Abstract:

This research project deals with the issue of housing construction of the Kazakh people in the ХІХ century. It is based on the political, economic and social factors that caused the Kazakh people to build permanent housing and move to a sedentary lifestyle. The winter cottages of the Kazakh people are considered as a form of residential construction. Historical evidence is provided that refutes the one-sided view of Russian colonizers and Soviet historians that "Kazakhs are accustomed only to a nomadic way of life". The research work is intended for a comprehensive study based on archaeological data about residential buildings built in the steppe region in the ХІХ century. In addition, to the issues of considering the types of housing construction, local building materials used in building houses, taking into account the natural climatic conditions in housing construction, the succession of generations is revealed by the discovery of sakh stands under the ruined barns of Kazakhs.

The research work is dedicated to the currently relevant issue of using the effective aspects of housing construction, which the communities that lived in the society in the past, left as a legacy to today's generations. As a result of the research, a sketch of a residential house, a barn, a model of a shed that can be built in villages, winter camps where herdsmen live, and fences are proposed.

The purpose of the study: By studying the historical data and archeological researches about the construction of houses in the Kazakh steppe in the ХІХ century, it is proven that the Kazakhs formed their own house-building culture, taking into account the natural-climate, daily lifestyle and household conditions in building winter houses.
