Description
Espace, populations, sociétés - Année 1995 - Volume 13 - Numéro 1 - Pages 59-65Des études sur les grandes endémies à l'analyse des relations entre urbanisation et santé, les recherches en géographie de la santé constituent un fil directeur des travaux menés à l'ORSTOM en Afrique. Mais, loin de devenir une discipline autonome, la géographie de la santé s'est de plus en plus affirmée comme une façon comme une autre de faire de la géographie : la géographie des grandes endémies est inséparable des modes d'occupation de l'espace, de même que les différentiels d'état de santé en ville sont liés aux formes de ségrégation spatiale et de territorialisation. En retour, la démarche et les méthodes des géographes contribuent à des avancées décisives dans l'étude épidémiologique des problèmes de santé qui affectent le Tiers Monde.
From Geography of Great Endemic Diseases to Geography of Health and to Geography : Twenty Years of orstom's Research in Africa.
From the studies on the great endemic diseases to the analysis of the relationships between urbanization and health, research into geography of health has always been a main theme of the work run in Africa by the ORSTOM researchers. But, far from being an independent discipline, geography of health has always been asserting itself only as a way of doing geography : geography of great endemic diseases cannot be isolated from human occupation forms, as differential health conditions are linked to spatial segregation forms and to territorialization. In return, geographers' processes and methodologies are contributing to decisive progress in epidemiological study on health problems in the developing countries.
