O estudo que aqui se apresenta tem como propósito a conclusão do Mestrado em
Planeamento e Gestão em Turismo de Natureza e Aventura realizado na Escola Superior de Hotelaria e Turismo do Estoril e visa a elaboração de um questionário para avaliação da manutenção de percursos pedestres homologados.
Em Portugal, a marcação, moderna, de percursos pedestres iniciou-se com base
num modelo desportivo, de rápida expansão e de qualidade. A certificação da qualidade dos percursos (homologação) é da responsabilidade da Federação de Campismo e Montanhismo de Portugal (FCMP), a federação com Utilidade Pública
Desportiva (UPD) para a modalidade do Pedestrianismo, e consiste na garantia da
segurança e orientação dos praticantes e na conservação do meio, regendo-se pelo Regulamento de Homologação de Percursos Pedestres (FCMP, 2006).
O não cumprimento da obrigatoriedade de manutenção dos percursos pedestres, num período mínimo de 5 anos após a sua homologação, por parte das entidades
promotoras e a marcação à margem do Regulamento referido sem que, portanto, se
verifique a devida homologação são dos problemas mais significativos que se têm
verificado, devendo-se estes factos, principalmente à falta de um sistema de
avaliação e monitorização contínuas das condições dos percurso pedestres e a um
faseado e multidisciplinar processo de registo, implantação, vistoria e homologação.
Sendo inviável para a FCMP um contínuo envio de técnicos para efectuar o acompanhamento da manutenção dos percursos e, por maioria de razões,
acompanhar a marcação ‘ilegal’ dos percursos pedestres nacionais tem-se sentido,
cada vez mais, a necessidade de implementar um questionário que, servindo-se dos
utilizadores dos percursos (os praticantes de pedestrianismo), funcione como
sistema de avaliação da qualidade dos percursos pedestres homologados e
simultaneamente como processo de detecção de percursos marcados a latere do
sistema de implementação de percursos da FCMP.
Esta dissertação surge, então, como contributo para colmatar a lacuna existente na avaliação da manutenção da qualidade dos percursos pedestres homologados.
This study presents the final thesis for the Masters in Planning and Management in Nature Tourism and Adventure, held at Escola Superior de Hotelaria e Turismo do Estoril, and aims to produce a questionnaire to evaluate the maintenance of existing official footpaths. In Portugal, a sportive model was firstly used to make modern markings of footpaths, which promoted a rapid expansion and with good quality. The responsibility to complete the official paths quality certification belongs to Federação de Campismo e Montanhismo de Portugal (FCMP); the Portuguese Federation with Public Sport Utility for the pedestrianism (hiking) consists in ensuring safety and guidance of public users and promote the maintenance of conservation of the environment, over by the Rules for certification of walking trails (FCMP, 2006). The failure to comply with the mandatory maintenance of walking trails and their marking according to the regulations referred, within 5 years after its approval by the official promoters, is the common problem that occurs when seeking official walking trails certification. These facts especially came from the lack of a system of continuous evaluation and monitoring of pedestrian path conditions, as also to a multi-phased registration process, implementation, inspection and approval. Finding it impossible for a continuous FCMP sending technicians to perform monitoring and maintenance of routes, for most reasons, track marking 'illegal' of national footpaths have felt increasingly the need to implement a questionnaire that is serving the users of the routes (hikers), runs a system for assessing the quality of footpaths and simultaneously approved as a process of detection of marked footpaths outside of the FCMP implementation system. This document appears then as a contribution to bridging the gap in assessing the quality of maintenance of footpaths approved.
