The heyday of the rubber (90s, nineteenth century) and the installation of the Manaus Free Zone (1967), while favoring the growth of the city, have intensified a social liability, since Manaus was not in an urban infrastructure compatible with the demand immigration. Thus, the surroundings of the streams began to be occupied in a disordered fashion, leading to serious environmental problems affecting the quality of life for occupants of these areas. Aimed at resolving issues related to these problems, the Government of the State of Amazonas developed, from 2003, PROSAMIM (Social and Environmental Program of the streams of Manaus). This initiative has become a motivation for this research because we sought to identify what were the social and environmental impacts of PROSAMIM establish the relationship between social and environmental sustainability and quality of life and to characterize the concept of quality of life from the perception of the residents from the researched community. From these claims, this research was, as to the means, the document retrieval and to obtain other data, we adopted the type of structured interview and the application of a closed-type questionnaire and structured. The study acknowledges that the PROSAMIM provided improvements in the lives of residents, incorporating significantly the areas of intervention programs to the city, changing the intensely urban landscape by, for example, resettling families in an environment reclassified.
