The implications of government policy and identification of minorities in China
Creators: name: Hickson, Dayna Dione
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The government of the People's Republic of China officially recognizes China as being composed of 56 nationalities . China's 55 minorities only make up 8.8 percent of its total population, while the majority, the Han, compose approximately 91.2 percent (Gladney 1991: 223). This investigation of minorities in China attempts to reveal that the government has adopted special policies for its 55 recognized minorities. The reasons for, and the consequences of minority policy will be addressed, as will the complex relationship that exists between the minorities and the Han majority. Finally, the policies themselves and their utility will be examined in order to ascertain whether the policies have been beneficial and to whom. The methodology used in this investigation consists of participant observation and personal interviews. I travelled to North-East China's Jilin Province, where I conducted ethnographic research. This fieldwork focussed on the Chinese-Korean minority living in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, and is used to put the scholarly literature into perspective. The Korean-Chinese hold a special position, unlike no other nationality in China. Not only are the Korean-Chinese fairly recent immigrants, but their educational levels are believed to be the highest in the nation, considerably higher than national averages (Lee 1986: 3-4, 117). The birthrate of the Korean- Chinese is also highly commended as it is the lowest of any one nationality, including the Han (Gu and Zhao 1994: 19). Thus, although the Korean-Chinese can be used to show the linkages between the literature and fieldwork, one must not forget the special circumstances that they enjoy, which I elaborate upon further in this thesis. Essentially, through examination of the literature and the ethnographic fieldwork I have conducted, several conclusions are put forth in this thesis. First, special policies exist that favour China's 55 minority groups over the Han majority. Second, these policies could have been enacted for several reasons. These include: 1) to allow China to continue along the socialist path; 2) as an attempt to correct past injustices; 3) to increase the overall standard of living of China's citizens; 4) to provide defence against border attack; 5) to reduce minority discontent; 6) to promote a better image of China; 7) to relieve population density problems in urban areas; 8) to allow China to better exploit its natural resources; and 9) to promote national unity, and loyalty and reduce local nationalism and Han chauvinism. Third, these policies benefit both parties, with no one party being totally dependent on the other. Finally, although some authors disagree (Gladney 1991; Mackerras 1994), it will become apparent in this thesis that minority policy in China has been successful for the most part.

description: The specific heat $C$ of the cuprate superconductors La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ and Bi$_{2+y}$Sr$_{2-x-y}$La$_x$CuO$_{6+δ}$ was measured at low temperature (down to $0.5~{\rm K}$), for dopings $p$ close to $p^\star$, the critical doping for the onset of the pseudogap phase. A magnetic field up to $35~{\rm T}$ was applied to suppress superconductivity, giving direct access to the normal state at low temperature, and enabling a determination of $C_e$, the electronic contribution to the normal-state specific heat, at $T \to 0$. In La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ at $x=p = 0.22$, $0.24$ and $0.25$, $C_e / T = 15-16~{\rm mJmol}^{-1}{\rm K}^{-2}$ at $T = 2~{\rm K}$, values that are twice as large as those measured at higher doping ($p > 0.3$) and lower doping ($p < 0.15$). This confirms the presence of a broad peak in the doping dependence of $C_e$ at $p^\star\simeq 0.19$, as previously reported for samples in which superconductivity was destroyed by Zn impurities. Moreover, at those three dopings, we find a logarithmic growth as $T \to 0$, such that $C_e / T \sim {\rm B}\ln(T_0/T)$. The peak vs $p$ and the logarithmic dependence vs $T$ are the two typical thermodynamic signatures of quantum criticality. In the very different cuprate Bi$_{2+y}$Sr$_{2-x-y}$La$_x$CuO$_{6+δ}$, we again find that $C_e / T \sim {\rm B}\ln(T_0/T$) at $p \simeq p^\star$, strong evidence that this $\ln(1/T)$ dependence - first discovered in the cuprates La$_{1.8-x}$Eu$_{0.2}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ and La$_{1.6-x}$Nd$_{0.4}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ - is a universal property of the pseudogap critical point. All four materials display similar values of the $\rm B$ coefficient, indicating that they all belong to the same universality class.

