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

Kazakhstan is a country rich in historical heritage, cultural values, traditions and customs. Since the Republic of Kazakhstan's formation as a sovereign state, preserving its historical and cultural heritage has become one of the country's primary state objectives. A number of state programs aimed at ensuring the preservation of historical and cultural heritage have been adopted in the country. For example, the state program «cultural heritage» is a set of measures that form a whole system for the discovery of new historical and cultural monuments, restoration and reconstruction of important historical and cultural objects, and the study of the country's cultural heritage. Within the framework of the program, a large-scale inventory of domestic historical and cultural monuments was conducted, resulting in the approval of state lists comprising 218 national monuments and 11,277 local monuments of culture. The UNESCO World Heritage list includes the mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi and petroglyphs of the Tamgaly archaeological landscape, as well as the Natural Heritage Site «Saryarka-steppes and lakes of Northern Kazakhstan». The norms of law regulating land for historical and cultural purposes regulate the relations of Use and protection of land for historical and cultural purposes as a natural resource in the Republic of Kazakhstan, the rational use of land, and the exercise of the rights and legitimate interests of subjects of land relations. The purpose of the study is to identify the legal aspects of official recognition, rational use, and protection of objects of historical and cultural heritage.
