The Model of Digital Cartographic Layers of Different Scales to Calculate the Ratios of Cartographic Generalizations: An Applied Study to Anah City

Abstract

The research aims to give an accurate perception of the role of modern technologies, represented by geographic information systems, in extracting data and information, and then building a geographical database for urban land uses in an Ana city to reach generalized models based on the source map with a scale of 1/5000 and then building generalized models through The application of digital generalization elements according to the different standards adopted in the research (1/10000, 1/25000, 1/50000, 1/100000) in order to reach the end to the best results in the cartographic production of these models in a way that facilitates the process of understanding and perception by finding The most appropriate way to represent this data on a map according For the functional importance of each of the uses through disposal to eliminate overlap between uses Depending on the generalization elements of selecting, deleting, simplifying, smoothing, coding and exaggeration, and finally, as The research showed that there is a difference in the areas, uses and preparation of methods when moving from one scale to another. the research concluded by building a three-dimensional model to simulate the natural process of generalizing digital cartography according to different scales.
