ABSTRACT
This study examines the crucial role of green spaces in Uzbekistan and provides a geographical analysis of the issues involved. Utilizing data from 2017 to 2022, including social media posts, the research adopts a multidimensional approach, integrating urban network theory and ecofeminist perspectives to assess the spatial distribution of green areas. Employing the urban green space ratio formula provides insights into urban green space extent. Emphasizing geography's significance in devising effective green space strategies, the study underscores geographers' potential contributions. Incorporating ecofeminist principles, the study advocates inclusive and equitable environmental protection and management. Findings indicate a decline in green spaces due to environmental concerns and data limitations. Nevertheless, the study offers valuable insights into the historical heritage and current environmental issues, supporting comprehensive monitoring and geographic research for sustainable land management. Prioritizing investment in green spaces is essential for enhancing urban well-being in Uzbekistan and beyond. The study's unique contribution lies in integrating urban network theory, ecofeminism, and empirical analysis, providing novel perspectives to tackle urban green space challenges. Practical implications necessitate policy interventions for ecological balance and healthier urban environments. Social implications involve promoting gender equality and inclusivity in green space initiatives, aligning with global efforts towards sustainable urban development.
