Abstract

In Kazakhstan, the problem of the development of monotowns is one of the most urgent. The purpose of the article is to propose indicators for the development of monotowns in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The article applied the method of system analysis, which made it possible to identify additional indicators of the development of monotowns. The experience of foreign countries in the revival of monotowns is analyzed. A very fruitful and innovative approach to the revival of monotowns was applied in the Netherlands in the single-industry town of Helmond, where a Volvo plant was built, which led to a construction boom. To solve the problem of the development of monotowns, we need our own approach, which involves assessing the development potential of monotowns. This article discusses the main indicators of the development of monotowns in the Republic of Kazakhstan, proposed by various authors. Statistical indicators of the development of monotowns are given. A system of indicators characterizing the development potential of single-industry monotowns of the Republic of Kazakhstan is proposed. Suggestions for the development of monotowns of the Republic of Kazakhstan are given.
