| Abstract: | In order to prepare schemes for Land reclamation, plantation and permanent settlement of the tribals of shifting cutivation areas in Orrisa a proper survey is a prerequisite. Earlier attempts vaguely idenified these areas. Wide disparity in data are found in the reports from different sources. Interpretation of LANDSAT-1 imagery can be used to study shifting cultivation areas in a scientific way. Lack of forests on sloping land is the chief characteristic of shifting cullivation areas. Landsat observation along with classified slope from topographic sheets provide most reliable and accurate data by minimising human error. |
