SUMMARY:

The implementation of a Basic Health Unit (UBS) in a given location, aims to meet the demands of the surrounding population, with the aim of decentralizing care and thus relieve hospitals, thus enabling more effective initial access to healthcare services. The UBSs are Primary Care establishments, that is, they are the preferential gateway to the Unified Health System (SUS), being structured with the purpose of assisting up to 80% of health problems, without the need for referral to hospitals. This study aimed to spatially analyze the relationship between the coverage areas and coverage of basic health units through the use of spatial analysis techniques in the urban region of the municipality of Santarém-PA, in the year 2014. A spatial analysis was carried out. through the census sectors of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) to identify the areas covered by the UBSs, through an open-source geographic information system (GIS) (free software) known as QGIS that allows the visualization, editing and analysis of Geospatial data. After that, participatory mapping was carried out, through the identification of the areas of action of each of the community health agents allocated in the UBSs in the urban region of the municipality of Santarém. Using spatial analysis, it was possible to map and measure the coverage areas of each UBS and their respective coverage areas and uncovered areas. Using the administrative zones of the municipality of Santarém to organize the neighborhoods, it was possible to identify that the west and north zones had the largest coverage area, corresponding to 65.66% and 56.45% of their territories respectively. The South zone had the smallest coverage area of its territory with 36.13% and consequently the largest uncovered area, with 63.78%. We conclude that the use of spatial analysis techniques in the health area as a decision support tool is essential in the process of identifying the most vulnerable regions for the development of diseases, in addition to being an important tool in monitoring the areas covered by the UBS, enabling the planning of interventions and monitoring according to the real needs of the assisted population.
