Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is an important component of GIS applications in many
socio-economic areas. Especially, DEM has a very important role in monitoring and managing
natural resources, preventing natural hazards, and supporting spatial decision making.
Usually, DEM is built by interpolation from a limited set of sample points. Thus, the accuracy
of the DEM is depended on the used interpolation method. By analyzing the data of experimental
DEM creation using three popular interpolation techniques (inverse distance weighted - IDW,
