Deflation processes and their role in desertification of the southern Pre-Balkhash deserts
Issanova, Gulnura; Abuduwaili, Jilili; Semenov, Oleg
Deflation processes are important in arid environ
ments such as deserts. The deserts of Kazakhstan mostly cover
lowlands and extend from the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea
to the piedmonts of the Tien-Shan Mountain. Desert areas are
also major source areas of dust/sand storm activities. We
considered deflation processes in the southern Pre-Balkhash
deserts. In Kazakhstan, desertification processes due to wind
erosion in the form of dust/sand storms were observed in
semi-desert and desert landscapes. During analysis of numer
ous long-term meteorological data and cartographic materials,
we revealed the sand movement directions which allow pre
diction of future potential sand movement patterns or process
es in southern Pre-Balkhash deserts. The Taukum, Moiynkum
deserts, Ili river deltas and valleys, and southern coastal of
Lake Balkhash are most prone to dust/sand storms. The most
frequent storms were observed in the Bakanas weather station
(Ile river valley). Sand/dust transport occurs mainly in the
east, south-east north-east direction in the southern Pre-
Balkhash deserts. The high amount of sand transportation
was observed at the Kuigan weather station; low amounts
were encountered at the Naimansuiek weather station. The
amount of airborne sand/dust varies in accordance with the
general and local meteorological features, the complexity of
relief forms, soil conditions and properties, lithology, and
various contributions of the human activities. Thus, our study
on deflation processes in the southern Pre-Balkhash deserts has great importance towards aiding in the prediction and
monitoring of dust/sand storms and movement patterns.

The Republic of Kazakhstan Budget System Development and the Increase of its Transparency
Issatayeva, Kuralay; Adambekova, Ainagul
The article discusses the Republic of Kazakhstan'sbudget system
development and the increase of its transparency compared with other
countries. The history of the budget legislation for the Republic of
Kazakhstan as an independent state began with the Declaration of State
Sovereignty and the Law “On the Budget System” dated 17 December
1991, the first document, which modeled the principles of the budgetary
system and budgetary process of a sovereign republic by law. Using the
Republic of Kazakhstan as an example, the budget system development
and ways to improve its efficiency and transparencywere analyzed in this
study. More openness and transparency of the budget system becomes
extremely urgent task in connection with all the greater focus of public
finances to address specific tasks to achieve the objectives of social and
economic development. The paper deals with the openness of the budget
of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In 2012, it stepped out of the category of
the countries that provide minimal information on the budget. The aim of
this study is to investigate the causes of the low transparency of the
budget in Kazakhstan that in 2012 the International Budget Partnership
(IBP) rated 48 (above the average of the countries) and to make
suggestions to improve the transparency of the budget, which will lead to
the improvement of living standards, reduction of corruption and
improvement of the efficiency of budget spending

Management of wood resources: A dilemma between conservation and livelihoods in a rural district in the Aral region
Matsui, Kayo; Akhapov, Yerlan; Kussainova, Maira; Funakawa, Shinya
This study focused on black saxaul (Haloxylon aphyllum) and tamarisk (Tamarix hispida), which are economically and environmentally important trees in one of the most arid parts of the Aral region. Black saxaul is the main local fuelwood species. However, its extraction was banned after it became critically endangered in the 1990s. Planting this species is now regarded as essential for rehabilitating the Aralkum Desert in light of the Aral Sea crisis. Tamarisk is another fuelwood species that supports local livelihoods. We administered questionnaires among residents in Karateren district and conducted interviews with some residents and with policymakers responsible for regulating forest management. Thefindings revealed a significantly higher preference for black saxaul than for tamarisk among residents, with a high potential demand for the former. Moreover, some residents observed a decrease in tamarisk biomass, which could accelerate as a result of constant population growth in the study district. We recommend conducting an assessment of logging sites and establishing a feedback system involving local communities to develop risk management that can address future shortages in wood supplies and over logging. Political decision making should also consider the uneven preferences of residents of this region for fuelwood species.

Saline Soils and Identification of Salt Accumulation Provinces in Kazakhstan
Issanova, G.T.; Abuduwaili, J.; Mamutov, Zh.U.; Kaldybaev, A.A.; Saparov, G.A.; Bazarbaeva, T.A.
Saline soils are widespread in the southern and central parts of Kazakhstan. In these arid areas, the
annual precipitation is 100–150 mm, while the evaporation exceeds the precipitation. The soils in these areas
are medium and highly saline. In the framework of this study, numerous cartographic materials pertaining to
the saline soils of Kazakhstan and Central Asia havebeen reviewed and researched. Four soil–halo–geochemical salt accumulation provinces have been identified in Kazakhstan on the basis of generalization and
analysis of the available materials. The provinces differfrom each other by their genesis, composition, and
salt transportation patterns. ArcMap software was used as the main tool for the analysis of the soil–halo–geochemical provinces and the production of a salt accumulation map of Kazakhstan. The research of the salt
accumulation geochemistry in the soils, mineral rocks, and groundwaters, salt accumulation types, and patterns of soil migration in the biosphere are the basis for the assessment of regions with irrigation activities.
Therefore, the research of the saline soils and salt accumulation processes is of high practical importance
