Studies on the development process encompass increasingly a dimension that considers, above all, the lives of individuals. In this context, health is considered a key element of development by to link the various dimensions of social organization expressing different levels of inequality and inequity through the social determinants. Thus, this research aims to analyze the elements of development that determine inequalities and social inequities in health in the city of Campina Grande-PB. Therefore, it links to a quali-quantitative approach in which the following techniques for collecting information and data will be used: a) documentary survey and data on health territories; b) spatial data in geographic information system environment; c) development and implementation of questionnaires and individual interviews. Associated with these techniques, we highlight the content analysis and discourse as procedures for working the information acquired. It was found from the distribution of health facilities, the incidence of different types of diseases, quantity of bedridden people of substance-dependent individuals and households without sanitation, the territories Adalberto Caesar II, Jeremiah II and Mutirão II are those with the highest risk of health conditions in the city. Moreover, seeking to assess the social capital as another determinant of health, we investigated the perception of the population about the inhibitors and drivers of health in the territories. Thus, it was evidenced that the population, despite combining inhibitors and health thrusters political, socioeconomic and behavioral dimensions, and emphasized aspects of prevention and health promotion, showed an impairment of their capital in health. This fact is due to both the way the inhibitors elements and drivers were highlighted and the outstanding quantitative, as the absence in the speech of respondents important elements that directly determine the health conditions in the different territorial scales, even in that was crafted this search.
