- Abstract
- The Region is the territory organized around a central place with relatively homogeneous spatial physical characteristics, with a greater subnational dimension, whose economic, social, and cultural interests are legally complementary for purposes of government and territorial administration. It is divided into provinces and must have a capital city that is the seat of its authorities: the Regional Intendant and, since 1992, the Regional Government, as well as other institutions, belonging to this territorial unit. Currently there are 15 regions in the country, each with its respective capital.[La Región es el territorio organizado en torno a un lugar central con características físico espaciales relativamente homogéneas, de mayor dimensión subnacional, cuyos intereses económicos, sociales y culturales se complementan jurídicamente para fines de gobierno y administración territorial.

- The Regions layer is a layer of the group of administrative and political boundaries. It is used for administrative purposes for the sampling and census data surveys. In the context of topological correction and geometric validations, which is carried out after the 2016 precensus, it is subject to update. Therefore, it is hereby warned that use of these data is strictly the responsibility of the people who request it, who must adopt the appropriate precautions and safeguards given its status as preliminary cartography.[La capa de Regiones es una capa del grupo de limites DPA.
