practices in governance, curriculum, infrastructure, and community engagement. <strong>Specific background</strong> highlights growing international commitments such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which position HEIs as key drivers of inclusive and responsible development.

Traditional accounting models often fall short in addressing the dynamic, project-based, and multi-phase nature of construction activities, especially in the context of digital transformation and sustainability trends. Despite the growing body of research on management accounting, practical implementation in construction organizations remains inconsistent, particularly in integrating cost accounting with life cycle analysis and digital platforms. This study aims to analyze the methodological aspects of management accounting in construction organizations, assess existing practices, and propose an improved accounting framework tailored to industry-specific needs. The findings reveal key shortcomings in current practices, such as limited digital integration, lack of accounting by responsibility centers, and insufficient budgeting coordination. The study proposes aligning cost management with the construction project's life cycle and integrating ERP and BIM technologies for real-time decision-making. It also introduces strategies for risk sensitivity analysis and life cycle costing to improve long-term financial outcomes. The research presents a holistic methodology that incorporates traditional cost accounting methods—such as custom, actual, and normative approaches—with modern digital tools and sustainable construction practices. The proposed model enhances the effectiveness of financial planning, improves internal control, and supports strategic sustainability. It provides construction managers with a comprehensive tool for informed decision-making and optimizing project performance from planning to utilization.</p> Mamutova Amina Rakhmetovna Copyright (c) 2025 Mamutova Amina Rakhmetovna https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/895 Wed, 23 Apr 2025 16:49:50 +0000 Financial Management System of Join-Stock Capital https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/896 <p>The current stage of the development of corporatization consists in a powerful concentration of capital through mergers and acquisitions of joint-stock companies, the creation of strategic alliances; globalization through the organization of subsidiaries in the most attractive foreign markets, the distribution of goods and services outside their country.

Customer loyalty is examined as a crucial factor for sustainable success in the restaurant industry, with particular attention to food quality, pricing strategies, customer service, ambiance, loyalty programs, and online presence.The research employs a mixed-method approach based on descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Data was collected via an online survey distributed through social media platforms, primarily targeting respondents from Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Microsoft Excel was utilized for quantitative data processing, and open-ended responses were thematically categorized to enrich the qualitative findings. The findings reveal that food quality, service excellence, and fair pricing are the primary determinants of customer loyalty. Although loyalty programs were deemed important by 75.7% of respondents, actual participation remained low at 24.2%, indicating a gap between perception and practice. The study highlights the significance of emotional connection, brand image, and transparency in communication as additional factors influencing loyalty. Addressing negative customer experiences effectively was also found to significantly impact return intentions. The research concludes that restaurants must adopt a holistic, customer-centric approach encompassing superior service quality, customized loyalty programs, robust online presence, and emotionally resonant branding to build sustainable customer loyalty. These insights contribute practical recommendations for enhancing the restaurant industry's competitiveness, particularly in the local Uzbek context, and provide a foundation for future regional and sectoral comparisons.</p> Elnurjon Tuychiev Kosim o’g’li, Farrukh Mamadiyorov Shukhratovich, Akmalbek Davronov Bakhodirovich Copyright (c) 2025 Elnurjon Tuychiev Kosim o’g’li https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/903 Sat, 03 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Economic Factors for Ensuring Safety in Tourism https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/905 <p>This article explores the essential economic factors involved in ensuring safety within historical and cultural tourism. It emphasizes the importance of safety infrastructure, trained personnel, insurance, technical maintenance, and emergency preparedness. The study employs economic modeling and cost-benefit analysis to examine the relationship between tourism safety and sectoral sustainability. Using both domestic and international cases, including post-crisis drops in tourism flow, the paper shows that investing in safety not only prevents losses but also fosters long-term economic growth by increasing tourist confidence and repeat visits.

