4.2: Current Land Use - Forest Cover Mapping by 4.2.1: Imagery review

4.2.2: Field survey

4.2.3: Mapping of upland field distribution (1-2 years)

4.2.1: imagery review

1: Upland field mapping of the year image taken

2: Paddy fields mapping (those may be seen)

3: Plantation and concession area mapping (those may be seen)

4: Forests never been cleared before (+ other areas) mapping –

those are never cleared for agriculture

> The remaining areas must be bush fallow“

4.2.2: Field Survey

If permanent agricultural fields or plantations cannot be seen or mapped

from the Image, then they will have to be field surveyed – semi-detailed:

GPS points around the boundary of contiguous blocks.

1. For ‘forest never been cleared” and ‘upland fields’ : staff and villager

teams should undertake some field surveys to observe and verify,

2. Permanent agriculture fields not appeared in the image, field survey is

required by using GPS.

Objectives:

1: To increase understanding of the villagers’ upland field activities

2: To serve as the reference for possible upland field re-allocation

4.2.3: Mapping of upland field distribution (not appeared on the imagery)

Method: “Place the Pin/sticker on Image” (or TOPO 2.5 D)

The best village mapper and staff guide each household in turn

to place a coloured mapping pin/sticker using one color for 1

year and placing for 2 years.

Issue:

• Be able to pin only the rice upland fields, while other crop fields were

not able to do so.
