Abstract.Information granulation is very essential to human problem solving, and hence has a significant impact on the design and implementation of intelligent systems. Most granulation methods did not go deep in using topological structure. In this work, we aim to use general topological structures as tools for decision making in multi-valued information systems ``MVIS". General relations are used to get granules that form subbase for topologies. These topologies are applied for obtaining discernibility matrix and reducts. The suggested topological structures open up the way for applying rich amount of topological facts and methods in the process of granular computing.