As the country positions itself as a growing tourism destination, analyzing the development and efficiency of private sector participation becomes increasingly significant. While tourism’s contribution to Uzbekistan’s economy is recognized, there is limited empirical research that evaluates the regional disparities, investment dynamics, and socio-economic outcomes of entrepreneurial activity within this sector. Existing studies often lack integrated approaches combining spatial, statistical, and policy perspectives. This research applies SWOT analysis, comparative evaluation, and statistical analysis to assess the pace and impact of entrepreneurial development in Uzbekistan’s tourism sector. Key indicators include the number of active tourism entities, investment volumes, private sector participation, and job creation. The study reveals significant growth in tourism entrepreneurship, driven by increased private sector engagement and investment activity. However, regional imbalances persist certain areas show high levels of entrepreneurship, while others lag behind due to infrastructural and institutional limitations. Factors such as limited access to finance, bureaucratic obstacles, and skills shortages were identified as key barriers. The article emphasizes the need for targeted regional policies to reduce territorial inequality and stimulate balanced tourism growth. Policy recommendations include improving access to credit, enhancing human capital, and creating favorable investment conditions. Strengthening tourism entrepreneurship can significantly contribute to Uzbekistan’s socio-economic development and help achieve long-term sustainability in the tourism industry.</p> Mardonova Dilafruz Kosimovna Copyright (c) 2025 Mardonova Dilafruz Kosimovna https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/921 Sat, 17 May 2025 16:41:18 +0000 Implementation of State Programs for the Development of the Tourism Industry in Uzbekistan https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/922 <p>This study explores the practises of implementing the state programmes addressing the development of Uzbekistan’s tourism sector as a strategic part of the economic development of the country. Notwithstanding significant reformation in the forms of: infrastructure modernization; visa-free regime and formation of a tourism cluster—a major knowledge vacuum exists in terms of assessing the actual status versus the expected levels. Through qualitative analysis of government policies, quantitative data and case study of reforms, the paper examines the effectiveness of these reforms. Findings indicate advancement in institutional support; tourist inflow; and incentive for entrepreneurships; however, the position identifies the lack of progress in realising vital objectives especially because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The development of tourism clusters, such as “Bukhara Desert Oasis &amp; Spa”, is an example of successful joined development, which will increase the level of local employment and investment. Results emphasise the necessity for continued policy flexibility and increased intersectoral cooperation. According to the study, although the tourism strategy has established a solid ground in Uzbekistan, there is critical need to fill in the gap between policy design and the realisation of outcome for achieving a long-term regional competitiveness and diversification of the economy.</p> Tatyana Valeryevna Kim, Iparkhon Yusupova Farhod qizi Copyright (c) 2025 Tatiana Valeryevna Kim, Iparkhon Yusupova Farhod qizi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/922 Sun, 18 May 2025 06:20:22 +0000 The Role of Digital, Financial, and Institutional Innovation in Modernising Tourism Services in Samarkand https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/923 <p>This study examines the influence of innovative strategies on the quality and efficiency of service provided by tourism enterprises in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.

As global tourism continues to expand, ensuring consistent and measurable service quality has become a priority for stakeholders across the industry. Despite widespread acknowledgment of service quality’s importance, there remains a lack of standardized criteria and comprehensive models that integrate both customer-centric and enterprise-level perspectives in assessing tourism services. Many studies emphasize either customer satisfaction or operational efficiency, often neglecting the interplay between qualitative and quantitative indicators. This study employs a comparative analysis of existing methodologies used to evaluate service quality in tourism, incorporating both quantitative tools (e.g., SERVQUAL, performance metrics) and qualitative techniques (e.g., interviews, satisfaction surveys). The research focuses on identifying relevant indicators, structural elements, and stages of service quality assessment. The analysis reveals that an effective evaluation framework must balance objective service performance measures with subjective customer experience insights. Key indicators include responsiveness, reliability, tangibles, empathy, and assurance. Moreover, the study identifies essential stages in the assessment process: criteria selection, data collection, customer feedback analysis, and implementation of service improvements. Tourism enterprises must adopt a multidimensional approach to quality assessment, integrating both internal performance standards and external customer evaluations. This ensures enhanced service delivery, greater customer loyalty, and sustained competitiveness. The findings provide a basis for developing standardized quality evaluation models tailored to the needs of modern tourism businesses.