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

The purpose of this article is to assess and compile an integrated map of the hazard degree of geological and geomorphological processes in the Charyn State National Nature Park (SNNP) to ensure visitor safety and protect tourist infrastructure. The study used field methods to determine hazardous geological and geomorphological processes. Based on the collected data, a comparative analysis was performed in office conditions, and a cartographic method was applied using GIS technologies to create thematic maps. The hazard assessment was carried out based on vertical and horizontal dissection, slope steepness and exposure, lithological composition of rocks and functional zones. As a result of the study, a map of the hazard degree of geological and geomorphological processes for the territory of the Charyn SNNP was compiled. Hazardous landslide-talus and erosion processes (lateral and gully erosion) were identified, posing a threat to tourists and hindering the safe development of the SNNP activities.
