Feasibility Study: Developing a Mobile Application for Air Quality Information in Kyrgyzstan: Analysis, Assessment, and Recommendations

This study focuses on analyzing existing practices and technological solutions for air quality monitoring, with a special emphasis on the potential for developing a mobile application for Kyrgyzstan. The paper examines current methods of disseminating air quality information, provides an overview and comparative analysis of existing mobile applications both in Central Asia and globally. The study also includes an assessment of the technical feasibility of developing such an application for Kyrgyzstan and offers recommendations for its implementation. The research results indicate a significant potential for mobile applications to raise public awareness about air quality and stimulate actions to improve the environmental situation.

The study was conducted by PA "MoveGreen" with the support of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as part of the project "Nature-based Solutions for COVID-19 Recovery and Urban Air Pollution Resilience in the Western Balkans and Central Asia 2022-2025," funded by the UN Development Account.

The research is intended for government agencies responsible for environmental monitoring and policy development in the field of environmental protection, environmental organizations and researchers studying air quality and developing measures to improve it, and the general public, including activists, journalists, and citizens who want to receive reliable information about air quality and ways to improve it.
