Nowadays there is a need for the development and implementation of environmental monitoring techniques to present and provide reliable, practical information and easy to obtain the major spheres of government and society inserted in a particular ecosystem, especially the river ecosystems of medium-sized cities as the case of João Pessoa. One such technique is the application of Sustainability Indexes, which coalesce qualitative and quantitative aspects of social, environmental, economic and institutional aid and structure the planning of urban and environmental management of the municipality, critically evaluating the effectiveness of urban management methodology, relating the possibility of proposing adaptations urban interventions and the use of other monitoring tools such as remote sensing techniques. In this way the natural resources of a territory are a watershed or a city, become the main environmental indicators related to sustainability and can be influenced by several factors related to the biotic resources, physical and social. Relations between the biotic and abiotic means are part of a sensitive balance, which is why the changes that interfere in these relations present in the urban environment can change their quality. Thus, developing an index that best represent the environmental sustainability trend, providing warning information to society and to the government and therefore propose conservation and harmonization of actions between the urban environment and the ecosystem services provided by rivers and green areas in the João Pessoa city, as well as presenting the new designs physiographic arising from changes in the urbanization of areas close to rivers involved in the research, makes up the backbone of this work. The methodology used in this study is focused on the evaluation of the performance of the four dimensions of sustainability in rivers Cuiá, Jaguaribe, Cabelo, Aratu and Jacarapé. It concludes - that this work is revealed vulnerabilities and potentials of urban socioecossistem at odds with the plans and city development projects relative harmony with the natural environment, still present, where the high degree of urbanization without proper planning deteriorates continuously environmental conditions and reflects the greater need of government and society, work in an integrated manner in the conservation of the environment, social equity and economic development.
