Texto completoResumen
Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en Gestión y Políticas PúblicasHonduras es uno de los países Latinoamericanos que presentan los mayores indicadores de desigualdad en la distribución y acceso a la tierra y la vivienda, generando mayor informalidad, que afecta particularmente a los segmentos más vulnerables de la sociedad (Hábitat, 2017). Estudios del Banco Mundial (2014) calculan que solo alrededor del 30%, de los predios estimados en el país, se encuentran registradas formalmente en el registro de la propiedad y, según el Instituto de la Propiedad (IP), aproximadamente un 86% de la población vive en áreas que ocupa o posee sin un título legal que lo ampare; creando niveles altos de inseguridad sobre la tenencia de la tierra, limitando el crecimiento económico y la inversión, así como la estabilidad social y el uso sostenible de la tierra. (Paz, 2007). El último estudio desarrollado en 2014, evidencia un fuerte desconocimiento de la naturaleza jurídica de los predios y un bajo porcentaje de derechos mapeados e identificados; una escaza coordinación interinstitucional y una desarticulación de instrumentos de planificación, ya que en el país existen al menos 10 instituciones con competencias sobre la tierra y procedimientos diferentes que eventualmente ocasionan traslapes de funciones. Añadiendo a esto también los elevados índices de corrupción que sufren dichas instituciones. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el estado de la regularización predial en Honduras a partir del año 2015, tomando como línea base el estudio Marco de la Evaluación de la Gobernanza de la Tierra LGAF, Honduras 2014 , específicamente el módulo de regularización predial, considerando también la percepción de los diferentes actores sociales. Para ello, se empleó una metodología mixta (cuantitativa y cualitativa) de tipo descriptiva, utilizando la metodología LGAF planteada por el BM. Adicionalmente, se realizaron entrevistas semi estructuradas, que permitieron profundizar el análisis. Como marco analítico se utilizó la teoría desarrollada por varios organismos internacionales sobre los Sistemas de Administración de la Tierra (SAT), entendido como el sistema que provee la infraestructura para implementar las políticas de la tierra y las estrategias de administración de la tierra de forma que se apoye un desarrollo sostenible UNECE (1996); permitiendo comprender los elementos esenciales para una gestión eficiente de la tierra. Los resultados indican que Honduras pasó de Regular a Bueno , en la evaluación LGAF realizada por los expertos, evidenciando una mejora en el desarrollo de procesos y en la prestación de servicios; sin embargo, es una apreciación limitada al enfoque gubernamental. En torno al tema de tierra convergen un número importante de actores con diversos niveles de poder e influencia, el análisis más integral que incorpora la percepción de grupos sociales destacados, concuerdan en que los avances han sido muchos, pero no significativos para generar el impacto social necesario. ¿avance o retroceso?, estimaciones indican que la informalidad se ha reducido en un 4.5%, lo sin dudas representa un avance, no obstante, a ese ritmo Honduras necesitaría 105 años para lograr titular los 2.6 millones de predios estimados y lograr un verdadero impacto social que impulse un desarrollo económico y que contribuya a la reducción de la desigualdad y la pobreza.

Texto completoResumen
Magíster en Gestión y Políticas PúblicasEste estudio consiste en el diagnóstico y análisis del actual funcionamiento del Sistema Nacional de Inversión Pública de Honduras, y la posterior generación de propuestas de mejora. Se inicia con la descripción de la gestión del órgano rector, los actores que intervienen y los vínculos entre éstos, detectando las oportunidades de mejora y los retos futuros. La investigación sigue una metodología similar al de la publicación Los SNIP de América Latina y el Caribe: Historia, evolución y lecciones aprendidas de la Serie de Gestión No.124, del Departamento de Ingeniería Industrial de la Universidad de Chile, en la que se analizan los sistemas de inversión pública de: México, Brasil, Costa Rica, Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Perú y República Dominicana. La metodología de investigación cuantitativa se desarrolló en tres fases, partiendo con la revisión de estudios previos de inversión pública, informes de avances y resultados, marco legal de Honduras, entre otros. Seguido de la aplicación de una encuesta cerrada y estructurada a los directivos y formuladores de proyectos del Plan de Inversión Pública, aprovechando los avances tecnológicos al haberla elaborado on line. Se finaliza con el análisis de los resultados, haciendo una comparación del país con respecto a América Latina en los aspectos positivos y en los que se identificaron brechas que se deben mejorar. Los principales hallazgos consisten en la necesidad de articular las políticas nacionales de inversión con las de orden territorial, participación ciudadana, y rendición de cuentas públicas. También avanzar en el uso de los sistemas tecnológicos de información, mejorar herramientas propias de la inversión pública como es el BIP, fortalecer la capacidad institucional identificando actores y asignando responsabilidades. Además de encaminar el SNIP hacia las evaluaciones sociales ex ante y ex post de proyectos, desarrollar y fortalecer capacidades técnicas en aspectos transversales a la metodología de proyectos, como: género, ambiente y transparencia, entre otros. Se debe destacar y aprovechar las evaluaciones positivas respecto al personal técnico de inversión pública y las iniciativas de asociaciones público-privadas de proyectos. Los retos futuros identificados para el SNIP debieran ser superados gradual y progresivamente, sin dejar de lado temas claves como la descentralización y la autonomía en la toma de decisiones de los actores regionales.

