Abstract
This study explores the relationship between urbanization processes and the ecological -geological situation across regions of Uzbekistan. Key indicators include population density, life expectancy, air pollution levels, and urban population. Using statisti cal and spatial approaches, risk and stability indices were developed. The results indicate a strong correlation between environmental pressure and demographic load. The research provides practical insights for regional planning and environmental risk assessment.
