PUBLIC POLICIES CONCERN TO INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE TRANSPORT AND ITS IMPACTS ON HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT INDICATORS IN UBERLÂNDIA, MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL

Abstract

Traffic in the urban area of Uberlândia becomes increasingly disorganized and unsure, compromising the population’s quality of life and affecting the safety and health of people, due to various conflicts and the emissions of pollutants coming from high automobile traffic. This study aimed to enable the Model DPSEEA (WHO) as an analytical tool of the impacts of direct related public policies and/or indirectly to the collective and individual transport systems in the health of the population of Uberlândia, MG. The data for the preparation of the matrix were collected in databases of scientific literature and virtual public domain. Indicators were selected to identify the Driving Forces (FM) and Pressures (P). For each level of the matrix, have been identified and related actions (A) to provide care and environmental health surveillance, which can contribute to decisions and managing risks associated with environmental health surveillance.
