description Six rural communities in semiarid Ceará were analyzed for sociological, microeconomic and biophysical sustainability indicators. The collection in situ of original data was carried out through questionnaires that allowed the elaboration of twenty one variables in total. Tapera, Junco and Tiassol were evident more sustainable in relation to biophysical indicators because they use their available surfaces in more diverse way associating crop production to livestock activities of small ruminants. However, the economic and sociological indicators, except for holder age and wage labor, were not statistically different between these communities. Only one community showed up sustainable for all the indicators because it is the more diverse and plural practicing agriculture by combining cereal crops, forage, vegetable garden and orchard with small ruminant livestock with exclusive family labor. Even featuring a smaller total area its ability to diversify agricultural and livestock became viable. In that community the rural units from the latest settlement are managed by intermediate age holders with the second largest number of successors. Finally, its microeconomic results indicate the expanded capacity of productive assets reproduction in these semiarid agroecosystem.
