Abstract:
This study is devoted to a comprehensive assessment of the impact of the noise factor, formed under conditions of intensive urbanization processes in the city of Samarkand, on public health and the resulting socio-environmental problems. The study includes an analysis of the population dynamics of Samarkand for the period 2010-2025, as well as demographic indicators and the state of urban infrastructure. Within the period 2012-2024, statistical monitoring was carried out for diseases of the auditory organs, nervous system, and cardiovascular system associated with noise exposure. The results obtained showed that in areas with high noise load, morbidity rates-despite certain fluctuations-tend to increase in the long term. The conclusions of the study are of significant importance for the scientific substantiation of biological, environmental, and urban planning measures aimed at reducing noise levels.
