and track calculated the total amount of area within the range or buffer of this particular
type of road. We calculated five buffer zones ranging from 5 kilometres down
to 1 kilometre. Figures A2 to A4 in Appendix A present the buffer zones for main
roads, tarmac roads and tracks respectively. Note that as the buffer zones narrowed
down from 5 to 1 kilometre, the percentages of total land area decrease. In particular,
in North Uganda particularly, the areas are less close to any type of road than in
other parts of Uganda.
