                         drivers that modify the natural environment. Thus, understanding 
                         the structure of a landscape, the anthropic actions that affect 
                         it, and proposing planning strategies are essential tools for 
                         sustainable development. In this context, this work aimed to 
                         propose territorial planning for Brotas, Brazil. We assessed 20 
                         years (19992019) of land use and applied techniques of potential 
                         environmental fragilityPEF (natural) and emergent fragilityEF 
                         (influenced by human activities). Our results showed that Brotas 
                         landscape has been strongly altered, which directly impacted the 
                         local environmental fragility, especially with sugarcane advancing 
                         over the areas that once was occupied by natural vegetation. On 
                         the other hand, naturally fragile areas are mainly where the 
                         pedological substrate is of sandy origin and covers areas with 
                         greater slope. Naturally fragile areas combined with intense 
                         processes of human intervention without studies to guide them may 
                         be the main cause of degradation processes in Brotas. Lastly, our 
                         findings (i) reinforce that spatializing the landscape fragility 
                         can strengthen the planning process and contribute to public 
                         management, and (ii) encourage the application of the same model 
                         to other areas with landscape heterogeneity and land use 
                         conflicts.",
