This study analyzed the potentialities and vulnerabilities of Costa da Conceição in the municipality of Itacoatiara, Amazonas, Brazil. Interviews and questionnaires were conducted with 60 families from three communities in the area. Data tabulation led to the construction of a SWOT matrix and problem trees for territorial management. The identified potentialities, such as the use of natural resources and cultural values, ensure the transmission of knowledge within the territory. On the other hand, key vulnerabilities include precarious energy infrastructure—causing economic losses—a lack of potable water, and the absence of a health post, in addition to natural environmental pressures. These challenges demand adaptability from the local social actors and call for attention from public authorities. This study goes beyond mere comprehension, aiming to foster a attentive perspective on the region and contribute to the design of targeted public policies that promote the well-being of current and future generations.
