Knowing the territory in which the Basic Health Unit works is a important element for the creation of strategies aimed at improving health services and the environment in which the population lives. In order for this identification to be efficient, it is necessary to seek out, create and explore tools to assist in this process. The objective of this research was to rescue the concepts and the stages for the territorialization in health and the strategies for its realization. A survey was carried out in the Google Academic and Lilacs databases, academic bibliography and institutional websites. It was found that the definition of the concepts of territorialization and the various instruments accessible or with more accurate technologies, such as questionnaires, maps, models and computerized systems, help in the planning and execution of activities in each stage of the knowledge process of the territory and of the population living in it. In this way, territorialization allows the reorganization of health practices based on the humanization of care and the needs of the community.
