                         disorderly growth of the cities and the occupation of risk areas 
                         by the poor population, causing social, environmental and economic 
                         impacts. Urban areas in expansion move to geologically unstable 
                         areas and topographically inclined, such as the River Bengalas 
                         Basin, located in the city of Nova Friburgo, mountainous region of 
                         the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This article aims to present 
                         the model developed and used to evaluate the susceptibility and 
                         vulnerability of the River Bengalas Basin to landslides, which in 
                         January 2011, with the occurrence of heavy rains, caused 
                         landslides that impacted in the death of 429 people in city of 
                         Nova Friburgo. For the case study, several investigations have 
                         been made related to the areas of the basin, such as slope, soil 
                         conditions, lithology, land use and cover, vertical curvature 
                         (Very Convex, Convex, Flat, Concave, Very Concave), horizontal 
                         curvature (Very Divergent, Divergent, Flat, Convergent, Very 
                         Convergent), and precipitation data. With this study it was 
                         possible to understand how the natural and anthropics elements of 
                         the basin are related to the local dynamics of the disasters 
                         regarding to their interferences in the induction of landslides; 
                         evaluate the effectiveness of the guidelines of the Plano Diretor 
                         Participativo of the city of Nova Friburgo regarding the 
                         landslides; identify the susceptible and vulnerable areas to 
                         landslides and assess the rates of susceptibility and
