Project Description
TEAM
This interdisciplinary project includes professors of anthropology, archeology, computer modeling, geographic information sciences, geoinformation, history, religious studies, remote sensing, and spatial imagery.
PARTNERS
Hosted by Nazarbayev University, the project is led by the Department of History, Philosophy and Religious Studies at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (team below), in cooperation with the School of Engineering. Its partners are the Kazakh Space Agency, “Garysh Sapary,” Kazakh National Geographical Society, National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and A. Kh. Margulan Archeological Institute.
OBJECTIVES
This online thematic atlas will provide information on 12 sites that have a historical, cultural, and religious significance to Kazakhstan. It will assist with the development of tourism, and become a reference tool to decision-makers.
METHODOLOGY
Project participants will develop an interdisciplinary methodology to collect, manage, and display data from fieldwork, archival research, GIS surveys, and the KazEOSat satellite.
EXPECTED RESULTS
The team will publish its results in peer-reviewed and high-impact journals. The articles, meetings, and conferences the team has scheduled will strengthen Kazakhstan’s leadership in the spatial humanities in Central Asia.
