Resumo
Today the cities are environments conducive to the development of diseases, especially
respiratory diseases, as a function of their growth is common to see suspended
particulate materials from industrial, transport, burning of vegetation, burning of refuse,
which is aggravated the occurrence of houses without ventilation and excess moisture,
especially in outlying areas. As this research scenario, the city of Caldas Novas is
located in Goias State, holds the largest source of thermal waters of Brazil, has a fragile
physical environment in relation to the occupation process, mainly due to the water
table to drop in approximately 60% of urban area varies between 0 and 5 m deep. Sector
West of the city, which sits at the foot of the Serra de Caldas, and is the subject of this
research study, occupies an area of about 14km ² and a population of about 1634 people.
This study aims to understand the social and environmental influence on the incidence
of respiratory diseases in Caldas Novas (GO). To carr y out this work we chose to do a
study of integrated analysis of landscape elements (Geosystem), it was possible to
perform diagnosis of environmental health (respiratory diseases) in Sector West of the
city of Caldas Novas (GO). The integrated analysis shows correlation between rainfall,
urban development, social conditions and water table drop, aggravation of respiratory
diseases in the city. In this sense, these illnesses are the result of dynamic and complex
systems favored by the local landscape. But it is believed that although the influence of
all these environmental aspects, the water table has suspende a more intense, causing
moisture in homes and consequently the onset of mold which aggravates respiratory
diseases
