OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NEUROARCHITECTURE PRINCIPLES IN UZBEKISTAN’S URBAN PLANNING
Keywords:
Neuroarchitecture, urban environment, human psychology, urban design, cultural heritage, sustainable development.Abstract
This article is devoted to analysing the opportunities for introducing neuroarchitecture principles into the practice of urban planning in Uzbekistan. The scientific relevance of the research lies in the fact that consideration of human psychological well-being and the emotional impact of the urban environment has become one of the key directions in global urban planning theory in the 20th–21st centuries. The article evaluates both contemporary and historical districts of major cities such as Tashkent, Samarkand, and Bukhara on the basis of empirical observations and stratified surveys. The methodological framework of the study includes comparative analysis, correlation of international standards (WELL Building Standard, ISO 9241-210) with national regulations, sociological surveys, and statistical analysis. A five-stage conceptual model adapted to the context of Uzbekistan was developed, encompassing scientific-analytical research, normative-legal integration, pilot projects, a monitoring system, and large-scale implementation. The results of the study substantiate the theoretical and practical effectiveness of this approach.