For that, we will rely on two main axes: the reconstitution of discourses of the liberal and neo-liberal administrations, so that it allows us to establish the similarities between the two speeches as well as the differences. The second axis will be the analysis of the material results of both speeches in the urban landscape. How do the inhabitants Tegucigalpa live these two modernization policies? Is the ideal of modernity on behalf of the authorities, desired or suffered by its inhabitants? Answering these questions will constitute our research problem, around which we will articulate the political, social, economic and urban factors that condition the modernization of Tegucigalpa

Lake Yojoa is the largest freshwater lake in Honduras, located in the central west region of the country (1405' N, 88° W). The lake has a surface area of 82 km2, a maximum depth of 26 m. and an average depth of 16 m. The locals believe that the anthropogenic activities around the lake for the past 25 years have impacted the water quality of the lake. Temperature analysis of the lake helps to understand the seasonal changes in the thermal structure of the lake, and it also indicates the seasonal changes in the water quality of the lake. The lake is marginally stratified most of the year, with a maximum difference of 4°C between the water surface and the lake bottom. The temporal changes in the thermal structure of the lake are studied using the lake stability analysis and a temperature model CE-THERM. The two analyses confirm that the lake overturns once a year. However, they differ on the onset of the overturn event and the seasonal changes in the stratification depth. The stability analysis indicates an overturn in November and for some years less stable lake conditions in June. The CE-THERM model was run for year 2005 and it indicates a possible overturn in June, and the lake remaining mixed until December.
(cont.) Further analysis using additional data is recommended to improve the temperature model predictions. Higher wind speeds, and lower air temperature were observed during the October and November time period, their combined effect appears to be mixing the lake. The inflow water is about 3 °C colder than the lake surface for most of the year, and it tends to sink in the bottom of the lake water column. Poor quality of inflow water settling in the bottom of the lake during a sudden overturn event can cause negative consequences on the dissolved oxygen of the lake, and thus the aquatic processes depending on it. Further studies are recommended to study the transport of the inflowing waters and their circulation in the lake water column, especially during the periods of low stability. Additionally, the thermal analysis can be extended to analyze other water quality constituents, and ultimately leading to the study of eutrophication.

Sludge management is a fundamental area of concern across wastewater treatment systems in Honduras. The lack of timely sludge removal has led to declining plant performance in many facilities throughout the country. In addition to maintaining treatment efficiency, proper sludge management is important for mitigating pathogen levels and providing opportunities for safe beneficial reuse of biosolids. Based on analyses of data collected at waste stabilization ponds in the municipalities of Puerto Cortes and La Lima, sludge was characterized with respect to quantities generated (accumulation rates) and quality (helminths and heavy metals content). A review was conducted of appropriate sludge treatment technologies including sludge drying beds, alkaline stabilization, acid stabilization, anaerobic digestion, and composting. These options were evaluated based on a set of selected criteria. Anaerobic digestion, alkaline stabilization, and composting were all found to be suitable methods of sludge treatment. Alkaline stabilization and composting are well suited to facilities with sufficient land. Anaerobic digestion was recommended for areas with land constraints. Treated biosolids can be beneficially used within the community and/or at a regional scale. Potential regional end-uses include soil amendment in agriculture and forestry, or for land reclamation of mined lands. Public participation and acceptance is essential for the success of a biosolids reuse program. Potential strategies for engaging the community and addressing public concerns regarding biosolids were identified.

PRODUCTO CENTRO AMERICANO: MADE IN HONDURAS By Alma Leiva Master of Fine Arts A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University. Virginia Commonwealth University, 2011. Thesis Director: Robert Paris, Professor Kinetic Imaging / Photography and Film I was born in 1973 in Honduras, a country under military regime. In 1982 after 20 years of military rule, Honduras finally had democratic elections. During that decade, and as a consequence of the cold war, the kidnapping, torturing, murder and disappearance of civilians became common practices among the Honduran military. Peasant activists, university leaders, union workers and intellectuals were among its favorite targets. In Producto Centroamericano: Made in Honduras I present the viewer with a "product" entrenched in Honduran history; the disappearance of almost two hundred civilians in the 1980's for political reasons. The work also presents the viewer with the imminent threat of the return of this practice after its military coup in 2009. By juxtaposing references of torturing tools such as knives, metal poles, chains and meat hooks, against more frail materials such as paper, wax and fabric, I make allusions to the vulnerability of the individual against such repressive forces. Through the elements presented in the installation, I try to take the viewer on a journey that will hopefully, confront one with one’s own humanity and ultimately with one’s own mortality.

