ZALDUA, Graciela et al. Exigibility and justiciability from territorial epidemiology: An initial construction with communal actors. Anu. investig. [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.1, pp.85-96. ISSN 1851-1686.

Territorial Participative Epidemiology articulates knowledge and technologies from social sciences and community health to promote implied practices and social change. Interdiscipline and knowledge's democratization are based on a participative action perspective that includes diverse actors on monitoring and social audit of communitarian problems. Equality and antidiscrimination conjugate with ethical imperatives of exigibility and justiciability of health's right. Our objective is to transmit a preliminary diagnosis of actors and communitarian problems and priorities on collective health in communes 3 and 4, of Buenos Aires City, from the point of view of social actors. From Participatory Action Research and Critical Discourse Analysis, sources of information and instruments are triangulated, in co-management with health and legal local professionals and social organizations. Methodological tools used are: simple, participatory and dialectic observations; in-depth and participatory interviews; analysis of local reports. We visualize critical knots and gaps over perception of rights in population in social vulnerability, and lack of incorporation of practices and logics based in diversity of gender, social and cultural.

Keywords : Territorial epidemiology; Exigibility; Justiciability; Communal actors.
