REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF SMALL BUSINESS IN SIRDARYA REGION

Abstract

This article provides a scientific analysis of the regional distribution of small business in Sirdarya Region, its geographical characteristics, and economic significance. The study focuses on examining the location of small business entities across the districts of the region, their sectoral structure, regional disparities in development, and the factors contributing to these differences. The results of the analysis indicate that small businesses in the region are unevenly distributed geographically — the majority of them are concentrated in the central areas, particularly in Gulistan and Yangiyer cities, while business activity remains significantly lower in some border and rural districts. The article analyzes the causes of these disparities and proposes scientifically grounded recommendations for ensuring balanced regional development.
