In that tutorial we will see how to create distance buffers around a specific set of features. For instance, to draw a 200m buffer distance from a road, talweg, radionuclides concentration peaks, …

File to be used in that tutorial is:

/dss_course_dataset/qgis/6-vector-spatial-analysis/road_eldorado_900913.shp

Note that if you want to specify the distance in meters, you will need to choose a map projection for your layer (here EPSG: 900913).

See video tutorial either on your local copy or on YouTube QGIS-Creating Buffers
