Abstract:
The social information about poverty compiled in this shapefile was taken from the document called: "Extreme Poverty Map of Nicaragua". The government of Nicaragua elaborated this document, and the data to generate not only the document but also this map comes from the database of the VII Population and III Housing Census of 1995, and the Life Level Measurement Survey of 1998.
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 Departments (Departamentos) according to the denomination of this level in this country, and the second level corresponds to Municipalities (Municipios). 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. |
