The shapely.geometry.Polygon.buffer method in Python is used to create a new polygon that is a buffer zone around the original polygon. The buffer zone is a region with a specified distance from the original polygon's boundary. The resulting polygon is an approximation of the buffer zone and its shape depends on the input polygon's complexity. The buffer method can be useful in various applications such as spatial data analysis, geospatial modeling, and urban planning.
