ETHNIC ENCLAVES AND DIASPORAS OF KOREANS IN UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

This article presents a detailed study of Korean diasporas and enclaves formed in Uzbekistan, including their adaptation to the host country.  The adaptation of South Koreans to the host country in various emigrant communities has its own characteristics, which are determined by both historical and sociocultural factors.  A detailed analysis of the process of adaptation of Korean communities was carried out, dividing them into local Koreans “Koryo Saram”, who moved during the USSR period and had already practically adapted into society, and Koreans – residents of “Hanguk Saram” living in Uzbekistan after its independence, and recommendations for improvement were developed  conditions for the adaptation of South Koreans and other ethnic groups abroad, which contributes to the creation of a more open and tolerant world community.
