Abstract Several studies analysed the environmental public expenditures, its allocation and role as an instrument for public action. However, there is still a gap in the literature, since there are no works that integrate and systematize the existing knowledge. Therefore, we conducted an integrative literature review, and selected thirty articles for synthesis, classification and coding based on a system proposed by the authors. We identified that researches on this field are still recent and publications are concentrated in Europe and Latin America. Regarding the research methods, the qualitative approach based on case studies was used to develop the majority of the studies. Also, the studies in general combined different spheres of analysis, discussing topics on performance and description of expenses. The results showed that there is a need for studies that promote themes such as transparency, accounting organization and the creation of indicators, enabling deeper analysis. An agenda with eight research suggestions was proposed based on observed theoretical limitations.

Abstract The National Border Strip (BS) geographically comprises the region of the Brazilian territorial boundary and, historically, is recognized by isolation, socio-economic and environmental vulnerabilities. In order to overcome these difficulties and promote sustainable regional development, a set of public policies was implemented, with emphasis on restructuring the Border Area Development Plan (PDFF) in 2005. In face of the investments made and the scarcity of information about this territory, this paper identified the main policies implemented in the BS based on literature review and documentary research. Also, thematic maps showed the effects of these policies on the changeovers of education, health, employment and income indicators, all calculated for the years 2005 and 2011. The results show that the policies emphasized development in the social and economic spheres, with less emphasis on the environmental context. Improvements in living conditions were identified in most municipalities, especially in education and health.

Resumo O presente artigo buscou analisar os temas saúde e meio ambiente nos municípios da Faixa de Fronteira (FF) brasileira, haja vista os desafios singulares de gestão destes setores neste território. Para isso, verificou-se a associação entre eles por meio de uma coleta e análise de dados secundários, utilizando estatística descritiva, mapeamento e análise de cluster. Os principais resultados demonstraram a carência de políticas públicas setoriais, especialmente para os temas meio ambiente e saúde nas atividades dos governos municipais fronteiriços, sendo ainda mais escassas as discussões que incorporam a intersetorialidade no planejamento. Dos 94,7% municípios analisados, 53.6%% apresentaram desempenho mediano no tema ambiental, e 81.3% baixo ou muito baixo no tema saúde, depreendendo-se que no contexto da FF brasileira, os aspectos do tema ambiental têm ganho mais atenção em comparação com os aspectos da saúde. Por fim, o estudo contribui ao apontar implicações destes resultados capazes de subsidiar políticas públicas.

Abstract This work sought to analyze the health and environment in the Brazilian municipalities that make up the Frontier Strip (FS), considering the unique challenges of managing these in such territory. For this purpose, the association between them was studied by collecting and analyzing secondary data, using descriptive statistics, mapping, and cluster analysis. The main results demonstrated the lack of public policies, particularly for environmental and health issues in activities of municipal border governments, and the discussions that incorporate intersectionality in planning are even more limited. Of the 94.7% of municipalities analyzed, 53.6% presented an average performance on the environmental issue, and 81.3% a low or very low one on health, probably due to the fact that environmental aspects have gained more attention in the context of Brazilian FS compared to health ones. Finally, the study points out the implications of these results, which can subsidize public policies.
