The results of my sociological research are the basic part of my Ph.D. dissertation on the theme "The Forming, developing and Transformation of Ethno-cultural Identity of Koreans of Uzbekistan", defended December 15, 2011 (Institute of History, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan).
The sociological research investigated in 2009-2010 in Tashkent city and Tashkent region: villages "Dustlik" (former collective farm "Polititdel"), "Gulistan" (former collective farm "Pravda"), "Ahmad Yassavi" (former collective farm "Sverdlov") "Yongochkoli" (former collective farm "Kim Pen Khva") that have non-official names of "Korean collective farms" with a significant number of the ethnic Korean population. Thus, the choice of this area for the research is because of the fact that the majority of Koreans of Uzbekistan live in Tashkent city and Tashkent region (approx. 120 thousand people of 147,7 thousand people of all Korean population of Uzbekistan [1]).
In the frame of my sociological research 500 Koreans of Uzbekistan had been interrogated by questionnaire poll. All respondents was divided into 3 groups: young-aged group (up to 30 years old) - 180 persons, middle-aged group (31-55 years old) - 173 persons, old-aged group (56 years old and above) - 147 persons. The minimum age of the respondents is 14 years old and the maximum is 87 years old. The average age of respondents is 43 years old.
The questionnaire form consists of the following sections:
- language situation;
- the traditional ceremonies;
- material culture;
- migratory expectancies;
- religion;
- ethnic identity;
- family and marital relationships;
- the impact of the mass media;
- relations with Koreans of South Korea;
- civil identity.
Total is 60 questions.
Gender structure of total number of respondents (500 persons): 185 persons (37%) - the men and 315 persons (63%) - women.
The overwhelming majority of respondents (425 persons or 85% of all respondents) were born in Uzbekistan, 39 persons (7.8%) were born in Russia, 20 persons (4%) - in Kazakhstan. It is worth noting, the respondents who were born outside of Uzbekistan, a large part of their life have lived in Uzbekistan.
The largest number of respondents lives in Tashkent city - 141 persons (28.2% of all respondents). 94 persons (18.8%) live in the village "Ahmad Yassavi", 90 persons (18%) live in the village "Yongochkoli". 86 persons (17,2%) live in the village "Dustlik", 78 persons (15,6 %) live in the village "Gulistan". A few number of respondents lives in other localities of Uzbekistan.
141 persons (28,2%) have a higher education, 43 persons (8.6%) have an incomplete higher education, 97 persons (19.4%) have a specialized secondary education, 185 persons (37%) have a secondary education, 25 persons (5% ) have a lower secondary education, 1 person (0,2%) hasn't any education and 8 persons (1,6%) haven't given any answer.
In addition to questionnaire poll 21 residents of the villages "Dustlik" and "Ahmad Yassavi" had been interviewed by method of in-depth interviews
[1] Total population of ethnic Koreans of Uzbekistan is given on materials of State Committee of Statistics of Uzbekistan, 2008.

Question 2: 'What languages do you know?'
The absence of the column "The overall percentage" in the poll tables indicates
that the question provides for several response options simultaneously.
Consequently, the total percentage of all responses may not make 100%.
