                         evaluation of the information derived from distinct modes of 
                         RADARSAT-1 images (Standard and Fine) acquired over the Manaus 
                         city during different passes (ascending and descending) for land 
                         use and land cover mapping. In addition, aspects related to the 
                         influence of sensor (incidence angle, look-azimuth and spatial 
                         resolution) and target (surficial roughness, moisture, type of 
                         terrain, etc) were also evaluated. The chosen test-site is the 
                         Manaus city, capital of Amazonas State, Brazilian Amazon Region. 
                         The investigation has allowed to produce a semi-detailed map of 
                         the urban land use and land cover units for the Manaus area. This 
                         research has also shown that tone and texture were the dominant 
                         image attributes in the interpretation process, controlled by 
                         target (mainly surface roughness and moisture) and sensor 
                         parameters (look-azimuth, incidence angle and spatial resolution)
