Evaluación del impacto en la salud del proyecto de reurbanización de la calle San Fernando en Alcalá de Guadaíra (Sevilla) / Health impact assessment of the San Fernando street renewal project in Alcalá de Guadaíra (Seville, Spain)

Objetivos: Se presenta la experiencia de una evaluación del impacto en la salud realizada en 2010 sobre el proyecto de reurbanización de la calle San Fernando, vía principal de acceso al barrio de San Miguel-El Castillo, en Alcalá de Guadaíra (Sevilla). Constituye ésta una de las primeras actuaciones previstas en el Plan URBAN de regeneración social, urbana y económica del casco histórico del municipio. Métodos: Se han seguido las cinco fases y los procedimientos clásicos de una evaluación del impacto en la salud. La revisión de la evidencia se ha complementado con una consulta a la población afectada en forma de taller participativo, así como con entrevistas a profesionales sociosanitarios con implicación en el barrio. Resultados: Durante las obras, los impactos negativos se relacionan con los efectos nocivos del proyecto sobre la calidad del aire, el nivel de ruidos, las restricciones a la movilidad y el riesgo de siniestralidad, en especial entre la población mayor o con movilidad reducida. Cuando finalicen, se prevén mejoras en determinantes del entorno físico tales como la accesibilidad y la conectividad del barrio con servicios sanitarios y otros bienes y servicios en otras zonas del municipio. También se prevén impactos positivos vinculados a la seguridad y el atractivo del barrio, así como nuevas oportunidades para la sociabilidad, la cohesión social y la autoestima comunitaria. Conclusiones: Se trata de la primera experiencia en Andalucía cuyos resultados se han integrado en un ciclo formal de toma de decisiones de ámbito local. Ello ha permitido valorar el potencial, la aplicabilidad y la aceptación de la evaluación del impacto en la salud en el ámbito municipal, así como facilitar un proceso de aprendizaje y un pilotaje de métodos y herramientas adaptadas (AU)

Objectives: This study describes the design and implementation of a health impact assessment (HIA) conducted in 2010 of the regeneration project of San Fernando Street, the main avenue crossing the San Miguel-El Castillo neighborhood in Alcala de Guadaíra (Seville, Spain). This project is part of the wider URBAN Plan aimed at the social, urban and economic regeneration of the city's historic center. Methods: This experience followed the standard HIA stages and procedures. The review of published evidence was complemented with new qualitative information gathered by means of a participative workshop with the local population and interviews with social and health workers involved in the neighborhood. Results: During the building stage of the project, the adverse impacts were related to a worsening of the air quality, increased noise pollution, mobility restrictions and a higher risk of accidents, particularly among older or disabled people. Once the building stage was finished, the health benefits were associated with significant improvements in physical accessibility and the population's access to health services and other goods and services. Other positive effects were the enhanced safety and attractiveness of the neighborhood and the new opportunities for socializing, social cohesion and increasing the community's self-esteem. Conclusions: This is the first HIA experience in Andalusia whose results have been integrated into a formal cycle of decision making in the local community. This experience has provided new evidence of the potential of HIA and its applicability and acceptance at the municipal level and has has also facilitated a learning process and the piloting of new methods and tools associated with the HIA process (AU)
