Among the currently assisted environmental problems, the vulnerability of the landscape to soil loss is one that deserves attention. Thus, this paper proposes to determine the vulnerability of the landscape of the municipality of Francisco Sá to soil loss, based on the methodology proposed by Crepani et al. (2001). Based on this methodology and using geotechnological tools, vulnerability maps were prepared for the elements that make up the landscape (geology, geomorphology, soils, climate and land use) and, after determining the fragility of each element, were created. The final vulnerability chart of the landscape with the crossing of all variables. As a result, it is possible to state that the municipality of Francisco Sá presents medium to high vulnerability to soil loss, which were considered as main factors the predominant soil for this finding, types and their respective uses.
