CREATING BUFFER MAPS TO IMPROVE THE SECURITY OF AIRPORTS AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURES

In an era marked by evolving threats and heightened security concerns, the protection of vital infrastructure stands as a paramount imperative. In this article, we delve into the innovative approach of infrastructure protection through buffer analysis, highlighting its efficacy in safeguarding airports, power plants, transportation networks, and more. Join us as we explore how MAPOG helps to CREATE BUFFER MAPS TO IMPROVE SECURITY OF AIRPORTS AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURES. Discover the power of proactive infrastructure protection and stay one step ahead in an ever-changing landscape, only with MAPOG MAP ANALYSIS.

KEY CONCEPTS

Our goal is to create a map of buffer zones around the Airports to help decision-makers make effective decisions for infrastructure Protection. For Demonstration purposes, we have taken the airports of Madagascar. Buffer zones have multiple applications, some of them are creating a map of school area coverage through buffer analysis and creating a map to find suitable sites for constructing a new house. All the GIS data used are available in MAPOG GIS DATA. and are linked at the end of the blog.
