A maneira como as sociedades humanas se relacionam com a natureza ganha relevância diante do desafio global de crescimento populacional nas áreas urbanas e os efeitos da mudança climática. Nesse contexto, mostra-se oportuno relacionar os conceitos de biofilia e design biofílico à questão da sustentabilidade. O objetivo do artigo é trazer apontamentos e verificar indicativos de sustentabilidade relacionados à biofilia. Com metodologia de revisão bibliográfica não sistematizada sobre a temática biofilia e sustentabilidade urbana, discute-se neste artigo interfaces conceituais do planejamento urbano ecológico, cidades sustentáveis e cidades biofílicas. Entende-se que a adoção da visão biofílica no planejamento das cidades, que permeia projetos, técnicas urbanas, políticas públicas e iniciativas de preservação e educação ambiental, pode contribuir para a sustentabilidade e resiliência das cidades e colaborar com o alcance dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável proposto pela Organização das Nações Unidas.
INTRODUCTION The novel coronavirus, called SARS-CoV-2, has as its main factor of the disease spreading the transmission between humans. COVID-19 is the name given by the World Health Organization (WHO) to identify the disease caused by this agent. Portugal is currently experiencing the pandemic Mitigation phase, in which, in addition to community transmission, it is assumed that there is local transmission in a closed environment. This disease was recognized by the WHO and by the Portugal Directorate-General of Health as Occupational Disease in a health care environment. OBJECTIVE Evaluate and characterize the presumed cases of occupational disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, among workers with COVID-19, considering the respective interpretation of the causal nexus, individually. METHODS Retrospective, descriptive, observational study (case-series), carried out between march and july 2020 in workers of a Portuguese oncology institute, dedicated to provide care for patients with cancer, reviewing files in the clinical processes of the occupational health service software (UTILSST®). It was considered the infection of workers with SARS-COV-2, as an inclusion criterion. RESULTS 41 workers were diagnosed with COVID-19, with an average age of 43.70 ± 11.63 years. Of these, 87.80% (n= 36) were female. The professional category with the highest infection rate in the institution was the auxiliaries of nursing [46.34%, n= 19], followed by nurses [39.02%, n = 16]. The most affected service was a Medical Oncology Service [31.4%, n= 11]. In the studied population, the prevalence of cases presumed to be Occupational Disease was 80.49% (n= 33). Of these, 48.5% (n= 16) were by direct contact with an infected patient, 30.3% (n = 10) without a known index case, but with a diagnosis obtained in “Disease mitigation phase” and 21.2% (n=7) by contact with an infected worker. In 19.51% (n= 8) of all the cases, no Occupational Disease was presumed, due to contact with an infected index case in a social/ family environment. CONCLUSION The main sources of nosocomial transmission with an assumed causal nexus are patients with COVID-19. It is essential to put into practice and ensure the maintenance of adequate collective and individual protection measures to combat this disease, as well as ensuring a permanent update of the institution’s infection control program so that the risk of exposure is controlled.

resumo Neste artigo analisamos as condições de vulnerabilidades social e em saúde e a segregação residencial no município de São Paulo e o potencial uso de medidas científicas para instrumentos de financiamento urbano enquanto política pública promotora de inclusão socioterritorial. A pesquisa investiga quatro problemas complementares, com enfoques inter e multi-disciplinares, ao analisar: (i) as evidências que vinculam as condições de saúde e vulnerabilidade socioespacial no território; (ii) os principais indicadores das condições de segregação residencial e desigualdades socioespaciais; (iii) os principais instrumentos de financiamento urbano existentes na política fundiária com maior potencial de utilização no financiamento da mitigação das desigualdades sociais e em saúde no uso do território. Ao apontar a carência da utilização de evidências empíricas, indicadores baseados em pesquisa científica, na aplicação dos instrumentos de financiamento urbano identificados como promotores da mitigação das desigualdades, o artigo discute o aperfeiçoamento do instrumento, com base em indicadores espacializados de vulnerabilidade social e em saúde urbana, colocando-o como potente ferramenta de política pública multisetorial integrada e territorializada.