Texto completoResumen
The uneven success of tropical forest product marketing initiatives over the past decade has illuminated our poor understanding of forest peasant livelihood systems. This dissertation explores how , when and why peoples living within biodiverse tropical forests turn to the sale of forest products to meet their needs over time, through a detailed examination of commercial forest extraction by the Tawahka Sumu (pop. 1,000) of the Mosquitia region, eastern Honduras. The study uses a multi-method, multi-scalar approach that incorporates conceptual insights from cultural ecology, agricultural economics, and peasant studies.A detailed household census (n = 116, or 88% of Tawahka households in 1998) was used to establish patterns of reliance on commercial extraction. As a group, the Tawahka were found to manage a diverse market income portfolio in which commercial extraction contributed some 18% in 1997--98 (US$23/capita). At the household level, however, reliance on the extractive sector varied from 0--93%. Analysis of multi-year income data suggests that households move easily into, and out of, the sector. Statistical analysis indicates that the most important determinants of this sporadic engagement are unanticipated household-level calamities (illness, crop shortfall).
This ex post insurance function of commercial extraction was also demonstrated over longer time scales by a detailed historical analysis of the Mosquitia's dugout canoe trade, which revealed that the sale of dugout canoes has provided local peoples with an important fall-back during periods of economic recession. Discussion highlights the dynamism of peasant livelihoods, in which forest product sale is seen as only one response to householders' changing needs over both the lifecycle of the household and larger economic cycles in the region.
The modern dynamics of the canoe trade appear to have changed little over two centuries, emphasizing the little-recognized continuity within native exchange systems despite market penetration and monetization. During the 1990s, the Tawahka sold half of the approximately 500 canoes they made, mainly to Miskito buyers. The future of canoe commerce is threatened by pressures on the forests of the newly-created Tawahka Asangni Biosphere Reserve, including high internal growth rates, ladino colonization, and agricultural reorganization in the wake of Hurricane Mitch. The implications of the study's findings to conservation and development initiatives in the neotropics are discussed.

Perdomo, Alvarado Marcella Maria. ""Tu seras buyei". Le devoir de s'initier au Dügü, un culte de possession des Garifunas du Honduras". Thesis, Paris, EHESS, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019EHES0020.
Texto completoResumen
Le Dügü est un culte de possession pratiqué par les Garifunas, un peuple afroamérindien originaire de l’île de Saint-Vincent, située dans les petites Antilles. Suite à leur déportation en masse vers l’Amérique Centrale par la Couronne britannique en 1797, aujourd’hui, les Garifunas constituent un peuple homogène et transnational répandu sur le littoral atlantique de l’Amérique Centrale. À la différence de la majorité des cultes afro-américains qui abritent pour la plupart un panthéon peuplé de divinités africaines, le Dügü est le domaine des esprits des parents défunts ascendants : les hiuruha et les gubida. Culte magico-religieux qui ignore le dogme et dont la pratique rituelle est la marque, le Dügü suppose la croyance aux esprits des ancêtres capables d’intervenir dans les corps des individus par la possession. Dans la trame cosmogonique du culte, les ancêtres sont censés suivre un itinéraire précis depuis Yurumein, l’île des origines, en traversant la mer des Caraïbes pour finalement débarquer au Honduras, la terre de l’exil. Ce passé est resté gravé dans le Dügü et survit souterrainement dans les sphères inconscientes des individus. Les ancêtres apparaissent en songe, dans des scénarios hallucinatoires, et sont également à l’origine de maladies et de l’infortune en générale. Ce souvenir a aussi donné naissance à un personnage essentiel pour sa propagation : le buyei. À la fois médium, guérisseur et chef de culte, le buyei est considéré comme le membre le plus éminent de toute la communauté religieuse. Or, pour arriver à ce statut, le Dügü exige des rites de passage au cours desquels les élus vont subir une transformation inédite de leur identité. Ce travail se donne pour objectif de décrire et d’analyser le parcours initiatique du buyei, qui s’appui sur deux années de recherche ethnographique au Honduras. L’un des enjeux essentiels consiste à comprendre comment ce personnage devient le fil capteur d’une mémoire historique grâce à la domestication de la possession. La possession est hautement valorisée dans le contexte du Dügü car elle est conceptualisée comme étant la manifestation directe des morts. Par ailleurs, la thèse accorde une place importante à l’expression de l’ontologie protéiforme des agents spirituels aussi bien dans des contextes rituels que non-rituels. Finalement, il s’agit de montrer ici que le cas garifuna révèle ostensiblement que l’articulation de la tradition à l’expérience individuelle constitue la clef de voûte dans les dynamiques de transmissionDügü is a possession cult practiced by the Garifuna, an Afro-Amerindian society originated on the isle of Saint-Vincent, located in the Lesser Antilles. After their mass deportation to Central America by the British Crown in 1797, in the present, the Garifuna are a homogenous and transnational group scattered along the Atlantic Coast of Central America. Unlike the majority of Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Brazilian cults, the African deities do not appear in the cosmological structure of the Dügü. Instead, the Garifuna worship two categories of spiritual entities: the hiuruha and the gubida, the spirits of the dead. As a traditional religious cult, the Dügü is not based on any form of dogma and relies rather upon ritual practice. The ancestral entities are believed to act on the bodies of their living descendants by spirit possession. In the religious repertoire, ancestors follow a precise itinerary from Yurumein, the original motherland, from where they navigate on the Caribbean Sea to finally arrive to Honduras, the land of the exile. This memory remains entrenched in the Dügü and it survives beneath the surface of individuals’unconscious realms. Ancestors become visible in dreams, in hallucinatory visions and they are also the instigators of illness and misfortune. This legacy also gave birth to an important character for its propagation: the buyei. Also known as a medium and a traditional healer, the garifuna religion relies on the leadership of such ritual character. Nevertheless, in order to achieve this position, candidates most go through initiation rites that will profoundly transform their own personal identity. The main purpose of this present study is to describe and analyze the buyei’s initiation journey, which relies on two years of ethnographic research in Honduras. It argues how this character evolves into a living-support for a group’s historical memory due to the ability to master spirit possession. Possession is highly valued in the Dügü, since it is conceptualized as a direct contact with the dead. Moreover, an important place will be accorded to the expression of the fluctuating ontology of the spirits during ritual and non-ritual contexts. Finally, I intend to show here that the garifuna case reveals ostensibly how the link between tradition and individual experience turns out to be a relevant keystone in transmission dynamics

