The process of degradation can be rise from the interaction between physical, economical, social and cultural factors. The objective of this work is to analyze the causes of degradation in the great region of Jaguaribe, situated in CearÃ. The geographical investigated area is the great region of Jaguaribe, that understands the following cities: Alto Santo, Aracati, ErerÃ, Fortim, Ibicuitinga, IcapuÃ, Iracema, ItaiÃaba, Jaguaretama, Jaguaribara, Jaguaribe, Jaguaruana, Limoeiro do Norte, Morada Nova, Palhano, Pereiro, Potiretama, QuixerÃ, Russas, SÃo JoÃo do Jaguaribe and Tabuleiro do Norte.