description: The session centers on Krippendorff’s engagement with design and design analysis. After briefly revisiting Krippendorff’s experiences at Ulm, the session turns to his revival of interest in design issues in the early to mid-1980s. Particular attention is paid to Krippendorff’s collaboration with Reinhardt Butter on product semantics, including the backstory behind early publications and the idea’s reception among designers and others. His Annenberg School teaching on semantics and the social construction of reality is discussed. He recounts his 1986–1987 sabbatical at the Ohio State University, where he also worked with a design consulting firm, beginning his engagement with Phillips Eindhoven. He recounts how his interest in design led to his first serious engagement with discourse, in particular his 1998 keynote at the Society for Science of Design Studies. He discusses the overlap, and resonances, between his cybernetics work from the period and the product semantics idea. The background to the 2006 book The Semantic Turn is also discussed, including the influence of the later thought of Ludwig Wittgenstein.

description: An impressed feature of inflation on warped Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) brane is that the inflationary phase exits spontaneously for a scalar inflaton field with exponential potential, which presents a graceful exit mechanism for the inflation. But its reheating mechanism leaves open. We investigate the curvaton reheating in inflation on warped DGP brane model. The reheating may occur in effctively 5 dimensional or 4 dimensional stage. We study the permitted parameter space of the curvaton field in detail. We demonstrate how the inflation model of the warped DGP brane is improved by the curvaton mechanism.

description: The session begins with Krippendorff’s recollections about the Annenberg School of Communications (ASC) in the late 1960s and 1970s. He touches on ASC student discontent in 1973, the resulting unrest, and George Gerbner’s renewed tenure as dean.  The history of Krippendorff’s engagement with content analysis is a major theme, including his conceptual and epistemological ideas. He recounts the backstory to his dissertation on the topic, his ongoing work through the 1970s, Krippendorff’s Alpha, and his Sage-published Content Analysis book (1980). Krippendorff describes his involvement, beginning in the late 1960s, with the International Communication Association, including his 1984–1985 presidency. He returns to the influence of Ross Ashby on his thinking about, and work on, information theory in the 1970s. The session concludes with Krippendorff describing his early courses at the ASC.

description: We consider the notion of zilch current that was recently discussed in the literature as an alternative helicity measure for photons. Developing this idea, we suggest the generalization of the zilch for the systems of fermions. We start with the definition of the photonic zilch current in chiral kinetic theory framework and work out field-theoretical definition of the fermionic zilch using the Wigner function formalism. This object has similar properties to the photonic zilch and is conserved in the non-interacting theory. We also show that, in full analogy with a case of photons, the fermionic zilch acquires a non-trivial contribution due to the medium rotation - zilch vortical effect (ZVE) for fermions. Combined with a previously studied ZVE for photons, these results form a wider set of chiral effects parameterized by the spin of the particles and the spin of the current. We briefly discuss the origin of the ZVE, its possible relation to the anomalies in the underlying microscopic theory and possible application for studying the spin polarization in chiral media.

description: We report here experimental evidence of the reflection of a large fraction of a beam of low energy antiprotons by an aluminum wall. This derives from the analysis of a set of annihilations of antiprotons that come to rest in rarefied helium gas after hitting the end wall of the apparatus. A Monte Carlo simulation of the antiproton path in aluminum indicates that the observed reflection occurs primarily via a multiple Rutherford-style scattering on Al nuclei, at least in the energy range 1-10 keV where the phenomenon is most visible in the analyzed data. These results contradict the common belief according to which the interactions between matter and antimatter are dominated by the reciprocally destructive phenomenon of annihilation.

description: The session focuses on the 1960s, beginning with Krippendorff’s move to the United States in 1961 on a Ford Foundation International Fellowship and Fulbright travel grant. He recounts his brief stint with the psychology department at Princeton University, leaving at the suggestion of Princeton psychologist Hadley Cantril. On Cantril’s suggestion, Krippendorff traveled to meet with George Miller (MIT), Jerome Bruner (Harvard), Anatol Rappoport (Michigan), and George Gerbner (Illinois). He recounts his encounters, including an important visit to Michigan State University, where he was recruited to join its communication doctoral program. Krippendorff describes how, visiting Illinois, he visited with both Heinz von Foerster, Ross Ashby, Dallas Smythe, and Gerbner, and decided to join the Institute for Communications Research doctoral program. Krippendorff recounts his experience with Illinois faculty, especially Ashby’s teaching around systems, information theory, and cybernetics, as well as his appointment at the young Annenberg School of Communications (ASC) at the University of Pennsylvania alongside Gerbner, the School’s new dean, in 1964. Krippendorff’s dissertation project on content analysis, along with a major conference he organized on the topic in 1967 at Annenberg, are detailed. His early participation in, and experiences with, Gerbner’s Cultural Indicators project are recounted. Krippendorff also touches on his memories of the Annenberg School as it transformed from a media arts orientation to a scholarly focus. He discusses some of his late 1960s and early 1970s engagement with information theory and cybernetics in published papers.

