Deforestation Detection System (DETER) was developed by the
National Institute for Space Research as an MODIS based alert
system to support surveillance and control of deforestation,
integrating the plan for prevention and control of deforestation
in the Amazon and has been responsible for a fast and systematic
deforestation survey since May 2004 in the Brazilian. In the last
decade there was a reduction in the size of the deforestation
patches. This reduction causes a major limitation to DETER mapping
capabilities due to its reduced spatial resolution. This study
aims to map and identify forest degradation patterns using the
Advanced Wide Field Sensor (AWiFS) onboard of Resourcesat-I
satellite testing its suitability to map and monitor deforestation
in the Amazon rainforest. It was possible to identify the presence
of six forest degradation patterns, within a mapped area of 2757.3
ha as clear cut, 7620.91 ha for moderate degradation, 9295.42 ha
as high degradation, 31.7810,38 ha as burnt scar, 9300.22 ha for
regular selective cut and 928.77 ha for conventional selective
cut. The highest percentage of mapped area (~ 91%) is associated
with the burnt scar class. This result indicates that the AWiFS
sensor with moderate spatial resolution, can be used in the
monitoring and surveillance of the Brazilian Amazon, providing
support for conservation measures. and {1. INTRODCTION} and The
Brazilian Amazon has large biogeographic heterogeneity and had its
human occupation processes resulting in a huge variety of spatial
patterns that may be associated with different actors, history and
types of occupation (Alves, 2002; Fearnside, 2008). It is
estimated that in 1990 the rainforests covered and area between
11.5 and 12.4 million km (Achard et al., 2002). The Brazilian
Legal Amazon (BLA), has approximately 5 million km , represents
about 30% of the rainforests being the largest contiguous
rainforest in the planet and home a vast biodiversity (Foley et
al., 2007). I.",
