Grouping of the Turkistan Area Regions based on a Complex Evaluation of Demographic Processes, Indices of Health, Medication Provision, and Social-economic Development of the Territory
Abstract
The research objective was to elaborate methodological approaches to group the Turkistan regions
through a complex evaluation of their demographic situation, public health, healthcare system, and
social-economic development. The regions were grouped by normalizing a set of indices with
various dimensions and vectors. The indices used were budget expenses per capita, unemployment
rate, birth rate, death rate, income per capita, availability of pharmacies, provision with medical
and pharmaceutical personnel, etc. During the studied period, the Turkistan area regions showed
varied normalized values. The differences amounted to 1.2 times by normalized values and up to 2.4
times by complex values, which is due to the various developmentlevels, multi-faceted character and
complex spatial hierarchy of the Turkistan area regions. The research showed the normalizing
method to be very effective for the regional and municipal statistical service as they have
consolidated medical-statistical tables for the whole area and individual regions.
