Abstract

This article aims to discuss the strategies offered by reflective fields and actions proposed by the studies on healthy housing and biosafety, noting them as tools that can be applied in diagnostics of environments built for the analysis of risk factors, on aspects related to environmental quality. As a methodology, we opted for the first exploratory research to discuss the healthy housing and biosecurity as analytical brackets to point out existing risk factors in built environments, based on the field research carried out in irregular human settlements. Then, bibliographical research was used to achieve the theoretical conceptual deepening implied in the formulations of strategies pertinent to the two fields. As results were observed between both interfaces and found to complement each other and can contribute to the realization of a checklist in built environments, identifying internal and external factors, in order to promote safety and quality. To clarify the understanding of the data analyzed, we identified which were the fundamental conditions for healthy and safe built environments. Conclusively, the relevance of transformative actions that are capable of guiding a checklist in built environments was highlighted.
