Abstract:
Social infrastructure can influence the
creation of comfortable conditions for society and a
sustainable living environment in the planning of an urban
area. This article examines the current state of the social
infrastructure of the city of Astana using extensive research
and the results of sociological research in administrative
districts. The article touches upon the process of the
formation of social infrastructure in the process of
historical development. Currently, the social infrastructure
has the power to develop the urban area, improving the
living conditions of the population. The data from the
social survey shows that the social infrastructure at the
district and local levels affects the living conditions of
residents. Social infrastructure planning is a process that
includes consideration of the existing transport links,
buildings and structures, infrastructure investments, and
social problems in a complementary way. This article
emphasizes the importance of regional features.
Considering these features can play a big role in improving
the quality of public services and maintaining the
well-being and economic prosperity of the population. The
development of the city, the economy, and its social
infrastructure contribute to the influx of human resources,
which determines a socially-oriented approach to planning.
The study of the urban area allows us to see the importance
of taking regional features into consideration. Based on
scientific research, directions for the development of the
social infrastructure of Astana are presented.
