Abstract: Diagnoses of living conditions and health status, the constitutive elements for the reproduction of social life in various places, are listed and treated as contents disconnected from the territory. The recognition of social dynamics, habits, and customs is highly important for the determination of human health vulnerabilities, which originate in the interactions of social groups in given geographic spaces. The full use of the territory as a strategy for analyzing and intervening in health conditions presuppos… Show more

“…These contra-hegemonic experiences, which are peripheral to the organizational structure of Brazil's public health system, have existed since the beginnings of the SUS, constituting social practices that yield important conceptual and methodological advances that seek to cross the boundaries between that which institutes and that which is instituted. A number of themes, concepts and methods are incorporated into this process, among which the following: territory and territorialization, including geoprocessing tools for sociospatial analysis of health problems 8 ; complexity and vulnerability, which help think in terms of different spatial and temporal scales for understanding and modeling problems [9][10][11] ; interfaces between the environmental and risk sciences and, more recently, political ecology in socio-environmental contexts of greater vulnerability and injustice 12 ; and the ecosystem approach to health as a transdisciplinary, theoretical, and methodological alternative for community interventions 13 .…”

“…Recognizing social dynamics, habits and customs is of great importance in determining vulnerabilities and risk and protection factors for human health, originating in interactions of social groups in specifi c geographical spaces. 20 Therefore, health surveillance has a more encompassing concept, beyond simple analysis of the situation or institutional integration between environmental and epidemiological health surveillance. It foresees interventions in health problems; the emphasis is on problems which require continuous attention and monitoring; operationalizing the concept of social determination and its implications on factors of protection and risk and preventing harm; coordinating actions of promotion and prevention and care; inter-sector actions; actions within the territory; and interventions informed by evidence on the type of operations which promote health.…”

“…However, the concept of territory, originated in Geography, is more compatible with collective health practices, where territory is the space lived by people (Santos, 2003), and also is the setting where all enterprises and institutions act. So the concept of geographic space represents a category of synthesis and convergence which generates the several processes involved in life conditions, environment and health of populations (Barcellos et al, 2002), and holds a large potential to explain and identify problems (Monken & Barcellos, 2005). This concept of geographic space, of territory-process, which is not incompatible with that of jurisdiction, has been more employed in family healfh, since it is articulated with the proposals to change the health care model.…”
