Abstract

This study is about automated of digital elevation model (DEM) construction using arc macro language (AML). Generating digital elevation model (DEM) from geographic information system (GIS) module is quite complicated as well as in ARC/INFO workstation. It required data conversion and some other process that give user adversity which need to study the steps in sequence and orderly. To overcome the problem, we have to develop an automated technique in geographic information system (GIS) for generating DEM with simple steps. All procedures were developed with ARC/INFO workstation, GIS software and fully automated in Arc macro language (AML).
