Abstract

SOUSA, Adria de Lima; ZENI, Luis Augusto  and  SCHNEIDER, Daniela Ribeiro. Territorialities and Urban Context in Studies on the Person-Environment Relationship: Integrative Literature Review. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.2, pp. 494-512. ISSN 1808-4281.  http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/epp.2021.61053.

Much of the world population currently lives in cities, with territoriality being a contemporary way of understanding the constitution of these living spaces. This study aimed to understand how the concept of territoriality has been related to studies on the person-environment relationship in the urban context. The research proposes an integrative review using national bases such as Scielo and Pepsic, and international ones, such as Web of Science, Sage Journal and Science Direct. The searches resulted in 219 articles and, after selection according to the eligibility criteria, 21 complete articles were obtained for analysis. The results indicated a greater production in recent years, with themes related to psychosocial aspects, urban planning, crime and security, cultural and religious aspects, health, education. The studies pointed to the understanding of the concept of territorialities linked to urban contexts from physical and symbolic aspects of the use, occupation and transformation of spaces. Territoriality, taken in an interdisciplinary concept, allows the dialogue with environmental psychology and existentialist psychology and to understand the importance of territories in the social dimension of existence.

Keywords : territorialities; cities; interdisciplinarity.
