For the theoretical background of the study population are employed concepts relevant to the demographic transition and epidemiological transition, to forced migration, the migratory networks and to population characteristics (sex, age, color, origin and its variations) who provided the information for the analysis of the state of the population at different historical moments. The Historical Geography complete the theoretical investigation of this, as many geographical features require historical studies for a satisfactory explanation of how they arrived at what they are today. The photographs, statements, books and records of the Esducational Establishment enabled the characterization of the population that has passed and/or lived in Alzira Educandário Bley during the period of compulsory admissions in Pedro Fontes Colony Hospital (1937-1979).
