Among all of information on a map geographical names are considerable elements because they contain spatially solid concepts to help map users to identify a wide range of environmental features. like other elements, their presence must depend on the controls of cartographic generalisation, which are objective, scale, graphic limits, and quality of data in order to simplify the information to manageable proportions. The scale of the finished map-to-be is a fundamental factor in the kind and degree of geographical- name generalisation that will be employed. When the cartographer has complete freedom to select the scale of a map, that decision may be greatly influence by the generalisation needed to fit the objective. This study aims to investigate the variations of the generalisation effects in various areas (i. e. Tao-yuang and Yi-Lan counties) using spatial data analysis. It is hoped that the results of this study could he used to uncover the rules of the geographical-name generalisation and set an example to any further research regarding automatic map production.
