Definition
就近 (jiù jìn) is an adverb meaning 'nearby (for convenience)' — it emphasizes doing something at the closest convenient place, rather than simply indicating a location. Unlike 附近 (fù jìn, a noun for 'neighborhood') or 跟前 (gēn qián, 'by one's side'), 就近 directly modifies a verb to express taking action at the nearest spot.
