Readiness of Target Libraries in Stage 2009 for Receiving Ict Equipment READINESS OF TARGET LIBRARIES IN STAGE 2009 FOR RECEIVING ICT EQUIPMENT 5 August 2010 In the period 1 – 30 June 2010 the Regional IT Specialists visited all 455 target libraries under the Glob@l Libraries – Bulgaria Program in Stage 2009 in order to verify their readiness for receiving ICT equipment under the program. The readiness of target libraries is verified upon compliance with the following mandatory requirements: 1. ELECTRICITY – there must be a minimum of 3 Schuko electric plugs close to every workstation, and the capacity of the grid must be consistent with the number of devices 2. INTERNET – Internet availability in the target library 3. LOCAL NETWORK – completely built local area network and power grid 4. RENOVATED PREMISES – refreshment work done on the premises 5. APPROPRIATE HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING – heating provided 6. DESKS AND CHAIRS – desks or tables and chairs for each workstation provided 7. READINESS OF THE DISTRICT – number of libraries which comply with all requirements In cases where a library is partially compliant with the requirements, it is accepted to not be ready under this condition (i.e., the grid is consistent with the number of devices but there are not enough Schuko electric plugs – therefore, the library is not compliant with the requirements for the power grid). The analysis of information on readiness of the 455 target libraries has shown that: - Fully compliant with all requirements are 50 libraries, or 11%; - The largest readiness is observed in the renovation of premises – 429 libraries (94%); - The majority of libraries have provided desks or tables and chairs for workstations – 400 libraries (88%); - There is Internet access in 394 libraries (87%); - 392 libraries (86%) are heated by electricity, gas or solid fuel; - The readiness in provision of enough grid power for the approved ICT equipment packages and installation of electric plugs for each workstation is poorer. The power grid is compliant with the requirements only in 141 libraries (31%); - The local Internet network and power grids are built in accordance with the requirements in 89 libraries (20%). PROBLEMS: Insoluble problems may be encountered with bringing power grids into accordance with the requirements, as well as in cases where Internet providers are unable to ensure the minimal bandwidth of 512 Kbit/s or where technical opportunity for cable Internet access is unavailable, therefore a mobile connection shall be used (such cases are the villages of Gorna Malina and Baylovo in Sofia district and in the village of Balanovo in Kyustendil district). 1 The lack of built local area networks (Internet and electric cables reaching every workstation) in most cases is due to the belief that cabling as a quick and easy process and that it can be done when the schedule for ICT equipment delivery becomes clear. In other cases, there is no clear vision on the specific requirements in regard to cabling.

The power grids comply with the requirements only in three libraries /the town of Simitli, the village of Mihnevo, Petrich municipality, and the village of Strumyani, Strumyani municipality/. Funding is expected of municipalities for bringing the grids in the rest of the libraries into compliance with the requirements. Internet access is not provided for 5 settlements – the town of Dobrinishte and the villages of Levunovo, Sandanski municipality, Brezhani, Simitli municipality, Valkosel and Pletena, Satovcha municipality. All libraries except the one in Levunovo have made a selection of a future Internet service provider. Local Internet networks and power grids are not built in any of the libraries. The requirements of renovation and heating of libraries are fulfilled to a larger degree. The necessary desks and chairs are available. The library in the village of Levunovo, Sandanski municipality does not comply with any of the mandatory requirements; comparatively low is the readiness of the libraries in the villages of Brezhani, Simitli municipality, Pletena and Valkosel, Satovcha municipality. The power grids in these libraries do not comply with the requirements, and no Internet access is provided. PROBLEMS: There are not any significant problems. 4 BLAGOEVGRAD DISTRICT – TARGET LIBRARIES APPR OPRI OVERAL RENO ATE DESK L ID ICT LOCA INTE VATE HEATI S READIN NU PAC ELECT L LIBRARY NAME MUNICIPALITY SETTLEMENT RNE D NG/A AND ESS OF MBE KAG RICITY NETW T PREM IR CHAI THE R E ORK ISES CON RS LIBRAR DITIO Y NING CHITALISHTE TOWN OF 7 LIBRARY D.

Milen Penerliev 1 Alternative tourism is a form of tourism which represents an alternative to the conventional mass tourism. Its forms are small-scale, low-density, divided into forms practiced in urban (religious, cultural, business) and rural areas. Alternative tourism is an attempt to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the existing resource base, which is fundamental for tourism itself. Alternative tourism is featured by active encouragement and care for the development of additional andspecific attractions as well the infrastructure, which are based on the local resources, while at the same time aiding the latter. It has an impact on the quality of life in the region, improves the infrastructure and increases the educational and cultural level of the local community.
