ANALISA BUFFER DALAM SISTEM INFORMASI GEOGRAFIS UNTUK PERENCANAAN RUANG KAWASAN

Abstract

ABSTRACT
On the scale of area or region in spatial planning, it is important to evaluate and
to predict the new spatial plan and policy, whether it is effective or not to be
implemented. It is intended that the results of the spatial planning in scale of area or
region, can be optimized to accommodate the needs. Geographical Information
System as a computerized instrument of planning is pretty decent to be used for those
stages of planning (evaluation and prediction). More specifically one of its analysis
feature, buffer analysis, is capable to measure the effectiveness of the presence of
public facilities –for example- in terms of coverage/distribution of services (in the
context of evaluation stage). In addition, buffer analysis also capable to predict
whether the spatial policies and its physical implementation possible to be place in
accordance with the goal of the planning.
