Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The preservation and study of cultural and historical heritage is a multidimensional issue, encompassing aspects of sociology, politics, economics, and environmental science. This research focuses on the Bespakyr Mazar, a significant cultural heritage site in Northern Kazakhstan, and presents a digital approach to assessing its structural degradation. The study explores the historical significance of mazars, their role in Kazakh culture, and their function in preserving ancestral memory. A methodology for assessing the deterioration of historical structures using digital technologies is proposed. This approach integrates three-dimensional (3D) modeling, comparative analysis of past and present photographic evidence, and metrological instruments. The proposed method enables precise monitoring of wear and structural damage over time, offering an effective solution for heritage conservation efforts. Furthermore, the study advocates for immersive digital environments that allow for interactive exploration of cultural heritage sites, making them accessible to researchers, educators, and the general public.
