Question

The government aim to settle more people alongside Butibori to Nagpur main road. How can the government find out the number of trees needed to be cut alongside the highway for this project?

• A. They can do an overlay analysis of the Butibori - Nagpur main road.
• B. They can do a network analysis of the Butibori - Nagpur main road.
• C. They can do a buffer analysis of the Butibori - Nagpur main road.
• D. They can do all of the above to get a better result.

Answer 1

The correct option is C They can do a buffer analysis of the Butibori - Nagpur main road.

They can create buffer zones alongside the Butibori- Nagpur main road. This can help them to analyse the number of trees adjacent to the main road. Network analysis cannot be used to find the number of trees and overlay analysis can only tell the density of trees.
