马来西亚沙巴大学拥有茂密的次生林，是沙巴哥打京那巴鲁的城市森林和绿肺之一，这片城市森林被称为umpeak。在UMS峰内建立的正式和非正式的步道很少，自2009年建立以来，其条件尚未得到适当的评估。因此，需要进行初步评估，以评估统马峰内这些城市森林小径的现有状况。两条已确定的正式径（瀑布径和总理府径）和一条非正式径(Kg。选择E Trail)进行快速目视观察评估。在沿步道每100 m设置的样桩上，评估每条步道的起点距离、海拔、坡度、步道森林结构状况、视觉价值和管理状况。周边植物群落、设施和基础设施、坡度、海拔、景观吸引力、游憩影响和地表覆盖差异不显著，而步道能见度、步道宽度、土壤压实度、森林层数、潜在风险、周边景观隐蔽性和步道管理状况差异显著。总理府径受到较差的康乐影响，而瀑布径的径况则较Kg差。E。此外，内部段被发现是小径之间显著差异的主要贡献者。因此，需要对这些非正式和正式的步道进行更详细的评价，以获得准确的信息，并更全面地了解对这三种不同步道的整体和分段状况有重要影响的因素。
Universiti Malaysia Sabah housed a dense secondary forest that served as one of the urban forests and green lungs in Kota Kinabalu of Sabah, and this urban forest was known as UMS Peak. Few formal and informal trails were established within UMS Peak, and their conditions were yet to be properly evaluated since their establishments in 2009. Therefore, a preliminary assessment was required to assess existing conditions of these urban forest trails within UMS Peak. Two identified formal trails (Waterfall Trail and Chancellery Trail) and one informal trail (Kg. E Trail) were selected for rapid visualobservation assessment. Distance from starting point, elevation, slope steepness, trail forest structure condition, visual value, and management condition for each trail were assessed at the sample posts established every 100 m along the trail. Surrounding plant community, facility and infrastructure, slope steepness, elevation, attractive scenicfeatures, recreational impact, and ground cover were insignificant different, while trail visibility, trail width, soil compaction, forest layer, potential risk, surrounding scenic invisibility, and trail management condition were determined to be significantly different, between the three trails. Chancellery Trail suffered from worse recreational impact, andthen Waterfall Trail was determined to be worse in trail condition compared to Kg. E Trail. Additionally, interior segments were discovered as main contributors to significant differences between trails. Therefore, further detailed evaluation on these informal and formal trails are required to obtain accurate information and much comprehensive understanding on factors with significant influences towards overall and segment conditions of these three different trails.