Texto completoResumen
With an increased demand of electricity it is in everyone´s interest that investments are made to promote sustainable options, and the question on how to supply clean and sustainable energy is global. In this bachelor’s thesis, funded by SIDA and Åforsk, the intention was to investigate the possibilities for renewable energy in Honduras, a developing country with an expanding energy sector. Honduras is Central America´s second largest country, located in-between Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador. The country is one of poorest in the region, and the trade is characterized by the import of oil and export of coffee and fruit. Hydropower has played a major role in the development of the Honduran electricity sector, but today oil based thermal power has the largest share of the energy market. It accounts for more than half of the total generation which makes Honduras very vulnerable to changes in the oil price. The remaining share of generation comes from renewable sources, mostly hydropower. The potential for hydropower in Honduras is estimated to be about five times bigger than the current installed capacity. With a constantly rising oil price, building new hydropower or refurbishing old is becoming more and more competitive. This is the reason for this thesis; to investigate the possibilities for small scale hydropower in Honduras. Information has been gathered through contacts with energy organizations as well as examples and experiences from refurbished or upgraded hydropower plants and other relevant hydropower projects. With this information barriers and possibilities in the process of refurbishing, upgrading and building hydropower plants in Honduras have been identified. Our conclusion is that developing small scale hydropower in Honduras is very demanding; applying for required permissions, studies, financing, construction etc. are barriers which all require hard work. Considering this we still believe that the possibilities and positive impacts are greater than the barriers and negative impacts when developing small scale hydropower in Honduras thanks to legislated incentives. The positive impacts that can come from building and refurbishing hydropower plants include: cheaper electricity, improved roads, power lines, and schools, promotion of rural electrification and creation of new job opportunities. Small scale hydropower can help Honduras use its natural resources and create a sustainable development for a brighter future.Med ett ökat behov av elektricitet ligger det i allas intresse att satsningar görs på hållbara alternativ. Jakten på ren och hållbar energi är därför en global fråga aktuell för alla delar av världen. Detta examensarbete, finansierat av SIDA och ÅForsk, har för avsikt att undersöka möjligheterna för förnybar energi i Honduras, ett utvecklingsland vars energisektor är i en expansiv fas. Honduras är Centralamerikas näst största land, beläget mellan Guatemala, Nicaragua och El Salvador. Landet är ett av de fattigaste i regionen med en handel som kännetecknas främst av oljeimport och export av kaffe och frukt. I utvecklingen av Honduras elsystem har vattenkraft spelat en stor roll, men den har förlorat marknadsandelar till förmån för oljebaserad värmekraft. I dagsläget utgör värmekraft mer än hälften av Honduras elproduktion vilket gör landet mycket sårbart för förändringar i oljepriset. Resterande elproduktion utgörs av förnybar energi, till största del vattenkraft. Potentialen för vattenkraft i Honduras uppskattas till nästan fem gånger den idag installerade effekten. Med stigande oljepriser blir det mer konkurrenskraftigt att bygga nya vattenkraftverk eller göra upprustningar av äldre. Med anledning av detta syftar den här rapporten till att undersöka förutsättningarna för småskalig vattenkraft i Honduras. Genom kontakt med energiorganisationer samt exempel och erfarenheter från redan upprustade, uppgraderade eller andra relevanta projekt inom vattenkraft har information insamlats. På så vis har barriärer och möjligheter i processen att upprusta, uppgradera och bygga vattenkraftverk i Honduras identifierats. Vår slutsats är att det krävs en stor insats att utveckla småskalig vattenkraft i Honduras, ansökningar för efterfrågade tillstånd, studier, finansiering, konstruktion och så vidare är barriärer som alla kräver hårt arbete för att övervinnas. Vi anser dock att möjligheterna tack vare lagstiftade incitament och positiva effekter av att utveckla småskalig vattenkraft i Honduras överväger barriärerna och de negativa effekterna. Byggnation och upprustning av vattenkraftverk kan ha positiva följder såsom billigare el, upprustning av vägar, kraftledningar, skolor, främja elektrifiering och skapa arbetstillfällen på landsbygden. Småskalig vattenkraft kan därför hjälpa Honduras att ta till vara på sina naturtillgångar och skapa en hållbar utveckling för en ljusare framtid.

