Abstract

In this paper we discuss the effectiveness or not of sanitation policies and its link with the definition of public health policies, in line with the forms of participation in deliberative bodies. Our question reports to the social control for policy issues for sanitation, whose appropriate solutions promote the welfare and preventing diseases. From a regional crop evaluates the perception of the building priorities in local health systems. For the analysis, from a methodological point of view, were examined the town health plans about consumption water, sanitary sewage, solid and liquid waste destination. To collect material were examined all local health plans and interviewed advisers on public policy built on its deliberative space, their characteristics and constraints. The results indicate a priority tendency to the disease and its effects on the repercussions scope of space. The plans tend to be brief or even omit the environmental issues and the promotion of well-being as a nexus between health environment is absent on the horizon of this form of social control.
