Background. This study tries to evaluate, through a multidisciplinary approach, the relationship between urban structure, isolation and distribution of social determinants of health, in the so-called “formerly-Bastogi, a compound, with more than 1,500 inhabitants, located in north-western Rome, Italy. Methods.The architectural-urban analysis, conducted through site visits and evaluations of urban situation, showed how strongly the compound is isolated from the neighbourhoods, and structurally degraded. The socio-demographic analysis, based on the National Census data, showed significant differences in the distribution of the social determinants of health between “formerly-Bastogi” and the surrounding areas. Results.The area under study appears to be isolated from the surrounding urban space, both because of social and architectural factors. This situation could have some association with inhabitants’ health. Conclusions. If our preliminary investigation was useful for a diagnosis of the situation, a more complete – qualitative and quantitative – investigation of the context will be needed to plan appropriate multidisciplinary health-promoting interventions
Background. Lo studio vuole valutare, attraverso un approccio multidisciplinare, la relazione tra struttura urbana, isolamento e distribuzione dei cosiddetti Deter-minanti Sociali di Salute, nell’area chiamata “formerly-Bastogi”, un complesso edilizio con più di 1.500 abitanti, nella zona nord-ovest della città di Roma. Metodi. L’analisi architettonica/urbanistica, portata avanti con sopralluoghi e valutazioni delle fonti ur-banistiche, mostra come il complesso sia isolato dal quartiere, e strutturalmente degradato. L’analisi socio-demografica, basata sul Censimento Generale del 2011, mostra significative differenze nella distribuzione dei determinanti sociali di salute tra formerly-Bastogi e le aree circostanti. Risultati. L’area in studio risulta effettivamente isolata dal tessuto urbano circostante, sia dal punto di vista archi-tettonico che sociale. Questo comporta delle conseguenze in termini di salute per gli abitanti. Conclusioni. Occorre portare avanti uno studio appro-fondito del contesto, con metodologie quali-quantitative, così da guidare un intervento multidisciplinare di pro-mozione della salute
