Hello everyone,
I have seen many papers examining landuse effect. But don't find the reason behind choosing the buffer length. If there is anyone who can give some tricks about appropriate buffer distance, it will be beneficial.
Looking forward for your suggesions.

The buffer distance to examine the roadside land use effect on crashes in India should be based on the size of the study area, the crash density, and the characteristics of the land use environment. Generally, a buffer of at least 500 meters or more should be used to ensure that the effect of roadside land use on crashes is adequately captured.
The land-use along a road is not that essential.
Essential is to have a separation between a road for cars and trucks and a biker and footpath trail on both sides of a road.
The buffer zone can be a running meter of sturdy vegetation between road and biker trails.
It will save a lot of biker and walker lives!
Cheers
