1.1 Buf fer ing

A buffer in GIS is a zone around a map feature measured in units of distance or time. A buffer is often used for spatial analysis.

make 200m buffer polygons from a highway.


Add railway.shp in “tokyo23” folder and make 100m buffer polygons from the railways.tokyo23.

2 Input “100” in the form.

3) Check the checkbox of “Dissolve buffer results”.

->An optional dissolve can be performed to combine overlapping buffers.

1) Choose railway.shp as a vector data.

Vector > Geoprocessing Tool > Clip


A buffer polygon can be created from not only poline data but also point data and polygon data．


Exerc ise 1

Create 250m buffer polygon data from each station and save it as “station_buffer250.shp”.

Meguro city can be selected by “Select layer by attribute” or “Select Features” from “ku.shp”.

Add “library.shp” and “ku.shp”. Clip libraries only in Meguro city.

Check the check box of “Use only selected features” and you can clip the target layer based on a clip layer which is selected.

Check the check box of “Use only selected features” and you can clip the target layer based on a clip layer which is selected.


Railways in only Meguro city are intersected.


1) Choose following features only in Setagaya ward.• dentist.shp• station.shp• road.shp

2) Create following features in Setagaya ward.• 250m buffer polygons from each station.

Exerc ise2


dentist station road

ANSWER

1)Clip(or intersect) a dentist, a station and a road using “ku.shp” selecting Setagaya ward.


ANSWER

2) Dentists in the buffers are shown.


2 Spat ia l Data Handl ing


2.1Se lect Layer By Locat ion

Features can be selected by not only an attribute but also location.

ExampleSelect a dentist within 500m from a station

Select a ward which a highway go through.

Select a ward which borders on Meguro ward

Select a seven eleven in Meguro ward


Add “station.shp” and “dentist.shp” in “tokyo23” folder into layer. Choose a dentist within 500m from a station in Tokyo special districts.


Create 500m buffer polygons from each station.


Select a dentist within the buffers.

Choose a target layer in “selected features” and an overlapped layer in “intersect features”.

Vector > Research Tool > Select by location “Select by location” covers the following spatial relationship among features.

- within

- contain


Selected features color yellow.

The result show about 70% dentists locate in the place within 500m from station.

5129 in 6985 are selected. It may take a little while to select features.

Selected rows color blue in the attribute table.


If more advanced search methods than “Contains” and “Within” are required, the plugin “Spatial Query Plugin” will be useful.

- “Spatial Query Plugin” will appear if the checkbox in “QGIS Plugin Manager” is checked.

- Intersects A intersects B- Contains A contains B- Is disjoint- Equals A equals B- Overlaps A overlaps B- Crosses A crosses B- Touches A touches B- Within A within B

Vector > Spatial Query


1) Search the ward which intersect the highway.

2) Count the number of a supermarket within 250m from each station

using “station_buffer250.shp” created at Exercise1.

Exerc ise3


ANSWER

1) the borders which intersect highways.


467 shops

ANSWER

2) Count the number of a supermarket within 250m from each station.


2.2 Spat ia l Jo in

Joins attributes from one feature to another based on the spatial

relationship. The target features and the joined attributes from the join

features are written to the output feature class.

Add “convenience.shp” in “tokyo23” and save only “seven eleven” as “seven_eleven.shp”. Then join the attribute from “ku.shp” to it.

Check the checkbox of “Take attributes of first located feature”.

Vector > Data Management Tool > Join attributes by location


Attribute of “ku” is joined to “seven eleven”.

Attributes of “seven eleven” Attribute of “ku”

Add Census of commerce of 500m scale units

(H16_commerce.shp) and Census of population of block

scale unit(pop.shp). Then join the attributes from

“H16_commerce” to “pop”.

Exerc ise4


A block unit sometimes contains 500m grids and has more than 2 grids. Attribute summary should be “Take summary of interesting features.

If you want get an attribute value more accurately among different unit features, It would be one of the method to divide the value based on area of the features.
