Abstract

This paper investigated agricultural and tree plantation land use and the amount of abandoned cultivated land through an interview survey conducted in Domkhar village, in Ladakh, northern India. The area of cultivated land in the upper village, Gongma, was significantly greater than in the lower village, Do, because the lower village had changed the agricultural system. Tree plantations and fruit growing were implemented at Barma, the middle village, and Do, rather than at Gongma, because of the good weather conditions, and this was thought to be supported by the market needs of Leh. The proportion of abandoned cultivated land at Do was greater than that at Barma and Gongma because each household in Do cultivated marginal areas at higher altitude. A future task is to resolve the relationships among agricultural land area and cultivated crops, stock, and the location of plantation and fruit trees and the geographic condition of abandoned cultivated land and its distance from houses.
