Buffer Map: Spatial Entities

Aim:

To create a Buffer Map using the chosen point, Line and Polygon attributes.

Procedure:

Step 1: Map Input

Identify the point, Line and Polygon attribute component for the location dataset. For this session, the settlements were digitized from the given topographic map of Nellore & Cuddapah Districts.

Step 2: Map Processing

• ·         Locate the Buffer tool in toolbox. In this session “Buffer (Analysis)” tool was chosen
• ·         Define the Tool Input “Settlements”, “Road” and “Waterbodies” Features and  the linear Distances that will be computed as buffer distance (300 meters, 100 meters and 5 Kilometers respectively) and specify the target output location
• ·         Click “Ok” to generate the map output

Step 3: Map Display

Create Custom Map Layout with the necessary map elements and Export map to Jpeg format

Conclusion:

Buffer maps for the chosen point, Line and Polygon attributes are generated using ArcGis 10.1.
