Abstract(s)
O principal objetivo deste projeto foi definir um traçado para um novo percurso pedestre de ‘tipologia’ pequena rota no concelho de Alcoutim, tendo sido o local escolhido: a ribeira do Vascão.
Pretende-se com este percurso dar a conhecer esta ribeira que se caracteriza por ser uma zona de elevado interesse paisagístico com valores a conservar, até hoje quase desconhecida.
Através de entrevistas a usufrutuários locais dos espaços naturais do concelho, do estudo da região, nomeadamente das caraterísticas da ribeira e sua envolvente, recorrendo a Sistemas de Informação Geográfica e a reconhecimentos de campo, foi possível determinar quais as zonas onde o percurso poderia ser definido, tendo por obrigatórias as condições de fácil acesso à ribeira e a existência de caminhos e/ou trilhos na margem algarvia.
Estudados vários locais e após a averiguação das condições no terreno, as áreas escolhidas foram as ‘Águas Santas’ e o ‘Pego Escuro’ pois além dos requisitos referidos como fundamentais, é uma zona com apoios turísticos na proximidade, tais como: alojamentos locais e restauração, o que muitas vezes é decisivo para a promoção e valorização dos percursos.
Para além da definição dos percursos, foram também criados os conteúdos para os folhetos de apoio às visitas deste percurso, assim como descritas algumas propostas: para o percurso em si; para a divulgação dos percursos pedestres e pedestrianismo no território de Alcoutim; e definidas algumas ações complementares para a promoção desta atividade que pretende ser um ‘chamariz’ para este território rural de baixa densidade do Baixo Guadiana, e uma mais-valia para a população e para a economia local.
The main objective of this project was to define a route for a new pedestrian route of a small route typology in the municipality of Alcoutim, being the chosen place: the Vascão river. This route is intended to make known this river which is characterized as an area of high landscape interest with values to be conserved, until now almost unknown. Through interviews with local usufructuaries of the natural spaces of the county, the study of the region, namely the characteristics of the river and its surroundings, using Geographic Information Systems and field recognition, it was possible to determine the zones where the route could be defined, having as obligatory the conditions of easy access to the riverbank and the existence of roads and/or tracks in the algarvian riverbank. After studying the field conditions, the chosen areas were 'Águas Santas' and 'Pego Escuro', because besides the requirements referred as fundamental, it is an area with nearby tourist support such as: local accommodation and restoration, which is often decisive for the promotion and appreciation of the routes. Besides the definition of the footpaths, the contents for the leaflets to support the visits were also created, as well as some proposals: for the course itself; for the dissemination of footpaths and hikers in the territory of Alcoutim; and defined some complementary actions to promote this activity that intends to be a 'decoy' for this low-density rural area of Baixo Guadiana, and an added value for the population and the local economy.
