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

In Kazakhstan, the implementation of individual Smart City initiatives began more than ten years ago. Comprehensive goal setting was carried out in 2017 as part of the Digital Kazakhstan state program, and a comparative rating for the cities is being calculated from 2020. The article describes major factors that influence stakeholders' expectations and limitations associated with the unbalanced penetration of Smart City technologies. The article substantiates the need to adjust the national policy and change priorities for successful Smart City projects.
