The Republic of Uzbekistan,a doubly landlocked nation in the heart of
Central Asia, boasts a territory of significant geographical and geopolitical importance.
Encompassing approximately 448,978 square kilometers, it is characterized by a
remarkably diverse topography, which includes vast arid deserts, fertile river valleys,
and formidable mountain ranges. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the
territorial and administrative organization of Uzbekistan, delineating its twelve
primary administrative divisions, one autonomous republic, and the capital city. It
explores how the nation's physical geography—from the Kyzyl Kum Desert to the
Fergana Valley—has historically influenced and continues to shape its economic
activities, settlement patterns, and administrative governance. The intricate system of
regions (viloyats), districts (tumans), and municipalities forms the backbone of the
country's political and administrative machinery, ensuring the implementation of state
policies and the delivery of public services across its varied landscape.
