This study, based on a systematic review, having as its pillar the National Policy for the Street Population, aims to encourage reflection onthe terminologies about the street population in recent Brazilian scientific production (2013-2023). We used the Catalogue of Theses and Dissertations (CTD) of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), from 2013 to 2023, to comprehend researchers views on this case, analyzing the meanings they attributed to street situation. We identify more than twenty terminologies associated this public, like: street dweller andpopulation, subjects, women and street users, miserable, invisible, urban wanderers, among others.