description: A general method is proposed for calculating a fully k-dependent, continuous, and causal spectral function A(k,E) within the recently introduced nonlocal version of the coherent-potential approximation (NLCPA). The method involves the combination of both periodic and anti-periodic solutions to the associated cluster problem and also leads to correct bulk quantities for small cluster sizes. We illustrate the method by investigating the Fermi surface of a two-dimensional alloy. Dramatically, we find a smeared electronic topological transition not predicted by the conventional CPA.

description: Cosmic strings, a hot subject in the 1980's and early 1990's, lost its appeal when it was found that it leads to inconsistencies in the power spectrum of the measured cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropies. However, topological defects in general, and cosmic strings in particular, are deeply rooted in the framework of grand unified theories. Indeed, it was shown that cosmic strings are expected to be generically formed within supersymmetric grand unified theories. This theoretical support gave a new boost to the field of cosmic strings, a boost which has been recently enhanced when it was shown that cosmic superstrings (fundamental or one-dimensional Dirichlet branes) can play the role of cosmic strings, in the framework of braneworld cosmologies. To build a cosmological scenario we employ high energy physics; inflation and cosmic strings then naturally appear. Confronting the predictions of the cosmological scenario against current astrophysical/cosmological data we impose constraints on its free parameters, obtaining information about the high energy physics we employed. This is a beautiful example of the rich and fruitful interplay between cosmology and high energy physics.

description: As road transportation has been identified as a major contributor of environmental pollution, motivating individuals to adopt a more eco-friendly driving style could have a substantial ecological as well as financial benefit. With gamification being an effective tool towards guiding targeted behavioural changes, the development of realistic frameworks delivering a high end user experience, becomes a topic of active research. This paper presents a series of enhancements introduced to an eco-driving gamification platform by the integration of additional wearable and vehicle-oriented sensing data sources, leading to a much more realistic evaluation of the context of a driving session.

description: A simplified and straightforward methodology that may be used to measure N(4 S) density by TALIF technique in strongly emissive plasmas is presented. The method makes use of the absorption peak intensities instead of the fully integrated absorption line intensity. The use of this method, along with a physics-based fitting/filtering procedure enables strongly reducing the experimental uncertainty and performing measurement even in strongly emitting discharges. After validation, the method was employed to investigate the transients of a strongly emissive pulsed microwave discharge. We especially showed the existence of unexpected increase of N(4 S) density at the early stage of the transition from high-to lowpower phase. The use of a self-consistent quasi-homogenous plasma model taking into account a detailed state-to-state kinetics, enables to attribute this enhancement to surface deexcitation of N(2 D) and N(2 P).

description: The interview focuses on Krippendorff’s childhood through to his decision to leave for the United States in 1961. His parents’ familiarity with the U.S., including affiliations with a German-American exchange program, is discussed, alongside his father’s occupational background as an academic engineer. Special attention is paid to Krippendorff’s childhood years in Halberstadt, including the city’s history and character. The interview discusses Krippendorff’s remembrances of the Nazi era, including the treatment of Jews in Halberstadt, up through the end of World War II. The Allied bombing of Halberstadt in April 1945, which hit Krippendorff’s house, is recounted in great detail, including his family’s re-establishment in the nearby village of Schwanebeck in the Russian zone of control. He describes his father’s improvised machine-repair business, subsequent imprisonment by Russian authorities, release, and emigration to West Germany (near Düsseldorf). The interview traces the plan for the rest of the family, including Krippendorff, to escape what had become East Germany, after completing a three-year engineering apprenticeship in 1949. The escape itself is described in great detail, followed by an account of Krippendorff’s matriculation to Hanover’s state engineering school. After recounting a stint as an engineering consultant in Düsseldorf, he describes his decision to apply to the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm alongside his involvement in the informal youth association Wandervogel. His experience at Ulm with students and influential professors (including Max Bense, Horst Rittel, and Bruce Archer) is discussed, along with the school’s faculty politics. Krippendorff’s practical diploma project, a motor-grader, and especially his thesis, on the sign and symbol characteristics of objects, is described in light of his subsequent intellectual trajectory

