Caracterização biofísica para prevenção de impactos ambientais negativos decorrentes do turismo no Poço da Bacia do Córrego Rico em Arraias, TO

Abstract

The general objective of this work was to register the structure of the access trail to the well of the basin in Arraias - TO, identifying its state of environmental conservation and the existing infrastructure for tourism. Specifically, identify the physical structure, map the most sensitive points and record human activities along the route. Trails are paths or land roads that promote displacement to a certain location. These often have a constant flow of human beings when it comes to tourism in the current context where visits to exotic environments are on the rise. Thus, the trails used constantly and without management cause great negative impacts to the environment where they are inserted. As solutions to this problem arises the importance of planning these activities, thus being able to minimize several aggressions to the local nature. This is a study whose methodology is bibliographic research and field survey. The first step of this follow-up was the initial recording of the track structure. It was found that the visitation to the well of the basin in Arraias - TO is growing more and more, so it is important the good management of the trail to this tourist point to mitigate and/or prevent the environmental impacts from tourism. Thus, in this work, we point out in this work the biophysical characteristics of this route and its weaknesses, so that they can support proposals for studies, tourist itineraries and sustainable use of natural environments that aim to ensure locally sustainable tourism.
