As described in the United Nations documents, in order to achieve sustainable development, there is a need to align food security with the provision of clean water, biological conservation, mitigation of the effects of climate change, and other social and ecological objectives. Planninglandscapes that fulfill multiple functions is, therefore, a strategy to follow. As the intensification of economic activities has occurred in many regions around the globe, promoting land use/cover changes, depletion of natural resources and compromising the provision of ecosystem services,environmental restoration projects are needed to increase the required multifunctionality. These projects should not only consider the types of environments to be restored and the species to be used, but also the location and amount of restoration areas in relation to the other elements of the landscape, so that the production and delivery of services are optimized. This stems from the fact that landscape patterns and complexity, such as the quantity and connectivity of natural andanthropogenic areas, influence the ecological processes and functions involved in services provision. Therefore, land managers and landowners need adapted tools and practical information that already incorporate scientific knowledge and can assist them in the decisionsmakingprocess at multiple scales. The objective of this thesis was to bring a both theoretical and applied approach to the planning and management of landscapes that can promote multiple benefits. The first chapter consists of the formulation of meta-analyzes to synthesize andevaluate the scientific knowledge related to the effects of different landscape patterns on multiple ecosystem services. Based on these results and the literature reviewed, the second chapter developed a framework that considers the perceptions of different stakeholders, bundles ecosystem services according to their response to landscape patterns and has a computational and spatially explicit tool which uses readily available data to identify and prioritize locations for restoration. Therefore, the results of this thesis have the potential to improve the planning and management of the landscapes and to help increase the implementation of restoration projects, considering the public and private benefits in the planning process
