Análise dos parâmetros urbanísticos da implantação de equipamentos urbanos de atenção primária à saúde

Abstract

In Brazil, health and social well-being are rights guaranteed by the State, through the Federal Constitution of 1988. In the scope of health, the main program created by the national legislative system is SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde), which is, one of the largest and most complex public health systems in the world. SUS management is participatory among the three federative entities: the Union, the States and the municipalities. The hierarchy of SUS, and the consequent role of municipalities in this process, is a fundamental part of this study. Understanding the space, its organization and the social profile of its inhabitants, are important bases of support for the promotion of health and collective well-being. This research seeks to analyze the parameters involved in the definition of locations where the Basic Health Units (UBS’s) are implanted, identifying the influence of such parameters in the unrestricted access to the public service. Through studies on the subject, physical analysis of the territory, urban infrastructure and the social profile of the local population, we seek to verify possible relationships between: the demand for the service and its offer. The present research has as its study area the urban perimeter of the city of Juiz de Fora - MG, where, according to the social profile of its population and the availability of data for characterization, Planning Regions will be selected for analysis. The data covered in the dissertation mix sources from the public domain, surveys of the physical space collected in loco and through Geographic Information Systems (GIS). To define the results, sample selection criteria and means of characterizing them were developed, which highlights the finding of demographic density, as the main parameter in the definition of locations for the implementation of Basic Health Units (UBS’s) and the possible relationship between the number of units and the Areas of Special Social Interest (AEIS) in the municipality.
