0251/2017 - Metodologia participativa como instrumento para a territorialização das ações da vigilância em saúde ambiental. Participatory methodology as an instrument for the territorialization of surveillance actions in environmental health.
O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma metodologia de territorialização em saúde construída a partir das experiências dos agentes de controle de endemias e saúde ambiental na Região Metropolitana do Recife (RMR). Foram realizadas dez oficinas de trabalho com a participação de trezentos agentes e supervisores de vigilância em saúde que atuam em municípios da RMR. Utilizou-se de técnicas como aplicação de questionários, entrevistas e discussões dirigidas. Os resultados apontam que é incipiente a incorporação de conceitos geográficos para consolidar as ações de campo da vigilância em saúde. Adota-se predominantemente o território numa perspectiva administrava e a territorialização é usada como a simples divisão do território para o desenvolvimento das ações. Entretanto, há um entendimento e consenso da necessidade de compreensão dos conhecimentos geográficos, fato que ficou expresso pela rica construção coletiva de um modelo de territorialização participativa que deve envolver uma gama de atores sociais. Concluiu-se que, na prática, os agentes de vigilância possuem habilidades significativas para participarem da gestão do território e do processo de territorialização, não apenas coletando dados, mas principalmente intervindo em prol do bem estar coletivo.

Abstract:
The aim of this article is to present a methodology of territorialization in health surveillance constructedthe experiences of the agents of endemics control and environmental health in the Metropolitan Region of Recife (RMR). Ten workshops were held with the participation of three hundred health surveillance agents and supervisors who work in four municipalities of the RMR. Techniques such as application of questionnaires, interviews and directed discussions were used. The results indicate that the incorporation of geographical concepts to consolidate the field actions of health surveillance is incipient. The territory is predominantly adoptedan administrative perspective, and the territorialization is used as a simple division of territory for the development of actions. However, there is an understanding and consensus of the need to understand the geographic knowledge, a fact that was expressed by the rich collective construction of a model of participatory territorialization that should involve a range of social actors. It was concluded that, in practice, surveillance agents have significant abilities to participate in territorial management and the territorialization process, not only collecting data, but mainly intervening for the collective wellbeing.
