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 research is aimed to examine the sustainability of Almaty city as a largest city in the Central Asia. The literature review revealed lack of methodology for city sustainability assessment in developing countries. Proposed methodology of Denevizyuk was explored to calculate the Sustainable City Index for Almaty and demonstrate it's dynamics in last 9 years. As expected, environmental issues are becoming worse while economic and social parameters have positive trends and smooth out the final index growth.