</p> Kamolova Mokhinur Iskandarovna Copyright (c) 2025 Kamolova Mokhinur Iskandarovna https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/924 Tue, 20 May 2025 01:13:51 +0000 Development of Services in Modern Urban Areas https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/925 <p>The rapid evolution of urban service systems in the 21st century reflects broader transformations in infrastructure, governance, and technology. While smart cities promise enhanced efficiency and sustainability, significant disparities persist in how services are distributed and governed across global urban landscapes. Existing literature often emphasizes technological advancement but insufficiently addresses the political and spatial dynamics shaping service provision. This study addresses this knowledge gap by employing a qualitative, inquiry-based methodology informed by discourse analysis, documentary review, and secondary case illustrations from cities such as Amsterdam, Singapore, and London. Using interpretivist and urban political ecology frameworks, the research explores how discourses of smart urbanism and infrastructural splintering influence the development and accessibility of public services. The findings reveal that modern urban services are increasingly structured around premium networked spaces, privileging corporate and elite users while peripheral communities remain underserved. Participatory and adaptive models, such as Amsterdam’s incremental co-creation practices, demonstrate more inclusive pathways for urban innovation. However, a lack of comprehensive evaluation frameworks and the persistence of legacy infrastructure limit systemic transformation. The study concludes that equitable and sustainable service delivery requires a paradigm shift—one that aligns technological deployment with social justice, environmental stewardship, and democratic governance. These findings have implications for urban planners, policymakers, and civic institutions aiming to redesign urban services in the digital age. Future research should further investigate the long-term impacts of smart service models and develop robust tools for evaluating equity and resilience in urban service systems.</p> Ismailov Najmiddin Ilxamovich Copyright (c) 2025 Ismailov Najmiddin Ilxamovich https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/925 Wed, 21 May 2025 17:08:06 +0000 A Review of TM Positioning Marketing Strategy as The Market Leader of Telecommunication Industry in Malaysia https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/926 <p>This paper presents a comprehensive review of the marketing positioning strategy of Telekom Malaysia (TM), the longest-established and most dominant telecommunications company in Malaysia. Since its inception in 1946, TM has evolved into the market leader in fixed-line and broadband services, positioning itself as a pioneer in technological innovation and customer-centric service delivery. The study aims to explore how TM sustains its leadership status amid increasing market liberalization and growing competition from mobile and fiber broadband providers. Drawing on extensive literature and corporate data, the research adopts a quantitative methodology to analyze TM’s strategic positioning efforts. The findings reveal that TM leverages its extensive infrastructure, government-linked status, and brand legacy to maintain a near-monopoly, especially in last-mile connectivity. However, the rise of competitors such as Maxis and DIGI poses a strategic challenge. The study concludes that TM must innovate continuously, invest in customer experience, and modernize its infrastructure to preserve its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving telecommunications sector. Recommendations for enhancing TM’s strategic agility and service differentiation are provided to support long-term sustainability in a competitive regional market.</p> Laith Ali Zgair Gharan, Oday Lateef Mahmood, Baraa Shaalan Amir Copyright (c) 2025 Laith Ali Zgair Gharan, Oday Lateef Mahmood, Baraa Shaalan Amir https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/926 Thu, 22 May 2025 16:21:00 +0000 The Importance of Special Public Events in Increasing the Attractiveness of Tourist Destinations in Uzbekistan https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/927 <p>This study explores the interplay between carbon economics and the environmental implications of abolishing individually-owned local crude oil refineries in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria. Against the backdrop of Nigeria's carbon-intensive economy and the proliferation of unregulated oil refining activities, this research identifies a critical knowledge gap in understanding localized carbon dynamics and their broader ecological and economic consequences. Utilizing a correlational research design, a stratified sample of 120 male adults from four communities was surveyed using a validated questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation to assess relationships among the emergence of local refineries, environmental health, and carbon economic variables. The findings reveal a statistically significant, moderate positive correlation between the rise of local refineries and environmental degradation, as well as between carbon economics and both environmental health and the proposed abolition of these refineries. The results underscore the ecological cost of carbon-driven industrial practices and support the urgent need for targeted policy reforms. The study implies that while locally-owned refineries contribute to economic sustenance in oil-producing regions, they simultaneously exacerbate carbon emissions and environmental harm. Therefore, policies aimed at refinery abolition must also address the socioeconomic roots of illegal refining activities, such as unemployment and weak regulatory institutions. This research contributes to the discourse on sustainable environmental management by highlighting the role of localized carbon economies and informing carbon mitigation strategies within the context of Nigeria’s energy landscape.