The objective of this article was to evaluate the Environmental Health Indicator (EHI) of Areas with Concentration of Diseases (ACD) dengue, chikungunya and zika in the territory of the Western Health District (WHD) of the City of Natal-RN. The methodology is divided into two strategies: theoretical-conceptual and operational. The first stage presents the main documentary and bibliographic surveys that helped in the reflection and discussion on the health-disease process, man-environment and salubrity for Health Geography. The second stage addresses the operational procedures that defined: spatial scales, temporal scales, forms, database and adaptation of the Environmental Health Indicator in Areas with Concentration of Diseases (EHI/ACD). In the result, this research demonstrated that the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) and spatial analysis techniques contributed to the identification and spatial analysis of places with low environmental health conditions and unhealthy conditions, which are contained in areas with cases of dengue, chikungunya and zika diseases.
