A city where the emergence of new settlements, and the amount of population residing in them, makes it an empirical case, crucial for these studies. The links between habitat, health and poverty are evident, within the framework of socio-urban conditions. Beyond vulnerability in access to land and housing deficit, residents of settlements face various problems in terms of employment, food, health, education, environmental sanitation, etc. On the other hand, apart from structural constraints, it is interesting to know how they experience the adversities inherent in the environment and what are the individual or collective practices they develop to overcome everyday difficulties. Este artículo desarrolla un abordaje exploratorio, con análisis descriptivo, sobre distintos casos de asentamientos informales de la ciudad de Posadas, Argentina. Una ciudad en donde la emergencia de nuevos asentamientos y la cantidad de población que residen en ellos la convierte en un caso empírico, crucial para estos estudios. Se evidencian las vinculaciones entre hábitat, salud y pobreza, en el marco de los condicionantes socio-urbanos. Más allá de la vulnerabilidad en el acceso al suelo y al déficit de vivienda, los residentes de asentamientos atraviesan por problemas diversos en términos de empleo, alimentación, salud, educación, saneamiento ambiental, etc. Por otro lado, al margen de los constreñimientos estructurales, interesa conocer cómo experimentan las adversidades inherentes al entorno y cuáles son las prácticas individuales o colectivas que desarrollan para sortear las dificultades cotidianas. Este artigo desenvolve uma abordagem exploratória, com análise descritiva, de diferentes casos de assentamentos informais na cidade de Posadas, Argentina. Uma cidade onde o surgimento de novos assentamentos e a quantidade de população que neles habita o tornam um caso empírico, crucial para esses estudos. As ligações entre habitat, saúde e pobreza são evidentes, no quadro das condições socio-urbanas. Além da vulnerabilidade no acesso à terra e ao déficit habitacional, os moradores de assentamentos enfrentam vários problemas em termos de emprego, alimentação, saúde, educação, saneamento ambiental, etc. Por outro lado, além das restrições estruturais, é interessante saber como elas experimentam as adversidades inerentes ao meio ambiente e quais são as práticas individuais ou coletivas que desenvolvem para superar as dificuldades cotidianas.