During the academic year of 2008-2009, three Master of Engineering students from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) conducted a study of wastewater treatment systems in Honduras. Building upon previous research, this study assessed the state of centralized wastewater treatment facilities. The project included travel to Honduras in January 2009 for a field survey of these facilities. In addition, the students undertook more focused individual work on various facets of sustainable wastewater treatment. Robert McLean examined options for enhancing performance of an existing Imhoff tank. Mahua Bhattacharya investigated sludge handling practices and alternatives including a study of sludge resource value and potential reuse. Lisa Kullen studied flow behavior in waste stabilization ponds focusing on benefits to effluent quality attainable through operational modifications. This thesis presents a summary of this investigation including a Honduran national and water sector background, and trends based upon site visits and observations. With the context of the sanitation sector thus defined, a detailed investigation of wastewater stabilization ponds follows. This study explores hydrodynamic changes and water quality improvements attainable through various modifications in maintenance and operation of these facilities. Extensive use of flow modeling is employed to demonstrate the quantifiable impact of the modifications discussed.
(cont.) Analytical calculations of ideal pond performance are compared to computer numerical flow modeling results, computed using the INTROGLLVHT modeling software. This comparison examines the sensitivity of pond performance to a number of variable factors including sludge accumulation and distribution, pond outlet geometry, and inlet flow symmetry. The largest effect and greatest sensitivity was found for unbalanced, asymmetric flows, yielding greatly reduced pond efficiency. Sludge accumulation had a significant effect on final effluent quality due to reduced pond volume and residence time. However, the distribution of a given volume of sludge and the spacing of pond outlets both had minimal effect on effluent quality. Recommendations for pond maintenance developed from this analysis include a careful balance of pond flow and strict adherence to a scheduled desludging routine.

After the September 11 attacks, Honduras committed to support the GWOT, but priorities in national objectives other than terrorism have kept the Honduran government from developing a strategy and the necessary counterterrorism infrastructure to combat this emerging threat. This research examines current threats in Latin America and Honduras in particular. It also suggests a developmental strategy to enhance the country[alpha]s capabilities to combat terrorism by the employment of instruments of national power in a multidimensional way capable to prevent, deter, and respond to terrorist acts. This study uses a brief analysis based on the concepts of suitability, feasibility, and acceptability in order to identify the risk that the proposed strategy could incur. The study concludes by proposing a series of recommendations that should minimize risk and make this strategy feasible for supporting the GWOT.

Texto completoResumen
The Río Pláttano Biosphere Reserve, a tropical rainforest reserve in the northeastern corner of Honduras, is home to several subsistence-based indigenous groups, including the Miskito, Pech and Garifuna, as well as the non-indigenous Ladinos. Communities within the reserve depend on forest resources, swidden agriculture, marine resources and/or small-scale ranching as the foundations for local economies. Regulations placed on these subsistence practices, after establishment of the biosphere reserve in 1980, have created unique and new pressures and resulted in a blend of traditional and innovative resource use. A notable result is the promotion of ecotourism as a solution for meeting the economic needs of local populations while conserving local resources. This thesis documents current resource use in the Miskito and Ladino communities of Banaka, Brans, and Fuente de Jacob, in the Río Pláttano Biosphere Reserve and the potential of ecotourism to maintain both local economies and consumption of tropical rainforest resources in these communities. Analysis suggests that a community-based approach to ecotourism can result in economic benefits and maintain local culture. This thesis documents current resource use (agricultural crops and trees, gathered and cultivated plants, tree-use, and hunting), resident perspectives on ecotourism development and industry, and provides the foundation for long-term monitoring and analysis on the effects of ecotomism on forest resource and land-use in the greater Banaka region.

Texto completoResumen
In 1982 the governments of Honduras and the United States signed a contract that established the Proyecto de Titulación de Tierras, or land titling project. This project was initiated primarily to provide titles to small coffee farmers on State-owned land. Among the expected consequences of the project were increased access to resources, especially credit, for small farmers and increased on-farm investment due to this access to credit and increased security. It was hoped that a greater use of credit and investment would increase farm production and therefore the income and well-being of the farmers involved. In this dissertation, the land titling project is placed within the context of the history of agrarian reform in Honduras. The titling project called for a baseline study and final evaluation. These were carried out in 1983 and 1988, respectively. The author was able to obtain these data and re-interview the same farmers in 1993. These farmers are from two regions, one of which was titled and another which was not. The interviews gathered data on production, credit, use of inputs, investments, income and general socio-economic indicators. These data are used to determine the extent to which the goals of the tiding project have been met. A stochastic frontier production function is used to estimate farm-level technical efficiency. Following this, these technical efficiency scores are regressed on various factors such as education, credit and technical assistance to estimate their possible effects on technical efficiency. Finally, simultaneous equations are used to estimate the relationships among these variables. In general, ten years after the start of the project, the original goals have not been achieved. This analysis found that titling does not affect technical efficiency, access to credit, or the use of inputs. Education and technical assistance are the two factors that are consistently the most significant in meeting the project's stated goals. This analysis suggests that basic education and technical assistance, rather than expensive land titling projects, should be promoted to enhance access to credit, the use of inputs and increased technical efficiency.

Lake Yojoa, Honduras is an important natural resource to the people of Honduras. The lake's water quality has been a controversial subject. This thesis describes a nutrient load analysis performed to gain a better understanding of the water quality. Loads were calculated for point sources, non-point sources, and other sources. These loads were applied to a trophic model to determine the lake's trophic status. The results of this study seem to point out that much about tropical limnology is unknown. Lake Yojoa appears to be a mesotrophic lake with nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. However, further field evaluation of the limiting nutrient and nutrient loadings is recommended in order to provide information for better management of the lake.

