Resumo:
The aim of this study was to know the indicators of socioeconomic and environmental deterioration of the
watershed of the Rio Sucuru Pitombeira nearby community, located in the city of Sumé, PB. We used a
methodology Baracuhy (2001) adapted for Sousa (2010), which consists of structured questionnaire scores
1 to 10, wherein the optimum condition was assigned the value 1 and the conditions that represent the
greatest problems value 10. From the data obtained from interviews with 20 families, we generated linear
equations showed that socioeconomic deterioration of 37.74% and 35.71% of environmental deterioration,
these results are probably related to the inappropriate use of natural resources and lack of investment public
administration.
