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 problem of the development of monotowns is one of the most urgent. The purpose of the article is to propose indicators for the development of monotowns in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The article applied the method of system analysis, which made it possible to identify additional indicators of the development of monotowns. The experience of foreign countries in the revival of monotowns is analyzed. A very fruitful and innovative approach to the revival of monotowns was applied in the Netherlands in the single-industry town of Helmond, where a Volvo plant was built, which led to a construction boom. To solve the problem of the development of monotowns, we need our own approach, which involves assessing the development potential of monotowns. This article discusses the main indicators of the development of monotowns in the Republic of Kazakhstan, proposed by various authors. Statistical indicators of the development of monotowns are given. A system of indicators characterizing the development potential of single-industry monotowns of the Republic of Kazakhstan is proposed. Suggestions for the development of monotowns of the Republic of Kazakhstan are given.