The Municipality of Las Vegas, Honduras is located immediately to the west of Lake Yojoa, the largest inland lake in Honduras. Beginning in 2005, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) began working with stakeholders around the lake to assess anthropogenic environmental impacts on the lake. In January 2008, a technical team composed of Dr. Eric Adams from MIT, Aridai Herrera a civil engineer from Malcolm Pirnie, and MIT students Anne Mikelonis and Matthew Hodge, traveled to Las Vegas to work with the Municipality on domestic wastewater discharge, one of the previously identified environmental impacts on Lake Yojoa. In preliminary discussions with the Municipality, the team identified three goals for the project: evaluate the performance of the existing wastewater treatment facility, test the possibility of enhancements to this facility, and evaluate options for expanded sewerage and wastewater treatment throughout Las Vegas. The results of this project are a set of three recommendations for the Municipality to improve wastewater treatment. First, regular maintenance of existing facilities is necessary to achieve optimal performance for existing wastewater infrastructure. Second, substantial non-waste water is entering the sewerage leading to an average daily flow of 1,000 L/person/day that has diluted concentrations of important wastewater contaminants. This situation makes any treatment difficult and prior to expanding sewerage, it is valuable to Las Vegas to investigate the source of non-waste water and to reduce the total flow to existing infrastructure. Finally, if the first two recommendations are acted upon, expanded treatment is subject to the constraints of Las Vegas, which are limited land availability and limited technical expertise.
(cont.) Given this situation, a low maintenance small footprint technology like Imhoff tanks or septic tanks will provide economically efficient primary wastewater treatment for the Municipality.

Texto completoResumen
Costs and benefits associated with erosion reduction and adoption of soil conservation practices for a representative farm in a watershed in Honduras are examined in a linear programming framework. Special attention is paid to income-soil loss tradeoffs, income-risk tradeoffs, and on the effect of different farmers' planning horizons on net farm income.
A representative farm model for the area was constructed to achieve the objectives of the study. Twelve farmers in the region were surveyed, crop budgets were prepared, and soil loss values were calculated to provide the information required to construct this representative farm.
A linear programming model that maximizes net farm income is used to examine the effect of different soil loss levels on farm income. A MOTAD model that minimizes deviation in income (risk) is used to determine risk levels while income and/or soil loss levels restrictions are imposed.
Results indicate that considerable reductions in the amount of soil loss can be achieved in the study area. Erosion is reduced from 328.24 ton./mn./year to 6.56 ton./mn./year1 when constraints are imposed on the model. The reduced erosion lowers income from L.5929.24/year for high erosion rates to L.2825.8l/year for low erosion rates. Low levels of soil erosion are achieved at the expense of higher levels of risk. High levels of income are associated with high levels of risk regardless of whether soil loss constraints exist or not. Small differences in income exist among the four planning horizons analyzed.
The best soil conservation practices for this region turned out to be the cultivation of coffee on the highest slopes, the use of live barriers and terraces, and the use of conventional and minimum tillage.Master of Science

Texto completoResumen
Dans de nombreux pays en développement, l’absence de sécurité juridique inhérente à la tenure des terres constitue un obstacle très sévère au développement socio-économique. La faiblesse des mécanismes d’enregistrement des droits réels et d’accès à l’information foncière affecte le fonctionnement du marché immobilier et diminue la confiance de la population envers les interventions étatiques en matière de protection des droits de la propriété foncière. Ceci a pour effet la création d’un marché informel des terres, qui affaiblit le potentiel économique des personnes n’ayant pas une sécurité juridique foncière.
Dans un tel contexte, des organismes internationaux comme la Banque mondiale, la Fédération des internationales des géomètres (FIG) et l’Organisation des Nations unies (ONU) encouragent les projets de réforme des processus d’administration des terres, par le développement de nouveaux systèmes cadastraux, intégrés aux registres de la propriété dans un même système d’information foncière, profitant du développement des nouvelles technologies de l’information (Williamson 1997).
La présente recherche vise à mettre en évidence les liens conceptuels existants entre la mise en place d’un système d’administration des terres moderne au Honduras. La méthodologie de l’étude de cas est utilisée pour analyser l’application de la Loi hondurienne sur la propriété, adoptée en 2004, et le développement d’un système d’information cadastrale polyvalent. L’hypothèse générale de l’étude stipule que la mise en place d’un système d’information cadastrale polyvalent est une opération préalable et nécessaire à l’atteinte des objectifs de la nouvelle Loi sur la propriété qui vise, notamment à renforcer la sécurité des titres fonciers, la fiscalité municipale et le contrôle de l’usage du sol.
Depuis la colonisation espagnole, le système hondurien d’administration des terres a toujours traité le cadastre et le registre de la propriété immobilière comme deux entités distinctes. La nouvelle Loi de 2004 introduit l’obligation de lier juridiquement et techniquement ces deux systèmes qui constituent les outils clés de cette réforme. L’ancien registre des transactions immobilières devient alors un véritable système d’enregistrement des titres de propriété.
Cette étude de cas met aussi en évidence l’importance de développer une infrastructure nationale de données géospatiales, afin de soutenir les institutions nationales qui participent aux processus de prise de décisions à caractère territorial (Ting et Williamson 2000).In many developing countries, the absence of legal safeguards surrounding land tenure constitutes a very sever obstacle to the socio-economic development. The weakness of mechanisms for recording real rights and access to land information affects the operation of land market and decrease the confidence of the population towards the official system of protection of ownership rights. This causes the creation of an informal land market, which generates weak economies located outside of the legal property system. In such a context, international organizations like the World Bank, the International Federation of Surveyors and the United Nations encourage reforms of land administration system, by the development of new cadastral system, integrated into property register in the same land information system, benefiting from the development of new information technologies (Williamson, 1997) Present research aims at highlighting the existing conceptual bonds between the installation of a modern land administration system in Honduras. The methodology of the case study is used to analyze the application of Honduran property Law, which was adopted in 2004. The general hypothesis of the study stipulates that the installation of a multi-purpose cadastral information system is an operation preliminary and necessary to attack the objectives of the new property Law (which aims at reinforcing the safeguards of the land titles, municipal taxation and the control of land use). Since Spanish colonization, the Honduran land administration system has always treated the cadastre and the property register as two distinct entities. The old register of rights transactions thus becomes a true system for recording land title documents. This case study also highlights the importance of developing a national spatial data infrastructure, in order to support the local and national institutions, which take part in the process of decision-making in territorial maters (Ting and Williamson, 2000)

