hi Everybody I'm a beginner in GIS programming, I came across some problems when I try to create point-specific buffers Suppose I have multiple points and a road network with 3 urban centers, first, I want to find the nearest arterial road for a particular point A using near function; second, do sort of path analysis to create a short path which connects the point A and urban center 1, third, buffer this path (ideally like the red zone in the attachment), finally intersect the buffer layer with land use map and do some spatial statistics analysis The problem is I want to do this procedure for every single point (almost 5000) every 5 years, so is there a way to achieve this goal via Network Analyst extension? Someone mentioned maybe I need to use geodatabase too Or is this complex metric workable? Thanks a lot