</p> Ibragimov Sardorbek Khusanovich Copyright (c) 2025 Ibragimov Sardorbek Khusanovich https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/927 Fri, 23 May 2025 23:01:28 +0000 The Concept of Financial Sustainability and Its Role In Road Construction Organizations https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/928 <p>For road construction companies, financial sustainability has become a critical factor in determining operational success and long-term survival, particularly in infrastructure-dependent and economically unstable countries like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). This study investigates the idea of financial sustainability by looking at how it affects project continuity, investment capacity, and organizational resilience in the road construction industry. The research emphasizes systemic financial barriers that impede the development of sustainable infrastructure, and it is based on the diagnostic findings of the World Bank's Financial Access and Stability report. These include inadequate institutional frameworks, a dearth of diverse financial markets, and restricted access to financing. This study uses a qualitative thematic analysis of regional financial reports to identify important legislative and structural elements that impact construction companies' capacity to get finance. The research makes specific recommendations for improving financial sustainability, including bolstering capital market expansion, improving credit infrastructure, and promoting the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) norms into financial planning frameworks. In order to guarantee sustainable road infrastructure finance in the MENA area, the paper's conclusion emphasizes the need of comprehensive reforms that integrate organizational practices, financial system development, and government policy.</p> Rakhimov Dilshodjon Turdiali o‘g‘li Copyright (c) 2025 Rakhimov Dilshodjon Turdiali o‘g‘li https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/928 Sun, 25 May 2025 07:46:00 +0000 The Importance of Digital Technologies in Improving The Efficiency of Public Funds Management in The Treasury System https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/929 <p>The efficient management of public funds is a core pillar of modern public administration. As digital technologies advance, their integration into treasury systems has become essential for enhancing financial transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency. Countries like South Korea, Singapore, the USA, and France have pioneered digital treasury systems utilizing AI, blockchain, big data analytics, and integrated platforms. These systems have proven to reduce costs, prevent fraud, and streamline financial operations. Despite global advancements, Uzbekistan’s treasury system faces challenges such as underdeveloped infrastructure, limited expert capacity, and insufficient legal regulation for implementing digital tools. This underscores the need to explore international practices and evaluate local applicability. This study aims to analyze global experiences in digitalizing treasury systems and assess their adaptability in Uzbekistan’s context to improve the management of public financial resources. The research highlights significant improvements in transparency, cost-efficiency, and decision-making in countries with mature digital treasury infrastructures. A SWOT analysis reveals Uzbekistan’s strengths (political will, legal reforms), weaknesses (infrastructure, expertise), opportunities (global collaboration, lower tech costs), and threats (cybersecurity, brain drain). Based on this, a roadmap for digital transformation in Uzbekistan’s treasury was proposed. The study offers a structured comparison of international digital treasury systems and provides tailored recommendations for Uzbekistan, integrating global practices with local institutional realities. These findings support policy reforms and investment strategies aimed at digitizing public finance in Uzbekistan and contribute to scholarly discussions on digital governance and financial management systems.</p> Muhammad Bahodir Habibullo o‘g‘li Copyright (c) 2025 Muhammad Bahodir Habibullo o‘g‘li https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/929 Sun, 25 May 2025 08:11:50 +0000 Service Quality and Customer Patronage of United Bank for Africa (Uba) Plc, Aka Road, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/930 <p>The study looked at customer dissatisfaction, service delivery delays, and declining customer patronage at United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, Aka Road, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, as a result of service quality gaps.&nbsp;&nbsp; This study examined the relationship between excellent customer service and customer loyalty.&nbsp;&nbsp; This analysis is based on relationship marketing theory and the SERVQUAL model.&nbsp;&nbsp; Data was gathered using a descriptive survey research approach with a convenience sample size of 398 respondents.

Despite the growing significance of the service sector, its development is constrained by outdated institutional frameworks and the lack of coordinated efforts between key stakeholders. Current literature provides fragmented analyses of institutional factors, often neglecting the dual role they play in enabling and hindering enterprise competitiveness. This study aims to identify and evaluate institutional conditions legal, financial, technological, and infrastructural that influence the competitiveness of service enterprises, with particular attention to public-private partnerships. The findings reveal that a combination of enabling legal regulations, financial accessibility, skilled labor availability, digital infrastructure, and intersectoral collaboration significantly contribute to enterprise competitiveness. Conversely, institutional barriers such as bureaucracy, corruption, and institutional inertia obstruct progress. A comprehensive classification of institutional factors was developed to distinguish between encouraging and obstructive elements. This paper uniquely integrates institutional theory with service enterprise development, proposing a systematic framework for institutional factor analysis. Policymakers and stakeholders should harmonize institutional reforms with the practical needs of service enterprises by streamlining legislation, supporting vocational education, fostering innovation, and promoting PPPs. These efforts are critical for achieving a sustainable and competitive service sector.</p> Mirzaaxmedov Durbek Copyright (c) 2025 Mirzaaxmedov Durbek https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/931 Sun, 25 May 2025 19:03:47 +0000 Improvement of The Management System of Small Industrial Zones in The Khorezm Region of The Republic of Uzbekistan https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/932 <p>This article focuses on improving the management system of small industrial zones in the Khorezm region of Uzbekistan.