Texto completoResumen
Water is an essential resource for human life. Even in the tropical environment of the Maya Lowlands, water scarcity is a concern, because the region cycles between abundant rainfall and seasonal droughts. To understand how societies flourished during periods of water scarcity, archaeologists have studied prehispanic water management in the Maya Lowlands. Yet, water management research has tended to focus predominantly on large urban Maya populations, excluding smaller-scale societies that face the same challenges associated with water scarcity. This study investigates the neighboring non-Maya society of Late Classic (A.D.650-900) Palmarejo in northwestern Honduras to explore how water management was organized in a rural setting. Utilizing GIS, soil science, and archaeological investigations, this study explores how Palmarejo's residents may have collected and stored water for certain sectors of the population. This investigation suggests that the elite may have legitimized their rights over water using monumental architecture and site planning.

Texto completoResumen
In 1742, the settlement of Augusta was established as an outpost of English royalization on Roatán Island, Honduras. This military camp housed a mix of English soldiers, English colonists, and local indigenous Miskitu peoples. While the settlement was occupied for only a brief span of seven years, the material record of the community provides insight into Miskitu-English interactions during the royalization process. Royalization encompassed strategies deployed by the English Crown to bring about loyalty to the state. In this dissertation, I discuss the concept of royalization from an agent-centered perspective to consider the intentions behind the occupants' usage of objects and spaces in everyday practice. This interdisciplinary research integrates documentary evidence with the results of four field seasons of archaeological investigations, which have unearthed mixed deposits of English and Miskitu material culture. I contend that such deposits indicate that Augusta's occupants were participants in the royalization process, but that these strategies were not fluid or enforced. The royalization of Augusta was complicated by a number of factors including the settlement's distance from the Crown, its local environment, and the diversity of its occupants. By considering the historical and archaeological evidence, I contend that elements of English lifestyles were integrated into Miskitu identity, and that this integration reveals some of the ways in which the process of royalization was adapted to the unique social and natural landscape of the western Caribbean.

A estrutura da provisão habitacional torna-se relevante para o Estado de Honduras a partir da segunda metade do século XX, quando foram realizadas as primeiras legislações voltadas à produção de moradias para o setor de baixa renda. Em 1957, o Instituto Nacional de Habitação (INVA) foi criado. Provisão posteriormente reforçada com a produção semi estatal promovida pelos Institutos de Aposentadoria e Pensões (IJPs). Sob esta abordagem, o objetivo da pesquisa é caracterizar a estrutura de provisão através da implementação das políticas de moradia decretadas, identificando os agentes, os programas realizados, a produção habitacional desenvolvida e as modalidades de financiamento. Por meio de uma investigação histórica documental de dados primários em arquivos públicos, buscam-se compreender quais eram as lógicas e os objetivos que impulsionaram as ações de 1957 a 2002. Analisa-se o contexto econômico, político e social que motivou a implementação das políticas publicas de habitação e origina uma análise da produção desenvolvida pelas IJPs e os resultados alcançados. Os números mostram que a produção habitacional promovida pelo Estado e pelos IJPs entre 1957-1982 foi de aproximadamente 76.639 unidades. A produção habitacional teve como objetivo proporcionar uma resposta habitacional aos dois maiores setores do Estado, funcionários públicos e sector de educação. Ao analisar essa produção em termos de distribuição espacial, os dados mostram que os dois principais centros urbanos, Tegucigalpa e San Pedro Sula, beneficiaram-se de 73% do total da produção urbana desenvolvida no período.The housing provision structure becomes relevant for the State of Honduras in the second half of the 20th century, when the first legislations aimed at housing production for the low income sector were undertaken. In 1957, the National Housing Institute (INVA) was created. This provision was later reinforced with the semi-state production promoted by the Retirement and Pension Institute (IJPs). Under this approach, the objective of the research will be to portray the housing provision structure through the implementation of the housing policies, identify the agents, the programs undertaken, the housing production developed and the financing methods. Through a historical investigation of documents of primary data in public archives, the goal is to understand the reasoning and objectives that drove the actions from 1957 to 2002. The economic, political and social context that motivated the implementation of the public housing policies will be examined and starts an analysis of the production by the IJPs and the results achieved. The figures show that the housing production promoted by the State and the IJPs between the years of 1957 and 2002 was approximately 76,639 units. Housing production aimed at providing a housing response to the two largest sectors of the State, public officials and the teacher sector. When analyzing this production in terms of spatial distribution, the data shows that the two main urban centers, Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula, benefited from 73% of the total housing production during the period.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis tested hypotheses about the response of Baird’s tapir to rising anthropogenic pressure in Honduras. Baird’s tapir is the largest land mammal native to the Neotropics, and was previously abundant in all countries between Mexico and Ecuador. Patterns in Baird’s tapir occupancy in Honduras were modelled to test the effect of a range of environmental variables on the distribution and abundance of the species. Analyses of the genetic structure of Baird’s tapir in Honduras revealed very little genetic diversity at the mitochondrial genome. Only two haplotypes were identified from 69 samples successfully genotyped, representing a remarkably low level of diversity, which is likely to affect the viability of the species in the long-term. Occupancy and population estimates were generated for four protected areas, and for the remaining regions in Honduras where Baird’s tapir have been confirmed to remain. Occupancy was found to be associated with environmental variables relating to accessibility. Although the population estimates generated here exceed previous estimates, evidence of ongoing poaching and deforestation of tapir habitat suggests that Baird’s tapir populations in Honduras may not be viable outside of the protected areas of La Moskitia. Population Viability Analyses for the remaining areas of tapir occupancy in Honduras demonstrate the vulnerability of the species to habitat fragmentation and hunting pressure. Annual surveys in Cusuco National Park (PNC) from 2009 to 2012 investigated the conservation status of the species in this tapir stronghold over the duration of this PhD project. Patch occupancy analysis demonstrated that Baird’s tapir display a distribution bias in PNC associated with accessibility, and identified that Baird’s tapir are suffering a population decline that has the potential to cause the extirpation of the species from this Park within the next few years.

