Due to the increasing importance of environmental issues and the lack of information about the topic in the Bahia's cities, the main goal of this work was to identify how environmental conditions influence the level of development of the local population. We attempted to also quantify the level of environmental quality of cities and build a alternative to the HDI index, which considers, in addition to components of nature economic and social development, an environmental component. For this, first was created the Index of Environmental Conditions - ICA through the technique of factor analysis. As a result, the ICA was added to indicators that make up the HDI (giving the same an environmental approach). Creating Social-Environmental Development Index - IDSA. The results show that cities with better ICA were in the micro region Ilhéus-Itabuna whose has as common characteristic the high density of florets. Meanwhile, the cities with lower ICA had low availability of public services such as access to sanitation, its main degrading factor. The IDSA built resulted in an average rate equal to 0.26, below the HDI of the State (0.66). Thus, the study concluded that the degree of the environmental conditions in the state constitutes a factor of reducing the level of human development. Mainly due to poor quality and availability of sanitation services in the state, that's leaves, the local population subject to environmental risks.