This birational invariant is defined as the codimension of the maximal compact subvarieties in the universal cover of X. In the surface case, the deformation invariance is a straightforward consequence of a theorem of Y.-T. Siu. Using some results from F. Campana et Q. Zhang, we settle this invariance for certain type of Kähler families of dimension 3.

description: Using the NIFS near-infrared integral-field spectrograph behind the facility adaptive optics module, ALTAIR, on Gemini North, we have identified several massive O-type stars that are responsible for the ionization of the Galactic Ultra-Compact HII region G45.45+0.06. The sources ``m'' and ``n'' from the imaging study of Feldt et a. 1998 are classified as hot, massive O-type stars based on their K-band spectra. Other bright point sources show red and/or nebular spectra and one appears to have cool star features that we suggest are due to a young, low-mass pre-main sequence component. Still two other embedded sources (``k'' and ``o'' from Feldt et al.) exhibit CO bandhead emission that may arise in circumstellar disks which are possibly still accreting. Finally, nebular lines previously identified only in higher excitation planetary nebulae and associated with KrIII and SeIV ions are detected in G45.45+0.06.

Linear optics quantum Toffoli and Fredkin gates

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We design linear optics multiqubit quantum logic gates. We assume the traditional encoding of a qubit onto state of a single photon in two modes (e.g. spatial or polarization). We suggest schemes allowing direct probabilistic realization of the fundamental Toffoli and Fredkin gates without resorting to a sequence of single- and two-qubit gates. This yields more compact schemes and potentially reduces the number of ancilla photons. The proposed setups involve passive linear optics, sources of auxiliary single photons or maximally entangled pairs of photons, and single-photon detectors. In particular, we propose an interferometric implementation of the Toffoli gate in the coincidence basis, which does not require any ancilla photons and is experimentally feasible with current technology.

description: We study the Bloch spectrum and spin physics of 2D massless Dirac electrons in single layer graphene subject to a one dimensional periodic Kronig-Penney potential and Rashba spin-orbit coupling. The Klein paradox exposes novel features in the band dispersion and in graphene spintronics. In particular it is shown that: (1) The Bloch energy dispersion $\veps(p)$ has unusual structure: There are {\it two Dirac points} at Bloch momenta $\pm p \ne 0$ and a narrow band emerges between the wide valence and conduction bands. (2) The charge current and the spin density vector vanish. (3) Yet, all the non-diagonal elements of the spin current density tensor are finite and their magnitude increases linearly with the spin-orbit strength. In particular, there is a spin density current whose polarization is perpendicular to the graphene plane. (4) The spin density currents are space-dependent, hence their continuity equation includes a finite spin torque density.

Theory of unconventional Smith-Purcell radiation in finite-size photonic crystals
Creators: name: Ochiai, T.

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: Unusual emission of light, called the unconventional Smith-Purcell radiation (uSPR) in this paper, was demonstrated from an electron traveling near a finite photonic crystal (PhC) at an ultra-relativistic velocity. This phenomenon is not related to the accepted mechanism of the conventional SPR and arises because the evanescent light from the electron has such a small decay constant in the ultra-relativistic regime that it works practically as a plane-wave probe entering the PhC from one end. We analyze the dependence of the SPR spectrum on the velocity of electron and on the parity of excited photonic bands and show, for PhCs made up of a finite number of cylinders, that uSPR probes the photonic band structure very faithfully.

description: This paper studies the persistence of the effects of terrorist attacks on the urban structure at the regional level. With this aim, a dynamic differences-in-differences approach is applied to all the municipalities of the Basque Country and Navarre autonomous communities in Spain during the period 1986–2014. The results show that terrorism had a negative and transitory effect on population growth. We also find that incidents with deaths implied more adverse shocks. Terrorist attacks had more significant effects in bigger municipalities and in the provinces with a stronger ideological polarization. Finally, we provide evidence of demographic spatial effects derived from violence.

