GIS

Software that captures, stores, analyses and visualises spatial data — the standard platform for managing heritage site inventories, buffer zones and landscape analysis.

Buffer Zone

A legally defined protected area surrounding a heritage monument — in India, 100 m prohibited and 200 m regulated zones under the AMASR Amendment Act 2010.

Coordinate Reference System

The mathematical system that defines how coordinates relate to real-world geographic locations — the standard for ensuring spatial data from different sources aligns correctly.
