– Buffering is useful for creating a zone around a given geographic feature for
further analysis using the overlay method.
• EG a 1000′ buffer could be generated around a school to then use overlay
analysis to find out how many libraries are within 1000′ of that school.
What’s in an Area
– A basic analysis that allows a given area from one theme later to be overlaid onto
data from other themes. A good example would be – what type of soil do we find
in the school grounds or what type of industrial uses has this area been put to in
the past 50 years.
• There are two methods of performing this type of analysis:
– Feature overlay – a simple technique to drop single or multiple points into an area
– Raster overlay – best used when characteristics of multiple themes are required to be examined because
each area is referenced and combined on a grid basis
Location Analysis
– The technique best used to identify a location for a new entity – eg retail outlet.
