Abstract: Human economic activity plays a key role in shaping the modern landscape. To maintain high environmental quality, protect nature, and ensure the rational use of natural resources, it is essential to comprehensively consider all types of anthropogenic changes, both direct and indirect. In this regard, the study of ecogeomorphogenesis under conditions of climate change and anthropogenic impact is becoming particularly significant, making it one of the most important tasks for maintaining the sustainable state of the natural environment. In this context, the objective of this study was to investigate ecogeomorphogenesis within the basin of the Zhayyk River, specifically analyzing its current state with regard to anthropogenic influence to better understand the processes of formation and transformation of the ecogeomorphological condition of the study area. The Zhayyk River basin is a complex natural system whose formation and development are determined by the interaction of geomorphological, hydrological, and ecological processes. Under the conditions of a changing climate and increasing anthropogenic impact, significant transformations in the relief, riverbed processes, and hydrological characteristics of the river are being observed. This article examines the current ecogeomorphological state of the Zhayyk River basin. Recommendations are provided for the sustainable management of the river basin’s natural resources, including measures to mitigate negative environmental impacts and develop strategies for adapting to changing climatic conditions.