Promotion is not merely about advertising it shapes how consumers mentally image a brand or organization. Dairy product organizations, particularly in regions like Karbala, Iraq, must use tailored promotion strategies to compete effectively and build a positive organizational image. However, the interaction between promotional tools (e.g., price discounts, free samples, in-store displays) and the consumer's mental image has been understudied in localized contexts. Few empirical studies explore the direct statistical relationship between promotion strategies and the mental image of an organization, especially among food product consumers in developing markets. This study aims to examine the correlation and causal impact between promotional strategies and the mental image of dairy-producing organizations, using a sample of 21 consumers in Karbala. The dimensions of both constructs were operationalized and analyzed through SPSS-based statistical tests. The findings confirm a statistically significant and strong positive correlation (r = 0.897, p &lt; 0.05) between promotion strategy and the mental image of the organization. The regression analysis revealed that promotion strategy explains 80.5% of the variance in the organizational image, highlighting the dominance of in-store display and free sample strategies. The research uniquely integrates promotional mix dimensions with multi-faceted mental image constructs (cognitive, emotional, behavioral, social), offering a model for local market assessment. The study provides actionable recommendations for enhancing promotional strategy, emphasizing informed and ethical communication practices that strengthen organizational perception among consumers.</p> Muntadher Kadhim Shamran, Abeer M.

In addition, it is emphasized that the effective use of video content, storytelling and personalization plays an important role in the development of the field.</p> Bunyod Matyusupov Copyright (c) 2025 Bunyod Matyusupov https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/915 Tue, 27 May 2025 16:04:13 +0000 Analysis of Factors Influencing Tourist Services in Uzbekistan https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/914 <p>Tourism is a vital driver of economic development, job creation, and cultural exchange globally, and Uzbekistan is no exception, particularly in the post-COVID recovery phase. With its rich cultural heritage and state-backed initiatives like the "Uzbekistan – 2030" Strategy, Uzbekistan has experienced a revival in tourist inflows, reaching 5.2 million visitors in 2023. However, disparities in infrastructure and service quality persist across regions. Despite state efforts, there remains insufficient empirical analysis on the combined impact of infrastructural, economic, and technological factors on the tourism services sector in Uzbekistan.&nbsp; This study aims to quantify and assess the effects of key variables tourist numbers, transportation quality, service costs, and digitalization on the volume of tourism services. Econometric modeling using 2019–2023 data reveals that tourist volume (r = +0.85), transport infrastructure (r = +0.79), and &nbsp;digitalization (r = +0.70) positively influence the sector, while service costs (r = –0.63) have a detrimental effect. The model explains 81% of service volume variation (R² = 0.81). The research uniquely integrates regional analysis and highlights post-COVID trends, identifying territorial disparities and proposing actionable recommendations including service certification, IT integration, and regional brand development. Implications: The findings offer critical guidance for policymakers in crafting equitable and sustainable tourism development strategies aligned with national objectives, enhancing Uzbekistan's competitiveness in the global tourism arena.</p> Javohirbek Javohirbek Jo‘raqul o‘g‘li Copyright (c) 2025 Javohirbek Begimkulov https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/914 Thu, 29 May 2025 11:46:46 +0000 Strategies for Managing Client Relationships In Small Businesses https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/934 <p>This study investigates the development of customer relationship management (CRM) strategies tailored for small businesses, focusing on fostering long-term customer loyalty and enhancing service quality. While the retention of existing clients and the attraction of new ones are crucial for small enterprises, achieving this requires well-designed, multifaceted strategies. Through comparative analysis and literature review, the research identifies four core dimensions essential to CRM success in small firms: (1) building customer trust through product quality, service, and pricing; (2) implementing material incentives such as promotions, discounts, loyalty programs, and cashback systems; (3) using non-material incentives, including emotional engagement, social responsibility, and gamification; and (4) optimizing communication via both mass media and direct channels, incorporating omnichannel approaches. The study highlights the importance of aligning company objectives with client expectations to sustain competitive advantage and customer satisfaction. Additionally, the paper emphasizes the role of CRM software in automating customer interactions, improving decision-making, and delivering personalized service. By structuring these strategies into an actionable framework, small businesses can strengthen customer relationships, improve retention rates, and increase profitability, even in highly competitive markets. The findings provide practical implications for entrepreneurs, managers, and policymakers aiming to enhance small business performance through strategic customer relationship management.</p> Rasulov Xamidjon Yakubovich Copyright (c) 2025 Rasulov Xamidjon Yakubovich https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/934 Mon, 02 Jun 2025 18:17:00 +0000 Factors for Improving Service Quality Through Digital Technologies in Enterprises https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/935 <p>In the era of rapid digital transformation, enterprises increasingly leverage digital technologies to enhance service quality and strengthen customer relationships.

