“…He says that the processes of globalization accelerated the process of urbanization without the rationality associated with this process. The result of this "unplanned" urbanization is that many people and families who previously lived in rural centers were forced to move to urban regions, with less material and symbolic resources, and mostly in situations of poverty [25][26][27][28] .…”

Abstract Health promotion is a set of strategies that aim to improve the quality of life of individuals and populations. Since these strategies are based on social determinants of health, it is important to identify vulnerability issues in order to explore their impact on health care. The present study describes a case study showing the perception of women on poverty as violence and social vulnerability and the impact of the same on health. A qualitative study was performed, based on content analysis. The results are presented in narrative form and address: 1) poverty as social vulnerability; 2) poverty and perceptions of violence; 3) poverty and associated health outcomes. We found that poverty was a central question of social vulnerability which can be a determinant for women’s lives. It is therefore important to consider subjectivities regarding violence and social vulnerability on populations living in poverty when designing health promotion policies.

“…The current economic system with a strong focus on unsustainable exploitation of natural resources, in addition to the modern lifestyle that encourages mega-cities, has heavily modified natural environments ( Boger and Hart, 2008 ; Molina and Molina, 2004 ). This contributes to the generation of artificial environments ideal for the development and spread of new diseases, due to the agglomeration of people in small spaces and the lack of natural barriers that work as buffer zones between high density populated zones ( Hunter, 2017 ). Natural ecosystems not only provide economically valuable resources but also provide services to human well-being, through its natural ecological functions.…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global pandemic. Its relationship with environmental factors is an issue that has attracted the attention of scientists and governments. This article aims to deal with a possible association between COVID-19 and environmental factors and provide some recommendations for adequately controlling future epidemic threats. Environmental management through ecosystem services has a relevant role in exposing and spreading infectious diseases, reduction of pollutants, and control of climatic factors. Pollutants and viruses (such as COVID-19) produce negative immunological responses and share similar mechanisms of action. Therefore, they can have an additive and enhancing role in viral diseases. Significant associations between air pollution and COVID-19 have been reported. Particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10) can obstruct the airway, exacerbating cases of COVID-19. Some climatic factors have been shown to affect SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Yet, it is not well established if climatic factors might have a cause-effect relationship to the spreading of SARS-CoV-2. So far, positive as well as negative indirect environmental impacts have been reported, with negative impacts greater and more persistent. Too little is known about the current pandemic to evaluate whether there is an association between environment and positive COVID-19 cases. We recommend smart technology to collect data remotely, the implementation of “one health” approach between public health physicians and veterinarians, and the use of biodegradable medical supplies in future epidemic threats.

“…Mega kentleri teşvik eden modern yaşam tarzına ek olarak, doğal kaynakların yoğun olarak kullanımına güçlü bir şekilde odaklanan mevcut ekonomik sistem, doğal ortamları büyük ölçüde değiştirmiştir. Bu durum, insanların küçük alanlarda kümelenmesi ve yoğun nüfuslu bölgeler arasında tampon görevi yapabilecek doğal alanların olmaması nedeniyle yeni hastalıkların gelişmesi ve yayılmasına imkân hazırlayan yapay ortamların oluşturulmasına katkı sağlamıştır (Hunter, 2017). Doğal ekosistemler yalnızca ekonomik olarak değerli kaynaklar sağlamanın yanı sıra ekolojik işlevleri aracılığıyla insan refahına da hizmet etmektedir.…”

Yasemin HAYTA 2 & Şerif ÖNER 3Öz COVID-19'un dünya çapında yaşanan diğer salgınların sebep olduğu ölüm ve ekonomik kayıplara kıyasla çok daha fazla insanı olumsuz yönde etkileyeceği tahmin edilmektedir. COVID-19 başladığı andan günümüze neden olduğu etkilerinin yanı sıra toprak bozulması, ozon tabakasının incelmesi, kirlilik ve kentleşme gibi diğer küresel çevresel değişiklikler ve insan sağlığı açısından tartışılmaz bir tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Makalede, tarihte yaşanan pandemiler incelenmekte; odak noktası olarak COVID-19'un çevre üzerindeki etkileri vurgulanmaktır. Çalışma; Covid-19 sürecinde alınan acil durum önlemleri ile hava kalitesindeki iyileşme, temiz kumsallar, çevresel gürültünün azalması arasında önemli bir ilişki olduğunu göstermekte; geri dönüşümün azalması, atıkların yönetimi ve fiziksel alanların (su ve toprak) kirliliğine dikkat çekmektedir.
