This article analyzes the theoretical, conceptual, and methodological foundations of studying the Uzbek diaspora in Turkey through a comprehensive and integrative approach. The study reinterprets the phenomenon of diaspora within both classical and contemporary scientific paradigms, synthesizing key concepts such as transnationalism, acculturation, social integration, social capital, and identity transformation within a unified analytical framework. The literature review indicates that although diaspora studies have significantly developed globally, the Uzbek diaspora in Turkey remains insufficiently explored through empirically grounded, multi-level, and methodologically integrated approaches. Therefore, this study proposes a conceptual and methodological model of diaspora formation based on a mixed-methods design. The proposed model conceptualizes diaspora processes as a dynamic system of interrelated macro (structural factors), mezo (social networks), and micro (individual level) dimensions. The findings demonstrate that the level of diaspora integration is directly associated with the intensity of transnational ties, the quality of social capital, and the institutional environment.

The article investigates the structural and functional role of the Tashkent agglomeration as the principal driver of tourism market formation and development in Uzbekistan. By integrating agglomeration theory, central place theory, and tourism destination competitiveness frameworks, the study constructs a multi-level analytical model that positions the capital agglomeration as simultaneously a gateway node, an internal destination, and a spatial organizer of national tourism flows. The research draws on statistical data from the State Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan on Tourism Development, UNWTO regional reports, and the National Statistics Committee of Uzbekistan for the period 2017–2024. The analysis reveals that the Tashkent agglomeration concentrates approximately 64% of inbound international tourist arrivals, over 80% of licensed tourism enterprise activity, and 70% of national hotel accommodation capacity, confirming its primate role in the national tourism system.

This article discusses the importance of life as the most precious gift for a person, that a person lives only once in this mortal world, that it is important to be kind to oneself and others in order to make a good name for oneself.

In Islam, life and death are interpreted as important stages of human existence.

Death is not the end, but a stage of transition to a new - eternal life. Therefore, life and death in Islam are inextricably linked, encouraging a person to goodness and the right path. In a hadith narrated by Thabit ibn Zahhak, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever kills himself with something in this world, he will be punished with the same thing on the Day of Judgment.” (Narrated by Imam Bukhari)
