Analysis of the transport infrastructure of Almaty city using GIS-technologies

Abstract

The transport system plays a key role in the development of cities. It has a direct impact on many aspects of city life and infrastructure. An efficient transportation system helps move goods and people faster and cheaper, which contributes to a city's economic growth. A well-developed transport infrastructure can also attract investment and create new employment. The purpose of the study is to research the transport infrastructure of Almaty through the use of geographic information technologies. The use of geographic information technologies to research the transport infrastructure of the city of Almaty is a very promising approach. GIS enables the analysis and visualization of spatial data, which can lead to a deeper understanding of the relationships between transport and urban development. GIS can be used to estimate traffic volumes on different road sections and at different times of the day. This makes it possible to identify areas with the highest load and possible bottlenecks in the transport network. The article presents the results of a social survey among residents of Almaty. Including a social survey among city residents and conducting a SWOT analysis provides a complete picture of the current situation and prospects for the development of the transport network. These methods and analyzes are important tools for improving a city's transportation system and increasing the satisfaction of its residents.
