We highlight the importance of understanding the roots, mechanisms and dynamics of social inequalities and how they're arranged in singular form in the territories. In Brazil, currently, more than 85 of the population is urban. The accelerated process of urbanization has produced extremely unequal cities, marked by the strength of real estate capital, informality, poverty, inadequate infrastructure and environmental degradation. This framework leads us to question how such aspects influence health and, more specifically, the distress of the population. Thus, we conducted a search in the Vila de Ponta Negra, located in Natal/RN, due to its process of urbanization and community configuration peculiar. Aimed to analyze the social determination of mental health and coping strategies of its residents. 11 interviews were held with community residents and 11 with professionals of Basic Health Unit of Ponta Negra, mapping community resources, photographic records, participant observation in the streets and participation in community groups. The story of the former community of fishermen and farmers has been marked by conflicting land and privatization of space depending on the tourist and real estate activities. It produced socioespacials inequalities that influence the ways of life, consequently, on the mental health of the population. Identify women with families in situation of consumption and drug trafficking, which, added to the overload of housework are associated with symptoms of "disease of the nerves". As major problems of village residents detect drug trafficking and violence; the trash; the lack of schools and kindergartens; the lack of security and recreational spaces, which is associated with the increase in the consumption of drugs. There is a contradiction in the neighborhood, the icon leisure and enjoyment, however they lack alternatives encourage coexistence, the manifestations of popular culture and sporting activities for the residents. As healthcare professionals, we identified a superficial knowledge about the community, indicating a work disconnected from the territory, compounded by the absence of family health team. 21 community resources have been identified, in addition to popular dance groups, but little coordination among them. As potential, we can cite the presence and proximity of services and local businesses, strong neighbourly relations and cultural richness. Among the groups found, we highlight the work of two of them for political mobilization and community integration: the Collective of Ten Women and the fair Feito na Vila. We conclude that in spite of a history marked by a social inequality caused by the dispute through space, which strongly affects the health of its residents, the village resists and brings in their community dynamics important clues to his own rehabilitation.
