Conteúdo:	The Ecological-Economic Zoning (ZEE) analyzes the landscape potentialities and vulnerabilities   using different environmental information. This study identifies and prioritizes the components and environmental factors used for the diagnosis of Brazilian ZEEs at 1:250,000 scale. The methodological guidelines of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MMA) and the consolidated zoning plans for the States Acre, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Tocantins were analyzed as references, according to the following methodology: literature review; survey and comparative analysis; development, application, and analysis of a questionnaire using percentages assigned to degrees of importance (0 to 10), and qualitative analysis based on the number of respondents. A total of 27 factors grouped into five environmental components were identified. The most important environmental components (degree 10) were the physical environment and integrated studies, highlighted by 57% of respondents. The environmental factors with the highest degree of importance were: water resources (74%) and geomorphology (69%) from the physical environment; vegetation (63%) and ecosystem services (56%) from the biota; land use (74%) and traditional populations (50%) from the socio-economic; legal aspects (54%) and institutional areas (37%) from the legal-institutional; and environmental vulnerability (65%) and environmental fragility (65%) from integrated studies. Qualitatively, all components and environmental factors were classified as class 4 (extremely important), with varying percentages. The preparation of maps and reports was identified as high and extremely important information in 13 factors. It is concluded that all analyzed components and environmental factors should be considered in studies, although with varying degrees of importance.
