For my thesis I'm modeling the identification of recreation areas.
Therefore, there has been a survey where people were asked to specify where they recreate. They had to indicate this place on a map and give a radius. Now I have to analyse which areas were most visited, and afterwards use the data to give a weighted rating with the travel distance.
So, I use QGIS to Buffer the data points by using the given radius. Now, I want to calculate for every point in the country how many times it was visited.
Any thoughts how to do this in QGIS?

You could use the Intersect tool (Vector > Geoprocessing Tools > Intersect) on the buffers and then to find the number of intersections it would simply be the total number of attributes - the number of points.
