RESUMO:

The dissertation ‘Environmental and social determinants and the perception of quality of life in a vulnerable community in the Mato Grosso Pantanal’ addresses the complex relationship between public health, socio-environmental conditions and parasitic diseases in vulnerable populations in the municipality of Cáceres, Mato Grosso, Brazil. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the studies presented analyze how environmental factors, such as poor sanitation and proximity to water bodies, are associated with the occurrence of enteroparasitosis and the perception of quality of life in low-income communities. This dissertation is structured into two distinct articles. The first article presents an analysis of the prevalence of enteroparasites among residents of a peri-urban neighborhood in the municipality of Cáceres, correlating the parasitological findings with socioeconomic and environmental factors. The results indicated a higher prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides, suggesting the persistence of transmission cycles linked to soil contamination and inadequate sanitation infrastructure. The second article aimed to explore the perception of quality of life in relation to socio-environmental conditions in this same vulnerable peri-urban Community. The analysis revealed that, despite deficiencies in basic sanitation and low income, the perception of well-being was high, highlighting the role of social networks and the feeling of community belonging in the subjective construction of quality of life. The thesis highlights the urgent need for structural interventions in the communities studied, aimed at improving sanitary conditions and public health.
