dc.description.abstractAbstract This study investigates the current heating methods, attitudes towards the gasification (switching from coal to natural gas for heating) and related challenges faced by households in Astana, Kazakhstan. Two central research questions guide this study: ‘What factors prevent families from transitioning from coal to gas as the primary fuel source for space heating?’ and ‘How do government policies shape the gasification rates in Astana?’. Utilizing mixed methods, including survey and interviews with key stakeholders, the research identifies significant trends and barriers in the adoption of natural gas for heating. The findings reveal a strong preference for natural gas due to its environmental benefits, convenience, and cost-effectiveness, with many households considering a switch from coal. However, significant obstacles include high upfront costs, technical barriers, and a predominant lack of awareness about government policies on gasification. The study recommends enhancing public awareness of gasification benefits and government support programs, improving gas infrastructure reliability, and updating the payment model to alleviate the financial burden. By addressing these challenges, the government can facilitate a smoother transition to natural gas, improving environmental and public health outcomes in Astana.