During the 1920s–1930s, Samarkand became a vibrant intersection of Eastern artistic heritage and Western painterly techniques, significantly influenced by political reforms and cultural modernization. Despite the rich documentation of artistic evolution in Soviet territories, a comprehensive theoretical framework contextualizing Samarkand’s unique artistic development during this era remains underdeveloped. This study aims to explore the impact of Samarkand’s artistic life in the 1920s on the formation of easel painting in Uzbekistan, focusing on the contributions of both local and Russian-trained artists. The findings reveal the coexistence and tension between national traditions and socialist realism, embodied in the works of A. Volkov, P. Benkov, O. Tatevosyan, and Usto Mumin. The city hosted artists who adapted decorative folk styles, miniature aesthetics, and plein-air impressionism to create a culturally hybrid visual language. The research highlights the individual stylistic trajectories of Samarkand artists, uncovers the absence of rigid creative collectives, and documents the city’s appeal to Russian artists, whose visits catalyzed intercultural exchanges. Understanding the artistic life of Samarkand in this transitional period deepens our comprehension of regional cultural identity formation, the negotiation of tradition and ideology, and the broader Soviet artistic experience within a multinational context.</p> Zhuraev Xamza Xamrakulovich, Kadirov JamshidKhan lmukhamad ugli Copyright (c) 2025 Zhuraev Xamza Xamrakulovich, Kadirov JamshidKhan lmukhamad ugli https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/936 Tue, 03 Jun 2025 02:05:35 +0000 Main Directions and Development Prospects of Risk Management in Manufacturing Enterprises https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/937 <p>In the context of increasing global competition and external environmental uncertainty, effective risk management in manufacturing enterprises has become strategically important.

The overall corporate loan portfolio expanded nearly 5.7 times during the period, driven by structural reforms, government support programs, and improved credit conditions. Forecasts using the SARIMA and Holt-Winters models provide different perspectives: SARIMA anticipates a moderate and risk-sensitive growth path, while Holt-Winters projects a more optimistic scenario with rapid expansion, particularly from 2026 onwards. Both models suggest continued lending growth, but emphasize the importance of strategic planning. SARIMA highlights the need for risk mitigation amid economic uncertainties, whereas Holt-Winters supports a long-term view grounded in technological advancement, digitalization, and sustained policy support. The insights from both models will be crucial for policymakers and financial institutions to design balanced, forward-looking credit strategies that support sustainable economic development.</p> Ishandjanov Sardor Tulashbekovich Copyright (c) 2025 Ishandjanov Sardor Tulashbekovich https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/940 Sat, 07 Jun 2025 16:48:36 +0000 Specific Features of Women's Entrepreneurship https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/941 <p>This article explores the unique features of women’s entrepreneurship and its socio-economic significance within the broader context of gender equality and inclusive development.

