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

This article deals with the sustainable development of rural tourism based on geotourism. Geotourism makes it possible to preserve geological and geomorphological features and use them effectively for tourism. In the Aktobe Oblast administrative region, these features are effectively used for the development of rural tourism. Geological and geomorphological features in the region are not protected by the state, so it is important for the future development of geotourism and rural tourism to protect them. In order to effectively evaluate the development of rural tourism and geotourism, the Delphi method was applied and a SWOT analysis was conducted. With the SWOT analysis, the strengths and weaknesses of geotourism and rural tourism of the Aktobe Oblast are assessed.
