INDIGENOUS HEALTH INFORMATION

BUILDING AND SANITATION WORKS

Abstract

This article analyzes information standardization in building and sanitation works within Special Indigenous Health Districts as a component of the Indigenous health information ecosystem. It is based on the understanding that these works are not merely physical, technical, or administrative interventions, but informational processes involving community demands, documents, systems, records, decisions, mediation practices, and social participation. The research is characterized as qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, and documentary, combining bibliographic and documentary analyses. The theoretical framework engages with studies on health information, information quality, access, competence, intercultural mediation, and Indigenous data governance. The results indicate that the management of these works depends on the quality of documentary flows, interoperability between systems, decision traceability, the preservation of institutional and community memory, and the accessibility of information by communities. The article concludes that information standardization, when guided by intercultural mediation, social participation, and respect for the sociocultural diversity of Indigenous peoples, can strengthen public management, expand transparency, and contribute to ensuring the right to health.