The strength of the legal framework, the predictability of economic policy and the existence of bilateral and multilateral agreements between states are considered important factors in the stable and consistent attraction of foreign investment flows. In particular, the impact of such instruments as international investment treaties, memorandums on trade and economic cooperation, free trade zones and bilateral investment agreements on investment attractiveness is illustrated using examples. The article also analyzes the political and economic strategies of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the field of foreign investment, their coordination with international cooperation mechanisms, as well as the system of legal guarantees and privileges created for foreign investors. Also, the place occupied by Uzbekistan in international investment ratings in recent years, cooperation with international organizations and the effectiveness of the most important legal reforms are studied on the basis of scientific-theoretical and empirical approaches. The main conclusion of the article is that an effective legal regulatory framework and stable interstate cooperation relations are important strategic tools for attracting foreign investment. Therefore, legal agreements, economic memorandums of understanding and mechanisms ensuring political stability between countries that improve the investment climate are considered not only a factor of economic growth, but also a factor of strengthening the geoeconomic position.</p> Khodjaev Jamshid Abdukhakimovich Copyright (c) 2025 Khodjaev Jamshid Abdukhakimovich https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/944 Thu, 12 Jun 2025 06:29:58 +0000 Improving The Efficiency of Investment Activities of Insurance Companies As A Guarantee of Their Financial Stability https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/945 <p>Insurance companies play a vital role in global economic development by mobilizing financial resources and investing in various sectors. Their financial stability significantly impacts the broader investment environment. In Uzbekistan, enhancing the efficiency of insurance companies’ investment activities has become crucial to strengthening their contribution to national economic growth and financial resilience. Despite strategic intentions, there is limited methodological guidance and systemic regulatory support for optimizing investment activities and ensuring financial stability in the insurance sector. This study aims to improve the methodology for assessing the efficiency of insurance companies' investment activities and propose scientifically grounded and practical recommendations to enhance their financial stability. The research reveals that Uzbekistan's insurance companies increasingly rely on bank deposits and securities, with a notable diversification of investment directions. However, imbalances in insurance portfolios and underutilized financial reserves persist. The volume of investments in real estate and loans grew significantly in recent years, while reliance on authorized capital investments declined. The paper integrates theoretical insights, actuarial calculations, and empirical data to build a classification of internal and external factors influencing investment potential. It also introduces a framework for the effective monitoring and risk assessment of insurance companies. The findings underscore the need for regulatory reform, development of national investment strategies, and the introduction of international rating standards to elevate the financial sustainability of insurers. Strengthening investment infrastructure and promoting transparent governance will ultimately ensure a stable insurance sector capable of driving economic modernization in Uzbekistan.</p> Babaeva N.M Copyright (c) 2025 Babaeva N.M https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/945 Sun, 15 Jun 2025 11:14:51 +0000 Challenges to Agritourism Development in Uzbekistan https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/946 <p>This research examines the evolution of agritourism in Uzbekistan by evaluating the preferences, expectations, and satisfaction levels of tourists based on data gathered from 103 respondents. The study used a multilayer perceptron neural network and a polynomial logistic regression model to identify the primary factors affecting visitors' propensity to visit agritourism sites and their satisfaction with price and services. The findings indicate that specific attributes—such as the presence of dairy and vegetable production, picturesque mountainous or riverside settings, internet connectivity, recreational facilities, and skilled service personnel—substantially increase both the likelihood of tourist participation and their readiness to pay elevated service fees. The research highlights agritourism's capacity to promote socio-economic advancement in rural regions and provides specific policy suggestions for the sector's sustainable development. The study establishes a basis for strategic agritourism planning in Uzbekistan by combining scientific methodologies with empirical tourism data.</p> Aktamov Olimjon Abdugani ugli Copyright (c) 2025 Aktamov Olimjon Abdugani ugli https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/946 Sun, 15 Jun 2025 11:20:06 +0000 The Role of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) in Determining the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) (Analytical research) https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/947 <p>Many researchers and learners could not differentiate between the capital asset pricing model and the weighted average cost of capital. This prompted the researcher to shed light on and explain the role played by the capital asset pricing model in constructing and calculating the cost of capital according to the weighted average. The research also discussed that the pricing model extracts a percentage and not a real value, which surprises most followers because the model is called a pricing model and not a pricing ratio. But the truth is that the pricing model extracts the required return ratio, which is included in pricing the common stock according to the Jordan model. When pricing, the transaction costs for trading the stock will be calculated, and these costs are included in calculating the cost of capital. Accordingly, the capital asset pricing model is included in calculating the weighted average cost of capital. The research also reached a set of recommendations, the most important of which is to work on analyzing the financial models in all their details to help other researchers understand and know the method and mechanism by which these models work.</p> Haider Abbas Abdullah Aljanabi Copyright (c) 2025 Haider Abbas Abdullah Aljanabi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/947 Sun, 15 Jun 2025 13:34:36 +0000 Methods for Assessing Performance in the Hotel Business https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/948 <p>Evaluating performance in the hotel sector is a multifaceted process crucial for maintaining competitiveness and achieving sustainable growth. This study explores various methodological frameworks used to assess hotel performance, emphasizing the integration of key performance indicators (KPIs) such as occupancy rate, average daily rate (ADR), revenue per available room (RevPAR), and customer satisfaction metrics.

