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

Up-to-date and reliable information is vital for assessing the socio-economic status of the population and effective decision-making. With the help of a spatial information base, social security and living standards data can be integrated to formulate strategic development plans and improve decision-making. This article presents the work on the integration of information about the standard of living and social security of the inhabitants of Kazakhstan with the display of data on the map. GIS tools were used for integration, as the latest technological advances in this field allow the manipulation of large amounts of geographic data and the creation of a spatial environment with socio-economic data. This work includes collecting unstructured data from the Bureau of National Statistics, reformatting the data into a structured database as an attribute-value pair, calculating important living standards indicators such as the real income index, the depth and severity of poverty and the social inequality index, and monitoring the results on the web map to compare regions based on the results obtained. It is also important to note the operation performed for the gridding of table attributes, since it was implemented automatically using the GIS tool. The results of the work are presented for three important indicators of the standard of living and displayed on a map using a heat map to visually show the changes in the indices for each region of Kazakhstan.
