The Apodi estuarine located in the north coast of Rio Grande do Norte State; it is a typical and key valley region with apparent upland ecosystem vulnerability and sensitivity. In order to analyze natural and ecoenvironmental vulnerability, remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS) technologies are adopted and an environmental numerical model is developed using DIP techniques. The objective of this study was to improve our understanding of natural and ecoenvironmental vulnerability; it ?s causes basically show the intensity, its distribution and humanenvironment effect on the ecosystem in the Apodi estuarine, so that a strategy of sustainable land use could be established.
