The objective of this study was to develop a system for microcomputers containing the sampling processes most used in forest inventories in Amazonia. As a starting point, 30 forest invetories from the Brazilian Amazon region were studied in order to identify the type of information which they gathered and the results generated. It was also observed form in which this information was organized according to specified sampling design, in order to fit system parameters to user's needs. As a follow up this, the following steps were carried out: logical and physical project, programming, codification and debugging, testing and installment of the system. The principal techniques utilized were structured analysis and programming, based on knowledge of hardware, Dbase programming language, compilation with Clipper, dendrometry and forest mensuration statistics. The resulting system is caracterized by: operational simplicity, modularity and adaptability to different sampling system, such as sampling with conglomerates, systematic sampling, stratified sampling and random sampling, all adequated to fixed area sampling methods. The system is composed of four subsystems: Sampling, Calculation, Report and Support, with a total of 16 modules. It cam be used on PC-line computers with a capacity of 16 and 32 bits. The system was named as SINFLOR (Sistemas para Inventários Florestais na Amazônia) and it is its version 1.0 (experimental version). The modules of the system were tested using data from inventory of the Antimari State Forest, Acre.
