Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are essential to present the continuous surface elevation and is used for flood mapping. The use of different cross-section intervals obtained from the various spatial resolution of DEMs will affect the flood depth and inundation area estimation. Therefore, a comparison study is carried out to investigate the effect of cross-section intervals on flood expansion and flood depth which is simulated using one dimensional (1D) HEC-RAS model at Padang Terap River, Malaysia. Two digital elevation models (DEMs) imageries, Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) are used in this study. The result was evaluated using likelihood measures (F-statistics, root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute error). The findings reveal the IFSAR DEM with cross-section interval 50 m has higher F-statistics of 70% on flood inundation estimation. By proposing the methodology, flood mapping can be provided accurately by considering the error that exist in the Geographical Information System (GIS) spatial context.
