The San Pedro Zacapa quadrangle lies along the valley of the Río Ulúa, just southwest of Lago de Yojoa in west-central Honduras. Most of the area lies within the sierras of northern Central America; volcanic ranges and plateaus encroach upon the quadrangle from the south. No pre-Cretaceous rocks are exposed, but a basement of Paleozoic or older low grade metasediments and metavolcanic rocks is known to underlie this region. Very probably a thick section of Jurassic continental clastic strata is also present below the Cretaceous units. The oldest exposed strata belong to the Albian Atima Formation, carbonate shelf deposits of thick-bedded micrite. Late Cretaceous-early Tertiary redbeds of the Valle de Ángeles Group conformably overlie the Atima limestone. The redbeds have been informally divided into three members: a lower member of coarse continental clastic strata, a middle member of Cenomanian shallow marine limestone, and an upper member of fine-grained redbeds with associated gypsum, limestone conglomerate, and coarse metamorphic-rock conglomerate. The Cenomanian limestone member probably is not correlative with the Esquías limestone (which is thought to be Eocene, and does not crop out in the map area). Previous reports included the Cenomanian limestone within the Atima Formation; however, the extensive redbed section separating the limestones makes it apparent that the upper limestone is a part of the Valle de Ángeles Group. After deposition of the Valle de Ángeles limestone member, the region was subjected to late Cretaceous-early Tertiary deformation which produced normal faults and east-trending, broad, open folds in the Atima Formation and lower members of the Valle de Ángeles Group. Limestone conglomerate was shed into the central part of the quadrangle from upfaulted limestone highlands to the northeast. A quartz microdiorite was emplaced at Cerro Lavanderos. To the southeast more severe deformation resulted in the Montaña de Comayagua structural belt, which trends N. 60° W. across central Honduras. Fine-grained andesitic flow rocks of the Matagalpa Formation were erupted subaerially across eroded Mesozoic strata beginning in Oligocene time. These eruptions were probably related to subduction along the Middle America Trench. Following a quiescent period, voluminous mid-Miocene and Pliocene ignimbrites with associated tuffaceous strata and flows were deposited nonconformably over Matagalpa rocks throughout much of northern Central America. The Zacapa area lies to the north of the main accumulations of Padre Miguel ignimbrites; fluviatile tuffaceous strata comprise the bulk of the Padre Miguel Group in the map area. A 400 meter thick pile of basaltic flows was built up around a local eruptive center along the Ulúa fault system. Late Cenozoic normal faulting, primarily along northwest and northeast trends, has occurred almost continuously since Matagalpa time. The Santa Bárbara graben, a major depression with more than 1500 meters of structural relief, extends from the south-central part of the Zacapa quadrangle for thirty-five kilometers to the northwest. North of the map area the graben is bounded by a large horst block which appears to have been uplifted by a deep-seated intrusion. Important silver and base metal mineralization at El Mochito is associated with this intrusion. During Plio-Pleistocene time the Santa Bárbara graben was partially infilled by up to 200 meters of valley fill conglomerate, sandstone, and siltstone derived primarily from Tertiary volcanic units, but including redbed detritus as well. Present-day streams are removing this fill and down-cutting into older units. Minor Quaternary basalt eruptions occurred at the north end of Lago de Yojoa, and within the map area a small Quaternary (?) eruption issued from a fault along the Horconcitos horst. Small pockets of stibnite and impure gypsum are the only deposits of economic interest in the Zacapa quadrangle. / text

No entanto, o Mitch, como é conhecido, não foi apenas a maior catástrofe natural que assolou o país. Foi também o elemento revelador do preocupante drama social que vive o país ao deixar em evidência sua fragilidade institucional, suas profundas mazelas sociais e sua grande vulnerabilidade ambiental. Com a devastação, veio à tona também, a urgência de refletir sobre a realidade nacional e a necessidade de pensar não apenas na reconstrução, mas, especialmente, na transformação do país e da própria estrutura social. Ao mesmo tempo, com a destruição quase total do sistema produtivo, era preciso buscar soluções e novos caminhos para equilibrar as contas nacionais em curto prazo. O turismo foi um dos caminhos encontrados. Espera-se que, em longo prazo, o desenvolvimento do setor contribua, igualmente, para alcançar melhores condições de vida para os hondurenhos e com o fortalecimento da identidade nacional. Daí a crescente importância do turismo no contexto sócio econômico do país, pós-Mitch, e a necessidade de incorporar a educação e, especialmente, a educação ambiental nas políticas e ações dirigidas a desenvolver o turismo de forma efetivamente sustentável num país de grandes carências e que depende em grande medida, de seus recursos naturais e culturais para seu desenvolvimento. Esses diferentes aspectos da realidade hondurenha serão abordado nesse trabalho. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The devastation brought by Hurricane Mitch in Honduras in October 1998 caused a national tragedy. Mitch was not only the worst natural catastrophe to hit the country, but also the force responsible for unveiling the worrisome social drama present in Honduras, as it revealed the country’s institutional fragility, as well as its deep social problems and environmental vulnerability. Together with Mitch’s devastation, came about the urgent need for reflection not only on the national reality and the reconstruction of the country, but more importantly on the imperative need of transforming it and its social structure. In this context, due to the almost total destruction of the productive system, it became necessary to find solutions and new ways of bringing Honduras’s national accounts to a balance in a short period of time. Tourism was chosen as one way out. It is hoped that in the long run the development of this sector contributes to the achievement of better living conditions for the Honduran population as well as to the strengthening of national identity. In light of the increasing importance of tourism to improve the economic and social situation of the country after the passage of hurricane Mitch, it is necessary to incorporate education, especially environmental education, in the policies and initiatives of the tourism sector, in order to attain a truly sustainable development of tourism. This is particularly essential in a country which depends mainly on its natural and cultural resources to foster its development and has so many social and environmental concerns.

