The social information about unsatisfied basic needs (UBN) compiled in this shapefile 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 came from the population and housing census of 1988. Additional information about unsatisfied basic needs (UBN) compiled was taken from the XVI Population and V Housing Census of Honduras (2001 Census), this document was published by the National Statistics Institute (INE - Instituto Nacional de Estadística).
The information about the Health Development Index (HDI) compiled in this shapefile was taken from the National Report on Human Development in Honduras. This document was developed by different organizations like the National Institute of Statistics of Honduras (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas - INE), and United Nations Development Program (Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo - PNUD) based on the results of the population and housing census of 2001
The spatial information compiled in this shapefile was 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). This work was carried out by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT).
The data are represented in Latitude-Longitude geographical coordinates. The information is presented in two administrative levels that are: first level corresponds Departments (Departamentos) according to the denomination of this level in this country, and the second level corresponds to Municipalities (Municipios).

This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.
The horizontal datum used is D_WGS_1984.
The ellipsoid used is WGS_1984.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257224.
