The edaphic fauna in urban areas suffers quantitative and qualitative alterations in the communities that used to exist in the areas currently modified. The objective of this study was to identify the fauna in the internal area of Campus VI of the Universidade do Estado do Pará, Paragominas, Pará. The method applied was an entirely randomized design, with quantitative coverage, with sampling of the pedofauna at five distinct points in this area, for taxonomic identification and calculation of the Shannon-Wiener and Simpson indices. The data indicated that, at A2-P2, the vegetation is sparse and sparse, and solar radiation varies throughout the day, so the value of H'(1.0451), indicated a lower probability of individuals belonging to the same species (D = 0.7096), with no uniform distribution of them (Ej = 1.2824); In A4-P4, an area behind the access gate, the vegetation is already more abundant, with variations between shrubs and trees, therefore, less solar intensity and with more retention of moisture in the soil due to the growth of grasses, and this caused a greater diversity of individuals (H'= 1.8651), a higher probability of individuals belonging to the same species (D = 0.7096) and uniformity in the distribution of individuals (J = 0.5203). In areas where architectural units were raised, the communities showed tendencies to lower diversity ( H' = 1.0886; Ej = 0.3037). Therefore, the urbanization process, even in restricted areas, has effective actions on the edaphic fauna communities and can annul their functionality both in the maintenance of soil physiology and in the nutritional and reproductive process of this fauna.
