Diferenciais intra-urbanos no Município de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil: potencial de uso para o planejamento em saúde

Abstract

Based on the premise that spatial occupation by the population is a socially constructed process, the present study identified and grouped homogeneous sectors vis-à-vis living conditions in the municipality of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. Among socioeconomic variables from the Brazilian national census, the study identified and selected those which best represent the intra-urban differentials in living conditions in Florianópolis. The variables were categorized according to uniformity in the groups and orientation from the literature. Factor correspondence analysis was used for sector grouping. High income, low income, high schooling, illiteracy, and sub-standard garbage collection were the variables used to define grouping. As a result, the authors were able to divide the municipality into four homogeneous groups: two opposite groups having the best and worst schooling and income, and two median groups in which access to public services defines the hierarchical level. The northern and southern regions of Florianópolis were identified as receiving the greatest attention from the city administration. A heterogeneous distribution of households within sectors was identified, whereby Florianópolis was characterized as not presenting large agglomerations of poverty; however, this should not be interpreted as the absence of a poor population in the municipality.

Prediction of high-risk areas for visceral leishmaniasis using socioeconomic indicators and remote sensing data

“…In Piauí the situation is not different, having occurred an increase of 12% of the average income (1985–2006), contributing to the increase in the human development index from 0.57 to 0.70 (1991–2005) and to the reduction of the illiteracy rate from 41.7% to 23.3% (1991–2007) [17,18]. A possible alternative to minimize this problem would be employing a categorization of the indicators by strata of homogeneous areas according to living conditions [19,20]. …”

Análise espacial da endemia hansênica na área urbana do município de Fernandópolis/SP1

“…A localização geográfica dos grupos de maior prevalência ou risco das doenças tem sido motivo de inquietação de vários estudiosos. O desenvolvimento e aplicação de métodos diagnósticos coletivos, com o potencial de discriminar grupos ou áreas de risco no interior da coletividade e que sirvam de instrumento ao planejamento dos serviços de saúde têm sido um grande desafio para os epidemiologistas e planejadores do setor 5 .…”
