- Abstract
The trails have great importance for public use in the nature protected areas. However, unplanned actions may compromise the conservation status of these areas, especially the trails. This work aims to analyze the environmental quality of Peito do Pombo trail in Sana (Macaé - RJ) in the Environmental Protection Area, through the Rapid Trail Assessment Protocol (PAR-T). The research also evaluated the state of the floor by means of microtopographic surveys and the visitation on the trail according to the registers from Macaé Environment Office. The trail, considered semi-designed, was divided into eight segments, three of which are in regular situation, four in good situation and one in bad situation. There was a significant change in the conditions of the trail from the end of the fourth stretch, where the slope increases and the floor conditions worsen, requiring greater adjustments from the initial 500 meters of the trail. In the period evaluated, the biggest visitation took place from December to April, peaking in February and lowest in June, reinforcing the seasonal nature of visitation and the need for greater maintenance of the trail during the summer. The results can help in the management of the UC, demonstrating that the study of trails is essential to direct the practice of actions aimed at managing visitation and mitigate the environmental impacts resulting from this activity.
