Indicador de salubridade ambiental: variações da formulação e usos do indicador no Brasil

Abstract

Thus, this study aimed to evaluate ISA application state of the art in Brazil, by the identification of the progress, gaps, and challenges of its use. An extensive literature investigation was performed in order to find studies available in electronic media that used ISA. We identified and analyzed 60 cases.The Northeast and South regions are those with the greatest number of studies, and the majority of them (41.6%) are result of master' s dissertations.Each study uses an average of six first order indicators, and the literature review is the predominant method for choosing and evaluating them.Finally, we showed that the differences between the ISAs are actually a drawback for this indicator use. Since each study has peculiarities in terms of indicators, weights, and criteria calculation, it is only possible to compare the results from the same study over time, but these differences preclude the comparison between the values obtained in different studies.

Branched hierarchization of indicators related to rural housing for environmental health evaluation

“…The variables are related to the referential surveys carried out and are consistent with Figure 1, presented previously. Pereira et al 1972, Pritsch et al 2002, Razzolini & Günther 2008, Santos et al 2018, Santos 2016, Silva 2006, Soares et al 2002, Sousa et al 2017, Teixeira et al 2018, Viana & Siman 2015, Waldman et al 1997. Source: prepared by the authors.…”

“…In a survey conducted byTeixeira et al (2018), limited studies were found related to rural communities regarding health issues. Accordingly,Bernardes et al (2018) assert that, although the rural population is significant, the number of publications and indicators related to studies on this population is still far short of what is desired.…”

Proposição e aplicação de um índice de salubridade ambiental em aglomerados rurais

“…Nesse contexto, para determinação da salubridade ambiental, foi proposto o indicador de salubridade ambiental (ISA) pelo Conselho Estadual de Saneamento (Conesan) 6 , a partir do qual tem se adaptado sua composição original, com a inclusão e a exclusão de indicadores e/ou subindicadores e a alteração de seus pesos. Muitas vezes isso ocorre de forma arbitrária ou por meio da replicação de estudos existentes, considerando-se, ou não, as peculiaridades da região analisada [7][8][9] . A seleção de indicadores para compor o ISA deve ser feita de forma criteriosa e interrelacionada a seu problema e objetivo de análise.…”
