The Khorezm region, located in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River, represents one of Central Asia’s most ancient and culturally significant oasis landscapes. For millennia, its agricultural productivity has been sustained by a complex system of irrigation canals that transform the arid desert environment into a patchwork of fertile land. However, over the past century, intensive Soviet-era agricultural expansion, coupled with the ecological catastrophe of the Aral Sea basin, has placed immense pressure on the region’s natural resources. Today, the oasis faces critical challenges: widespread soil salinization, land degradation, water scarcity, and the progressive desertification of surrounding territories. Understanding the dynamics of these oasis landscapes—where human activity and natural processes are inextricably linked—has therefore become a pressing scientific and practical task. In recent decades, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing technologies have emerged as indispensable tools for studying such complex environments. GIS offers a powerful framework for integrating multi-temporal satellite imagery, hydrological data, soil maps, and field observations, enabling researchers to monitor land-use changes, assess degradation trends, and model the interactions between the irrigated zone and the desert hinterland. When applied to Khorezm, these technologies hold great promise for supporting sustainable land management and water resource planning in a region where traditional field-based surveys are often labor-intensive and spatially limited. Nevertheless, the application of GIS technologies to the Khorezm oasis is not without significant methodological and practical difficulties. The region’s intricate landscape—characterized by a fine-scale mosaic of fields, canals, abandoned lands, and natural tugai vegetation—poses unique challenges for accurate spatial analysis. Issues such as the heterogeneity of available data, the difficulty of distinguishing natural degradation from anthropogenic impacts using spectral indices, the fuzzy boundaries between oasis and desert, and the insufficient integration of groundwater dynamics into GIS models often constrain the reliability and interpretability of results. Addressing these issues is critical, as their oversight can lead to incomplete assessments and misguided policy recommendations. This paper examines these key issues in the study of Khorezm’s oasis landscapes using GIS technologies. By identifying and analyzing the methodological bottlenecks specific to the region, it aims to contribute to more robust approaches for landscape monitoring and to support informed decision-making for the sustainable future of the Khorezm oasis.
