Abstract

Fuzzy Geographic Information Systems (GISs) are part of a qualitative approach to spatial reasoning, and buffering in fuzzy GISs is an operation that is analogous to the core buffering operation in standard GISs. This paper contains an analysis of the implementation of buffering operations over fuzzy GISs represented as fuzzy raster maps, and suggests a number of improvements to these operations. It also briefly summarizes research issues that are raised in this investigation.
