Title: Ecuador - Unsatisfied Basic Needs (UBN) 2001
Abstract:
The social information about unsatisfied basic needs (UBN) compiled in this shape was taken from the work of Andres Schuschny and Gilberto Gallopín called "The spatial distribution of poverty in relation whit the environmental systems in Latin America"; the data to generate this map come from the population and housing census of 2001. The information compiled in this shape is the result of geographical information taken from administrative units' maps that were digitized country by country, corrected and adjusted with the digital information of the D.C.W. (Digital Chart of the World). The data are represented in Latitude-Longitude geographical coordinates. The information is presented in two administrative levels that are: first level corresponds Province (Provincia) according to the denomination of this level in this country, and the second level corresponds to Canton (Cantón). The Map source was obtained for the digitization of this information (CIAT) but in some cases the information is not very recent and the administrative division has changed a lot.