Research suggests that teaching in international settings fosters professional growth and promotes tolerance for working in multicultural and linguistically diverse classrooms for U.S. teachers upon returning to the U.S. to work in schools. These studies portray teaching abroad as an unproblematic and neutral project, and narrowly focus on the benefit to the individual teacher during their temporary stay in a foreign country and when returning home to the U.S. Absent from these studies are two groups: 1) teachers from the U.S. who work in non-governmental organizations and private school settings abroad, but have no pedagogical training, and 2) host country citizens (unless they serve a purpose for the U.S. teacher, such as providing growth, teaching cultural nuances, etc.) These studies also lack an analysis of how international teaching, especially in bilingual and English-language contexts, affect the local community outside the bounds of the study’s setting. Scholars of transnational feminist theory suggest consideration of how these relationships shape not just the people who travel across nation-state borders, but also those who are affected in the local context. Scholars of critical pedagogy remind teachers that education is not only pedagogical, but also political and ideological. Grounded in these two theoretical frameworks, as well as Critical Discourse Analysis, this study examines English-language education and teaching in the Central American country of Honduras. The findings suggest that host country citizens express reservations about these partnerships. Although U.S. and international teachers second-guess the utility of English-language education in Honduras, they justify their presence teaching there because of their ability to speak English, and they define what success means in the future of their students.

A pesquisa elaborou um estudo de caso do golpe de Estado contra o presidente Manuel Zelaya em Honduras (2009), analisando de que modo o evento expressa um reordenamento das influências hegemônicas neoliberais na região, reconfigurando as correlações de força e influenciando o jogo geopolítico. Como referencial teórico, apresentamos nossa leitura sobre a teoria imperialista, tentando caracterizar a atual configuração política e econômica mundial na qual se insere o nosso objeto de estudo. Em seguida, se pretendeu elaborar um histórico da formação social-econômica e política de Honduras, marcando os momentos que possam ter relação histórica com o golpe de Estado de 2009. Para além da realidade estritamente hondurenha, buscamos entender qual é o papel que a região do Gran Caribe cumpriu e cumpre no tabuleiro geopolítico atual. No terceiro capítulo, analisamos o governo do presidente Manuel Zelaya e mergulhamos nos acontecimentos da crise institucional que culminou na quebra da ordem democrática no país. Finalmente, avaliamos as consequências imediatas do golpe para a sociedade hondurenha, no período que abrange o governo interino de Roberto Micheletti e os primeiros anos do governo de Porfírio Lobo Sosa, a partir de parâmetros de análise que compreendem aspectos da movimentação do capital estrangeiro (financeiro e industrial), violação de direitos humanos, mobilização popular em resistência ao golpe e âmbito internacional da crise. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The research produced a case study of the coup against President Manuel Zelaya in Honduras (2009), analyzing how the event expresses a reordering of neoliberal hegemonic influences in the region, reconfiguring the power correlations and influencing the geopolitical game. As a theoretical framework, we present our reading of the imperialist theory, trying to characterize the current political and economic world setting in which to insert the object of our study. Then, it was intended to develop a history of social-economic and policy formation of Honduras, marking the moments that may have historical relationship with the coup in 2009. Besides strictly Honduran reality, we seek to understand what is the role that the region Gran Caribe fulfilled and fulfills the current geopolitical chessboard. In the third chapter, we analyze the government of President Manuel Zelaya and dive into the events of the institutional crisis that culminated in the breakdown of the democratic order in the country. Finally, we assess the immediate consequences of the blow to the Honduran society, the period covered by the interim government of Roberto Micheletti and the first years of the government of Porfirio Lobo Sosa, from analysis of parameters that include aspects of foreign capital movement (financial and industrial), violation of human rights, popular mobilization in resistance to the coup and international influence.
