Résumé
Cet article se veut une contribution originale à la définition d’unités de voisinage dans un contexte d’étude des inégalités sociales de santé. Après une revue de la notion de voisinage, le texte propose une approche de type historique afin de définir des unités de voisinage dans trois territoires de la région de Québec, soit les arrondissements de Limoilou et de Charlesbourg et la municipalité régionale de comté (MRC) de Portneuf. L’approche consiste d’abord à repérer toutes les limites territoriales que des institutions du milieu se sont données depuis le début des années 1960 afin de baliser leurs activités, puis d’en faire la somme et la synthèse. L’information de base a été obtenue de plusieurs sources, elle a été numérisée, introduite dans un SIG, pondérée à l’aide de critères, puis cartographiée. Le résultat fait apparaître, dans chaque territoire, un nombre variable d’espaces communs à la vie des institutions et de la population que celles-ci desservent. Comme ces espaces sont de faible dimension et le reflet d’interactions sociales, on peut les rapprocher de la notion de voisinage.

Abstract
This article is an original contribution to the definition of neighbourhood units in the context of a study on social inequalities with respect to health. After reviewing the concept of neighborhood, we propose an historical approach in order to define neighborhood units within three districts located in the Quebec City region: two Quebec City boroughs (Limoilou and Charlesbourg) and the municipal regional county (MRC) of Portneuf. This approach required collecting, adding together and summarizing all the modifications to administrative boundaries that these districts have undergone since the beginning of the 1960s. The original data was drawn from numerous sources, digitized, entered into a GIS, weighted according to certain criteria, and mapped. The results highlight a set of common areas shared by institutions and the population that they serve. As these areas are small and reflect social interactions. They can be linked with the notion of neighborhood.
