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 goal of the study is to evaluate the Kazakhstan’s sustainable ecological tourism possibilities in regard to the involving the communities, financing, involving the stakeholders, and creating awareness. Structural questionnaire was used and quantitative methods such as regression, correlation, and ‘t’ tests were used to analyze the environmental and socio-economic effects of NRM. The results of regression analysis show that financial facilities have a positive impact and can be considered significant along with community involvement, while correlation analysis established the need for clear policies and stakeholders’ engagement in the processes of public sector changes. Specifically, using the ‘t’ test, there was an equal distribution in the interaction between rural and urban instructors and students in matters regarding policy efficiency. Thus, according to the conclusions of the study, it is necessary to develop a sustainable policy for the development of ecological tourism in Kazakhstan, for which norms that cover actors should be established, as well as active promotion should be ensured.
