Information about the life and activities of the local scholars: Mayusi, Khandizagi was collected from oral history materials, sources, and from their books, and an electronic form was prepared.

The 2D and 3D photos collected during the project trip in Surkhandarya region were assembled and the collected electronic data were entered into the platform database.

As part of the project, archival materials, primary sources, the National Archives of Uzbekistan, the Cultural Heritage Agency under the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Fundamental Library of Uzbekistan, the Archaeological Museum of Surondarya Region from the National Library of Uzbekistan named after Alisher Navoi, and scientific materials from the Regional Library named after Adib Sabir Termizi were collected.

The scientific materials related to the life and spiritual legacy of the scholars of Surkhandarya region: Hakim Termizi, Iso Termizi, Varroq Termizi, Samandar Termizi, Maulona Zahid, Sufi Olloyor, Alauddin Attar, and their spiritual heritage have been collected and the electronic version has been added to the platform.

Within the framework of the grant, scientific materials collected on 23 objects were translated into Russian and English and placed on the platform. Within the scope of the grant, a platform-friendly analysis of the scientific materials collected on the pre-Islamic archeological and architectural monuments related to the Islamic period was carried out.

Scientific articles were published within the framework of the grant. Two maps of Surkhandarya shrines have been prepared.

Within the framework of the grant, on the basis of the decision of the Scientific and Technical Council of the National University of Uzbekistan No. 9 (September 24, 2021), the monographs "History of shrines of Surkhandarya region" and "History of shrines in the southern regions of Uzbekistan and their role in the life of the local population" were prepared and published.

Image work was done to create the WEB page of the platform. Russian and English versions of the data have been added to the database. Locations of banks, hospitals, railway stations, hotels, restaurants and markets located near each object were placed, and a mobile application of the platform was developed.

The "i-Turism" platform on the historical and ethnocultural resources of the Surkhan oasis, which presents the prepared materials, was completed in 3 stages and the following results were achieved.

• a database was formed based on the collected data

• Prepared Mobile application using database

• 3D VR of each object is generated

An electronic database of historical and ethnocultural sources of the Surkhan oasis was created on the web page and turned into a database open to all. This, in turn, provides services for tourists and pilgrims in Uzbek, Russian, and English languages. In addition, this web page is constantly being updated and filled with new information.

The mobile application has the ability to work in offline mode. Through the mobile application, tourists and visitors can get information about all our facilities and can use internet traffic only for interactive services (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=appinventor.ai_mirzamatzoda777.Surxon_turizm).

A 3D VR of each object was generated. Through this system, tourists and pilgrims can see objects in 3D. This system is one of the most popular and convenient technologies of the present century, and is often used in making 3D models of pilgrimage tourism, large cities, memorial structures and historical sites. We also used this technology to improve the usability and capabilities of our platform. This will greatly help the platform's popularity.

Within the framework of the project, publish international scientific works based on WoS and Scopus
