1. IntroductionMap generalization is a crucial process in multi-scale spatial representation related to map design. Automated map generalization is a technology that simplifies complex geographic data into map representations suitable for specific purposes and scales using computer algorithms. As geographic information systems (GISs) advance and data complexity increases, the need for automated map generalization has become more critical.
