GIS techniques and tips: Map generalization (ustep5c)

You will learn: How to simplify a map without losing its detail.  

In this video you’ll see that the appearance of our Land Use map is heavily influenced by the way the data in it is categorized. There's two facets to this...

Map Generalization: For the purpose of this exercise I’ve collapsed 21 Land Use categories into 9 Land Use categories by generalizing them. I’ll talk about my reasoning for doing this and how I approached the map generalization task.

Time Series: The map is formatted to be used as a time series. That means that instead of having separate maps for each year that Land Use was interpreted, we can have a single map that's capable of mapping each year that Land Use was interpreted.

You need to watch this video to understand the details of this.
