Abstract:
In recent years, there has been growing attention to the preservation of sacred sites and understanding
their significance within the cultural landscape of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This renewed interest
is driven by a revival of national historical and cultural values. The study is relevant since sacred
spaces affect the formation of objective historical memory, which is an important component of the
national identity. This, in turn, contributes to the consolidation of the people and ensures the national
security of the state. The article aims to propose measures (recommendations) to improve legal
regulation and preserve the sacred places of the cultural landscape of Kazakhstan. To achieve these
objectives, the authors employed methods of theoretical generalization, structural-logical analysis,
and synthesis, as well as the method of expert survey. The paper identifies the main problems in the
implementation of legal norms for the conservation of cultural landscapes and suggests potential
solutions to overcome these challenges. It also outlines measures to increase public participation in
the preservation of the cultural landscape. This study concludes that it is necessary to popularize
knowledge about the specific features of sacred places in a particular region, develop a program for
the preservation of the cultural landscape, and advise residents on the methods and means of
preserving sacred places.
