VILHENA, Gleyce  e  SILVA, Olavo. Evaluation of environmental impacts of roads in Module II of the Amapá State Forest. GOT [online]. 2017, n.12, pp.357-381. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2017.12.016.

The road network in Amapá is fundamental for the development of productive activities in extractive, forestry and mineral chains. The State Forest of Amapá (FLOTA), a Sustainable Use Conservation Unit, was implemented aiming, among other activities, to take advantage of the great potential of forest resources. Composed of four air-modules, it is accessed through highways connected to the two main roads of the State, BR-210 and 156. This research sought to carry out the evaluation of the environmental impacts caused by the alteration of the relief in the construction of the access highway to the surroundings of the module II of FLOTA and to elaborate a model less impacting for access to the areas of forest management. For the evaluation of impacts, the method of overlapping charts with support in the Leopold Matrix was used. It was verified that the environmental impacts caused by the road implanted in the surroundings, are of greater magnitude and importance when compared to the impacts of the proposed geometric design model, elaborated with greater precision in the analysis of the elements of the relief.
