The territorial approach in Sustainable and Healthy Territories: a conceptual enlargement from anthropology

ABSTRACT

The incorporation of the notion of territory, in the context of health production, is based on a regulated perspective, which informs it as a passive agent, subject to human action. However, when approaching organic concepts such as biointeraction, it is observed that the flows of agencies operate in the opposite direction to anthropocentrism. In view of this, as an objective, this essay intends to expand the territory dimension in the Sustainable and Healthy Territories approach, taking as a basis the territorial dimension in quilombola life. Adopting the Recôncavo Identity Territory as a starting point, it was perceived that it behaves as a living, shared and connectable space, which merges with the lives of the interlocutors of this study. Whether managing identities or therapeutic effects, it is through their ability to manage the individualterritory relationship that both life and the health-disease process are displaced. It was concluded that it is only by recomposing this relational framework that it will be able to guide a sustainable health production.
