This paper aims to analyze the correlation between the environmental, institutional and social with Infestation Index (II) at the neighborhoods Cidade Nova and Jabotiana in 2014. These districts were selected by virtue of respectively, presenting the lowest and highest II Aedes aegypti mosquito in Aracaju city. The research subjects were: six Municipal Health Department managers; Thirteen Fighting Endemic Diseases Agents (EDA) of Epidemiological Surveillance and two hundred residents of the neighborhoods studied. This is a descriptive study with qualitative and quantitative approach, conducted through the collection and analysis of data obtained by means of literature, documentary and field. In field research semi-structured interviews were conducted directed to managers of Epidemiological Surveillance and residents mentioned above. Interviews and workshops were also applied (Participatory Rapid Assessment - DRP) with the Agents. As from the systematization and analysis of the data were selected and measured environmental, institutional and social indicators that had relationship with the infestation of the Aedes aegypti. Thus, it was found that several factors can contribute to the discrepancy between the infestation levels in the analyzed districts, such as discontinuity and delay of actions to prevent and control the vector, lack of combat of EDA, precarious water supply system in some places, existence of areas with environmental vulnerability, with few green spaces and with the use and occupation of poorly planned ground. It was also observed that the institutional dimension showed that the worst rates in the studied neighborhoods and environmental dimension was the largest contributor to the sustainability of Jabotiana neighborhood. At the end of the research it was proposed management actions to confront the prevention difficulties and Aedes aegypti control, which may contribute to the municipal health management redirect their public policies, thus achieving more participatory and effective action.
