Território da saúde: os diversos olhares sobre o território da saúde no processo saúde doença

Abstract

After several transformations in the health sector, the category of space has been quite developed in order to guarantee a basic social right, having a fundamental approach for analyzing and understanding the population, flows and conditions experienced in space-time. Based on this assumption, this research aims to analyze and present the different views on the health territory in the health-disease process. In this way, it went through bibliographic research with documentary analysis. Among the discussion present in the research is the characterization of the health territory as a space that appropriates itself in a way and the importance of regionalization expands in actions, being a reference among the importance of territorialization. Likewise, the concept of territory and territoriality was approached, emphasizing its understanding and applicability, relating the specific spatial possibilities about the agents / subjects, groups / individuals. It is concluded that the multiple models of approach have limited value if studied only, however, they allow the development of the study, techniques and planning of public policies.
