The mode of production used as raw material for (re) production of natural resources, as different as possible. It is, therefore justified the removal of vegetation, for real estate, agropastoral and mining, causing serious damage to the environment and the contamination of river channels through the dumping of sewage in natura. The coastal town Estância/Sergipe no exception to this reality, where production and occupancy of their spaces not meeting the timely rebalancing of environmental systems is maintaining environmental sustainability. The city is located east of the state of Sergipe, with a territory of 647.62 km² and is part of the south coast. With a proposal for a geoenvironmental analysis of the municipality aimed to identify the natural physical environments and anthropogenic lead currently processed in resort and its possible consequences to the local environment. The analysis method was based on geo approach, suitable for integrated analysis of various environmental units contained in the municipality and the methodological procedures were based on geospatial technologies, preparation of thematic maps, field work, reading relevant documents to the investigation as bibliographies consistent with the research object and the applied theory, knowledge of the socioeconomic and environmental processes in the city to present, from the integrated analysis, to identify the environmental damage in the landscape units from human activity. The municipality of Estância space is a very dynamic nature, consisting of fragile ecosystems to man's actions. Patches of Atlantic Forest and mangrove ecosystem is periodically cleared, burned and filled to make way for housing and economic activities. The waters of the river channels that bathe the city are polluted mainly by domestic sewage and fecal coliform. Thus, it becomes necessary to develop research projects that assist in the formulation of public policies, planning, use and preservation of natural spaces, since the balance of the physical environment is fundamental to the welfare and maintenance of man on the surface of planet Earth.
