Abstract

Geographical names are formed and developed depending on the daily life, everyday life, culture and history of a person in certain physical and geographical conditions. Information about the nature and economy of the earth is stored in the language as the name of this geographical object, which serves as a spatial orientation in the daily life and activities of people. In connection with the development of society, these toponyms are updated and constantly updated.
The article provides a brief summary of the toponyms of the Ulytau region from a historical and geographical point of view, as well as a comparative analysis of studies conducted in the years after our country gained independence. Modern problems of geoinformation research of the studied region are also considered. The purpose of the article is to consider the dynamics of changes in geographical names of the Ulytau region using various resources, a comparison method. As you know, toponyms in the region of Kazakhstan are divided into two large groups. Some of them are the names of large geographical objects, and the second group are the names of small objects, i.e. macrotoponyms and microtoponyms. Among the toponyms of the Ulytau region, which received a new name of the region, which is part of the region of Central Kazakhstan, there are numerically more microtoponyms. During the analysis of geoinformation research on the region, we learn the dynamics of changes in toponyms from another language in the years after gaining sovereignty, how well historical names are preserved and which geographical names still need to be changed.
