Abstract

Honduras´ western region is a complex territory in all its settings: social, economic, environmental, ethnic, cultural and historical; besides its constant process of change and adaptation in regard to the contradiction of its forces. The region is characterized by poverty, vulnerability, inequality and social exclusion, with low standards of human development. This article presents these problems which must be studied from the academy, especially in postgraduate spaces, in order to build new roads that may lead to local development scenarios. The emphasis on regional context values and the trascendental role that the universities holds must recover the production of knowledge by scientific research means.

The study tries to complete and take ideas from those elements that have supplied new probabilities to build new roads where all the population has the opportunity to participate with their own experiences, dreams, ideas, and more exclusive actions for the contribution of potential development. Universities must comprehend these realities through the contribution of research. The beginning process must start in the undergraduate programs. The postgraduate programs must be able to create spaces to deepen these studies much further.