In particular, the procedure for conducting an audit of export-import operations was studied, and conclusions and proposals for improving these activities were formulated. The study draws attention to the growing importance of foreign trade in Uzbekistan’s economic development, in line with recent presidential decrees aiming to expand the country’s export potential and global trade integration. The analysis highlights the distinctive features of auditing foreign economic activity, including the use of documents that serve both accounting and currency control purposes. The methodology is grounded in the application of theoretical and practical tools such as document analysis, logical reasoning, and risk assessment. The proposed audit program consists of specific stages that ensure comprehensive verification of legal compliance, accuracy of financial records, and assessment of internal control systems related to export and import operations. Special emphasis is placed on documenting audit evidence and forming a reliable opinion on the legality of transactions. The article also recommends dividing the audit plan into two sections — one for export and another for import — due to differences in regulatory and accounting treatment. The practical implementation of this methodology is intended to improve audit quality, enhance transparency, and ensure compliance with international auditing standards in the context of Uzbekistan’s evolving trade and financial environment..</p> Khujamuradova Surayyo Ibragimovna Copyright (c) 2025 Khujamuradova Surayyo Ibragimovna https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/943 Wed, 18 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Improving Methodological Approaches to Assessing The Effectiveness of E-Commerce in The Service Sector https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/951 <p>This article explores the improvement of methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of e-commerce in the service sector, with a focus on optimizing business processes, enhancing competitiveness, and supporting strategic decision-making.

Drawing upon a comprehensive review of international best practices and an in-depth analysis of Uzbekistan's evolving financial landscape, the study identifies key strengths, persistent vulnerabilities, and significant analytical gaps. While Uzbekistan has demonstrated robust economic growth and implemented substantial financial sector reforms, the rapid expansion of credit, the dominance of state-owned banks, and limitations in data accessibility pose challenges to comprehensive financial stability assessment. The analysis highlights that rapid economic growth, while positive, can concurrently introduce complex financial stability risks if analytical and regulatory frameworks do not evolve commensurately. Furthermore, the interplay between micro-level vulnerabilities and macro-financial stability is emphasized, underscoring the need for an integrated approach.</p> Fazilat Abdullaeva Copyright (c) 2025 Fazilat Abdullaeva https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/952 Sat, 21 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000 State of Wholesale Trade Turnover and Problems in The Development of Wholesale Trade Enterprises in Uzbekistan https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/953 <p>Wholesale trade plays a pivotal role in the functioning of national economies, particularly in ensuring the continuous flow of goods and stabilizing regional markets.

Using a mixed-method approach that includes comparative policy analysis, statistical trend evaluation, and a study of legislative frameworks, the research identifies the key benefits and structural limitations of the turnover tax regime. Results indicate that while turnover tax has simplified compliance and encouraged formalization, its declining share in state revenues raises concerns about long-term fiscal sustainability.</p> Abdullayev Dilmurod Aliyar o‘g‘li Copyright (c) 2025 Abdullayev Dilmurod Aliyar o‘g‘li https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/958 Thu, 26 Jun 2025 22:58:04 +0000 Organization of Accounting for Expenses and Income in Small Businesses https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/959 <p>Small businesses play a pivotal role in Uzbekistan’s economy by fostering employment, expanding entrepreneurial activities, and enhancing local income generation. As such, the financial sustainability of these enterprises heavily relies on transparent and accurate accounting practices. This paper examines the organization of accounting for expenses and income in small businesses, with a focus on the service sector in the Namangan region. Using comparative, economic-statistical, and document analysis methods, the study explores how proper classification of expenses, income recognition, and real-time reporting can improve decision-making and fiscal discipline. Findings reveal that over 2020–2024, the service sector in Namangan demonstrated substantial growth—total service volume increased almost fivefold—driven by expansion in accommodation, education, trade, and transport services. The application of national (BHMS) and international (IFRS for SMEs) standards remains inconsistent, underscoring the need for harmonization and capacity building. Regional disparities in service income and expense composition also reflect challenges in cost control and tax reporting. The study proposes modernizing accounting practices through automation, segmented reporting by service type, and enhanced audit controls. These measures can strengthen the investment climate, improve tax transparency, and support broader economic development objectives. Ultimately, this work contributes to a better understanding of how accounting reforms can boost the operational efficiency of small enterprises in emerging economies</p> Isomuxamedov Akbarjon Boxodir o‘g‘li Copyright (c) 2025 Isomuxamedov Akbarjon Boxodir o‘g‘li https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/959 Thu, 26 Jun 2025 23:00:40 +0000 Enhancing The Mechanisms for Assessing Management Performance Through The Integration of Digital Technologies (A Case Study of The Karshi District Administration) https://cajitmf.centralasianstudies.org/index.php/CAJITMF/article/view/960 <p>The integration of digital technologies into public administration is reshaping traditional performance evaluation mechanisms, particularly in the context of managerial staff efficiency.
