Abstract

This study examines the efficiency of resource potential utilization in Uzbekistan, addressing the knowledge gap in regional resource management under transitional economic conditions. Employing a survey-based methodology with 75 participants and multinomial logistic regression for analysis, the findings highlight that education, regional context, and access to technology significantly influence resource utilization attitudes. Results emphasize regional disparities, technological gaps, and the critical role of education in shaping efficient practices. The study suggests policy implications, including enhanced digitalization, targeted regional investments, and integrating resource management education to foster sustainable resource utilization in Uzbekistan.
