Avaliação da dinâmica espacial da dengue em relação às questões socioambientais no distrito sanitário da COHAB no município de São Luís – MA

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the social and environmental conditions and public policies that influence the proliferation of Aedes Aegipty and consequent increase in dengue incidence, using as a model for the development of the study area for the Sanitary District of COHAB in São Luís - MA, which was structured to spatial public health in the region, possesses 63 districts with different infrastructure and socioeconomic indicators, arising from the large difference in the process of production and reproduction of urban space. This fact turns the locality concerned, the ideal environment for the collection and analysis of data relating to the advancement of the process of urbanization, which sprawl that, creates regions of high population density and great deficiency in sanitation systems, spreading diseases. From the use of hypothetical-deductive method, I set up the hypotheses to deduce implications and consequences of the human / landscape on sectors of society. It takes into account the systemic analysis to identify the social and environmental problems, using as a type of research, qualitative and GIS techniques related to proliferation of dengue with the growth of the city of São Luís Thus the study has aimed to map the spatial dynamics of Dengue; correlate trends, climate variability and change the spatial dynamics of the vector and to evaluate the urban environmental conditions, the socioeconomic and vector that focus on the vulnerability of the population to the incidence of dengue in the locality and analyze interaction between disease incidence and growth of the city and question vector of region involved in the study. Thus the work is carried out under a scenario that reflects the male / landscape, determining the development and interactions in modern society.