description: This paper explores the challenges posed by insularity to economic development and overall welfare from a novel viewpoint. Using a multidisciplinary approach, we investigated the additional burden that this permanent geographical condition poses to retailers whose profit-maximizing strategy relies upon the exploitation of the economies of density. The analysis results show that a retailer finds it convenient to develop its network on the mainland, exploiting the proximity of his stores and distribution centres. Further, it shows that insularity, an unlikely similar condition such as peripherality and remoteness, prevents retailers from expanding their network on an island, thus lowering competition and affecting consumers’ welfare.

description: The effects of fiscal decentralization on economic growth are analyzed. A theoretical framework is developed that builds on the relationships between government size and growth and between decentralization and government size. The framework is tested empirically on a panel of 25 European countries observed between 1995 and 2015. The econometric results show that the relationship between expenditure decentralization and growth is bell shaped. The paper also focuses on expenditure composition. In this respect, the relationship between investment decentralization and growth is an inverted bell-shaped curve: there is a critical mass of decentralized investments beyond which it is possible to enhance growth.
Spontaneous R-parity violation: Lightest neutralino decays and neutrino mixing angles at future colliders

description: We study the decays of the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) in models with spontaneously broken R-parity. We focus on the two cases that the LSP is either a bino or a neutral singlet lepton. We work out the most important phenomenological differences between these two scenarios and discuss also how they might be distinguished from explicit R-Parity breaking models. In both cases we find that certain ratios of decay branching ratios are correlated with either the solar or the atmospheric (and reactor) neutrino angle. The hypothesis that spontaneous R-Parity violation is the source of the observed neutrino masses is therefore potentially testable at the LHC.

Non locality and causal evolution in QFT

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Non locality appearing in QFT during the free evolution of localized field states and in the Feynman propagator function is analyzed. It is shown to be connected to the initial non local properties present at the level of quantum states and then it does not imply a violation of Einstein's causality. Then it is investigated a simple QFT system with interaction, consisting of a classical source coupled linearly to a quantum scalar field, that is exactly solved. The expression for the time evolution of the state describing the system is given. The expectation value of any arbitrary ``good'' local observable, expressed as a function of the field operator and its space and time derivatives, is obtained explicitly at all order in the field-matter coupling constant. These expectation values have a source dependent part that is shown to be always causally retarded, while the non local contributions are source independent and related to the non local properties of zero point vacuum fluctuations.

Lower bound on the size of a quasirandom forcing set of permutations
Creators: name: Kurecka, Martin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: A set $S$ of permutations is forcing if for any sequence $\{Π_i\}_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$ of permutations where the density $d(π,Π_i)$ converges to $\frac{1}{|π|!}$ for every permutation $π\in S$, it holds that $\{Π_i\}_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$ is quasirandom. Graham asked whether there exists an integer $k$ such that the set of all permutations of order $k$ is forcing; this has been shown to be true for any $k\ge 4$. In particular, the set of all twenty-four permutations of order $4$ is forcing. We provide the first non-trivial lower bound on the size of a forcing set of permutations: every forcing set of permutations (with arbitrary orders) contains at least four permutations.
The overseas Chinese and the economic underdevelopment of Indonesia
Creators: name: Chen, Christopher
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis will attempt to clarify the reasons why the Indonesian economy did not progress from an import-substitution orientation to a more advanced state of export-orientation during the oil boom periods of the Suharto era (mid 1970's to early 1980's). The paper will be a departure from Western research methods of analyzing political and economic secondary sources by using Chinese and Southeast Asian Chinese sources instead. I have drawn upon the theories of noted Western scholars and attempt to explain how their theories on the subject are incomplete and Western-biased. I will attempt to show how Chinese sources may lead to a conclusion that, contrary to popular belief, the Chinese family ethic may in fact be an inhibitor to economic development. I have chosen private big businesses in Indonesia exclusively as I believe them to be the best examples of active economic actors in that nation during that period. The paper will be divided up into an introductory section which will state the purpose of the paper, the methods of research and will also feature introductories to basic models of developing economies and Indonesian conglomerates. Chapter two will contain the prevalent theories on government protection and involvement in the Indonesian economy. This will draw upon the secondary Western source materials available on the subject and highlight examples of bureaucratic interference. Chapter three will feature the Chinese sources on the cultural aspects of the Indonesian Chinese economy, describing such notions of assimilation and cultural traits. This will show how Chinese private enterprise and business strategy may be influenced by the family ethic which many believe to be the strength of overseas Chinese entrepreneurialship. The Chinese sources I have used may in fact indicate otherwise.

