<div>I always use QGIS 1.7.4 and 1.8.0 versions. I am unable to
find the adjacent/ nearer/adjoining polygons(villages) of a
polygon(reserved forest) which are in a shape file. Actually
there is a reserved forest area which is in polygon and some
village boundaries are closer to the reserved forest boundary.
How can I find the villages which boundaries are close to the
reserved forest boundary. Which query or tools will be used for
it?</div>

You might consider to create a buffer around the villages as a new
polygon shapefile. Make the buffer distance whatever you think is
"close to the reserved forest". THen use the
Vector->Geoprocessing->Intersect tool to find which buffer
polygons intersect with the forest area.<br>
<br>
If you want the actual minimum distance from each village to the
forest area, I'd suggest to import both polygon layers into
Spatialite and use the ST_Distance function.<br>
