GEO_BD2000 (V101_BD2000) indicates the region of Bangladesh where the respondent was interviewed. DHS regions in the 2000 Bangladesh survey are equivalent to divisions.
Other sample years have their own sample-specific geography variables. There is also an integrated variable, GEO_BD1994_2018, that provides spatially consistent units over time.
A GIS map for GEO_BD2000 (in shapefile format) can be downloaded from the DHS Program Spatial Data Repository Boundaries page.
