I have previously asked question here but it was closed because I did not react fast enough twice already and I have put in the comments why those questions do not answer my problem. Nevertheless, my problem is still the same: I have a set of points (meteorological stations) with 5km buffers around them. Additionally, I have a set of polygons (municipalities) in which those stations are located. Each station buffer can be over 1,2,3... polygons and those can be completely different polygons.

I would like to have data on how much of the buffer is filled by each polygon but I was not able to find a function or a way to do it. So for example for point A I would have that in the buffer of 5km there is 80% of polygon B and 20% of polygon C as the output, so 4 values, two for IDs of the polygons and 2 for the percentage overlap (it could be only 2 values for other buffer or 6 etc. etc.).

Main difference to the other similar question provided is that I have 2 vector layers (Buffer with 500 buffers and Municipalities a shape file with 500 different polygons). Previous questions were analyzing this question in situations in which I know precisely the polygons and buffers analyzed, at least that is how I understood them, so after trying to use those approaches on my dataset I was not able to replicate them.

I have also commented on the approaches posted in the previous question but did not get any response to those sadly. Bottom line being I understand those approaches and was able to replicate them in a simple setting but when I do not have specific buffers/polygons I do not know how to execute them. Another way of approaching this problem was to use join attributes by location -one-to-many and then getting averages of the duplicate results, only problem is that then I take average of polygons instead of their weights corresponding to % of intersection with the buffer. In my case I do not know what polygons of the shapefile are going to intersect what buffers, or even if the buffer is going to be intersected by 1,2 or more polygons

    Stop asking new questions and go back and edit your existing questions to make clear why they are not duplicates and they will be reopened if the community agrees – Ian Turton Apr 17 '20 at 09:56
  • The tooltip of those questions told me to ask a new one if I the duplicate question is not answering my problem – voorten Apr 17 '20 at 10:07
  • Just edit the question please – Ian Turton Apr 17 '20 at 10:10
  • I have edited it but the duplicate tag is still there. On a side note in every duplicate post you have this note "Your post has been associated with a similar question. If this question doesn’t resolve your question, ask a new one." I am sorry for asking more questions but this is literally what you are advising me to do. – voorten Apr 17 '20 at 10:17
  • Once you have edited the question it goes into the reopen queue if enough people think it is clear why your question is different then it will be reopened - please take the [tour] to see how the site works – Ian Turton Apr 17 '20 at 10:19
