At the stage of development of New Uzbekistan, strengthening civil society institutions and increasing the social activity of the population is defined as a priority task. In particular, in the "Development Strategy of New Uzbekistan," Sh. Mirziyoyev emphasizes that improving the mahalla system and supporting the social activity of citizens is an important direction of state policy[5: 127]. The role of the mahalla in strengthening the spiritual environment in society was also emphasized. In scientific literature, it is scientifically substantiated that civic participation is an important factor in the development of society. In Uzbekistan, the legal status of the mahalla institution is defined by law[8]. However, in existing studies, the mechanism for the formation of the spiritual space of New Uzbekistan through the social activity of the mahalla institution has not been sufficiently analyzed. Therefore, in this article, the following scientific question is formulated: how the forms of manifestation of social activity within the framework of the mahalla institute influence the development of the spiritual space of New Uzbekistan.
The theoretical basis of the research is the concept of civil society. The mahalla institution is one of the main social mechanisms that form social activity and strengthen the spiritual space. Initiatives implemented through the mahalla serve to develop the political and spiritual consciousness of citizens and strengthen the possibilities of supporting social activity. Thus, the mahalla institution serves to form the institutional components of the spiritual space of New Uzbekistan by stimulating social activity. This allows us to interpret the mahalla not only as a territorial unit of government, but also as a social platform for spiritual development.
