What is a Buffer?

A buffer is a space or zone established at a certain distance surrounding a geographic feature, such as a point, line, or polygon. It is frequently used to examine spatial relationships and proximity in GIS (Geographic Information Systems).


For Example:


  • A road's buffer could display locations within 100 meters of the road.

  • A river's buffer could be used to designate protected areas or places that are prone to flooding.


In applications where it's critical to ascertain what is within a specific distance of a feature, such as environmental impact assessment, urban planning, conservation, and public safety, buffers are helpful. Both vector and raster analysis frequently use buffers, which can be uniform or variable.
