Abstract:

The terrotorialization in health surveillance and everyday life as analytical categories guided the design of the present study that aimed,methodological framework of qualitative research, to understand factors involved in the use of individual water-supply sources as drinking water. We conducted semi-structured interviews with residents of 22 households set at a municipality in the Zona da Mata Mineira, who used waterindividual water-supply sources (IWSS). Reports were fully transcribed and processed by content analysis and were interpreted based on the psychosocial theory of social representations. It was possible to apprehend the social and affective components of social representations. The social component characterized by the representation of waterIWSS as clean and good seemed to drive or justify the \"resistance\" of individuals to use waterpublic supply. The affective component referred to the use of waterIWSS as a return to and protection of individuals’ origins, as a way to strengthen the identity of the respondents. The results point that perceptions and demands of the population might guide actions aimed to stimulate confidence in the waterthe public system and the choice of this source of supply contributing to health protection.
