You can use the drop command in the 5th line. So, if you wanted to produce an estimate just for urban areas, drop those areas that are not urban with
drop hv025!=1
If you wanted just the second governorate, for example, use
drop hv024!=2

I could probably make the code work to produce the Gini coefficient by background variables, but it would take rewriting the code in a different way - not using summarize and not using the locals - but it seems easy enough just to add in the drop to select the cases you want.