El presente trabajo tiene como fin crear un espacio literario para la poesía femenina en Honduras y rescatar de algún modo el legado literario de Amanda Castro. La mujer y su realidad es un eje fundamental en el imaginario poético de Castro. En su poesía la poeta celebra la valentía, el valor y la esencia de la mujer. Sin embargo, la poeta también utiliza su poesía para denunciar los abusos e injusticias contra la mujer. De la misma manera, a través de su obra, la poeta promueve una liberación sexual femenina y desnuda una realidad lésbica en una sociedad donde no hay espacio para la homosexualidad. Además, la poeta explora sus raíces indígenas y recrea mediante palabras y sueños el pasado desde una perspectiva indígena. Finalmente, la escritora le rinde tributo a la muerte generando una reflexión fascinante sobre la vida y su fugacidad.

Não obstante, as carências socioeconômicas das populações que são mais afetadas por essa doença diminuem as possibilidades de construir casas com materiais diferentes ao barro. Diferentes intervenções tem sido realizadas com o objetivo de melhorar as condições dos lares, não obstante não tem conseguido atender as demandas da população. Na América Central diferentes instituições tem utilizado a abordagem ecossistêmica para promover a utilização de materiais locais para melhorar os lares e controlar a transmissão vetorial da doença de Chagas. Em Honduras muitas comunidades estão expostas ao risco de contrair Chagas. Assim em 2011 uma intervenção foi iniciada com o objetivo de informar a população sobre a transmissão e prevenção da doença e motivando-as na utilização de materiais locais para a benfeitoria das casas. No presente trabalho realizou-se uma análise de redes sociais para conhecer as características individuais e relacionais associadas a adoção de materiais locais para a benfeitoria das casas e redução no risco de contrair a doença. Selecionou-se uma comunidade do estado de Intibucá para realizar o estudo de duas redes sociais: a comunicação sobre temas relacionados com a doença de Chagas e outra de colaboração para a benfeitoria das casas. Os resultados revelam que 75% (setenta e cinco porcento) da população adotou a técnica para o melhoramento dos lares e prevenção da doença. A adoção foi associada com as relações de colaboração principalmente entre as mulheres e os homens. As mulheres que colaboraram com homens tiveram maior probabilidade de adotar do que aquelas que não colaboraram. A condição socioeconômica foi uma característica individual mais associada a adoção da inovação para as mulheres, oposto aos homens que tiveram maior probabilidade de adotar segundo o nível de educação e participação nas atividades lideradas pelo projeto. A rede de comunicação evidenciou que os homens participam mais ativamente que as mulheres para comunicar temas relacionados com a doença de Chagas. Também, que essa rede possibilita aos membros da comunidade ter conhecimentos sobre a transmissão e prevenção da enfermidade. A análise de redes sociais contribuiu na compreensão dos aspectos da adoção de inovações no contexto hondurenho úteis para identificar estratégias que podem contribuir com o controle da doença de Chagas e melhorar a qualidade de vida da população. / The most effective way to control and reduce risks of Chagas disease is improving traditional housing conditions. However, as poor social conditions are the main reason why communities build houses with mud, different interventions have had limited success in improving housing. In Central America different institutions used an ecohealth approach to promote the use of local materials in traditional housing aiming at controlling Chagas exposure. In Honduras, many communities are highly exposed to Chagas disease and a participatory intervention started in 2011 to inform people about the transmission and prevention of the disease and to motivate them to adapt their houses using local materials. In this work, a social network analysis was used to investigate the adoption of the use of local materials in improving housing to reduce risk of Chagas disease. One village in Intibucá was selected to map two community social networks: the discussion network about Chagas issues and the colaboration network to improve housing. Seventy five of the population had adopted the technique to improve housing to prevent the disease. Adoption was associated with the number of individuals in the collaboration personal networks for women and men. Some differences were found between genders. Women who colaborated with men were more likely to adopt the house intervention than those who did not. Socioeconomic conditions were found to be more important for women who adopte it, as opposed to men, who were more affected by education and participation in activities. However, men were more likely to communicate on Chagas issues than women. Besides the education and socioeconomic conditions, communication was associated with knowledge about transmission and disease prevention. Finally, research permitted greater comprehension of aspects related to adoption of innovations in Honduras. It is useful to identify strategies to control Chagas disease and improve well-being.
