In this context, this study aims to evaluate quantitatively the degrees of risk in areas subject to fluvial erosion in three communities: Itanduba, São Braz, and Fátima de Urucurituba. The methods include hazard attributes, as well as vulnerability aspects, through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). A multitemporal analysis were made to validated the marginal erosion a t the studied areas. The results indicated a high risk of fluvial erosion on these areas. The local families lives under high and very high social vulnerability in conditions with little infrastructure and very close to the susceptible erosive riverbank. The riverbank is composed of poorly consolidated sediments, show instability indicators, and are usually associated to drainages with flow rates above 100.000 m<sup>3</sup>/s. The results and methodology brings an important contribuition to territorial planning of the region.</div>}, number={39}, journal={REVISTA GEONORTE}, author={Nascimento Bandeira, Iris Celeste and Conceição, Raimundo Almir Costa da and Nogueira de Andrade, Milena Marília and Teixeira, Sheila Gatinho and Fonseca, Dianne Danielle Farias and Lima, Joao Batista Marcelo de and Azambuja, Andressa Macedo Silva de and Gregorio, Aderson Manoel da Silva and Miyagawa, Luciana de Jesus Penha Pamplona and TelesdaSilva, SilvioTadeu and Aguiar, Paulo Afonso Pereira}, year={2021}, month={jun.}, pages={1–25} }