description: The final stage of the black hole evaporation is a matter of debates in the existing literature. In this paper, we consider this problem within two alternative approaches: noncommutative geometry(NCG) and the generalized uncertainty principle(GUP). We compare the results of two scenarios to find a relation between parameters of these approaches. Our results show some extraordinary thermodynamical behavior for Planck size black hole evaporation. These extraordinary behavior may reflect the need for a fractal nonextensive thermodynamics for Planck size black hole evaporation process.

description: The subnational level embodied by regions and cities presents unique challenges for energy policy. Large metropolitan areas tend to be consumers rather than producers of energy, with two of the most critical sectors being transport and residential. The Madrid region in Spain – one of Europe’s most significant urban areas – represents such a phenomenon. The Long-Range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) modelling approach has been applied to Madrid for long-term sustainable energy planning. This paper presents the model, a business-as-usual projection and two alternate scenarios to 2050. The results show that by applying measures to decarbonize the transport and residential sectors, significant reductions in energy demand are possible.

description: We prove in the general framework of noncommutative geometry that the inner fluctuations of the spectral action can be computed as residues and give exactly the counterterms for the Feynman graphs with fermionic internal lines. We show that for geometries of dimension less or equal to four the obtained terms add up to a sum of a Yang-Mills action with a Chern-Simons action.

Science Policy

description: This paper analyses the system-wide impact of increased household energy efficiency in a regional context, using Scotland as an example. It shows that household energy efficiency improvements typically deliver a ‘double dividend’ of a regional economic stimulus and reduction in energy use. However, the trade-off between the two is sensitive to the degree of regional fiscal autonomy, and so is likely to vary across regions. The use of taxation to support the implementation of energy-efficiency improvement programmes negatively impacts competitiveness, unless workers are willing to accept lower after-tax wages to fund public spending on improving household energy efficiency.
Asymmetric Heat Flow in Mesoscopic Magnetic System

Year: 2006

description: The characteristics of heat flow in a coupled magnetic system are studied. The coupled system is composed of a gapped chain and a gapless chain. The system size is assumed to be quite small so that the mean free path is comparable to it. When the parameter set of the temperatures of reservoirs is exchanged, the characteristics of heat flow are studied with the Keldysh Green function technique. The asymmetry of current is found in the presence of a local equilibrium process at the contact between the magnetic systems. The present setup is realistic and such an effect will be observed in real experiments. We also discuss the simple phenomenological explanation to obtain the asymmetry.

description: In this paper we establish the local Lyapunov property of certain L^p and Besov norms of the vorticity fields. We have resolved in part, a certain open problem posed by Tosio Kato for the three dimensional Navier Stokes equation by studying the vorticity equation. The local dissipativity of the sum of linear and non-linear operators of the vorticity equation is established. One of the main techniques used here is Littlewood-Paley analysis.

description: The purpose of this study is to provide an evaluation of the Eastern Kentucky Rural Highway Information Project, involving the establishment of a 511 Premium Tourism Service Package. Kentucky is only the second state to offer tourism related services through its 511 Travel System, placing the state in a position to offer insights gained from the project to other states considering the implementation of a similar program. Lessons learned from Kentucky’s experience with launching and managing a multi-county tourism information system will be invaluable. To that end, this study (1) reviewed the activities undertaken during launch and early operations of the Southern and Eastern Kentucky 511 Tourism Service, and (2) conducted a survey of users in an effort to gauge public use and receptiveness to this service. This report offers lessons learned during the start-up phase of the project pertaining to (1) institutional issues, (2) technical issues, and (3) public-private partnership issues. In addition, a survey was administered to 600 users of the 511 Tourism Service, in an effort to gauge current public sentiment about the service as well as discover additional features users would like the service to offer in the future.
