In desiring to understand the application of environmental psychology in the sphere of health proposes to contemplate the relationships that people establish with the places they inhabit. It is therefore objective to systematically revise literature in order to examine the concepts of restorative environment, environmental significance and urban social identity in relation to health Contexts. This triad contemplates the interaction of the subject with the spaces, emphasizing, above all, the search for Well-being. In order to do so, a systematic review of the literature was carried out in the BVS-PSI, Scielo, Lilacs, Pepsic data bases. In addition, the international databases that give access to the main journals of environmental psychology were contemplated: Science Direct and Sage journals. They resulted in twenty seven studies, analyzed and subdivided into three structured categories in order to contemplate the thematic, theoretical and methodological differences. Although they have distinct boundaries, the articles examined communicate with each other through the common perspective of investing in the search for health improvement strategies and health promotion considering the relationship with the Environment. In this way, scientific findings are expected to provide indicators and subsidies in the assessment and structuring of environmental actions and planning in the context of health care.Downloads
