Using Digital Surface Model measured with remote sensing technology, some estimations of surface roughness were carried out in urban areas. Roughness density, total space and total volume of the surface roughness were estimated for each area of 3 terrains; Kanda-Marunouchi, Yokohama-Kouhoku, Meguro-Himonya. As the results of the estimations, Digital Surface Model has enough accuracy for the quantitative estimation of the surface roughness in urban areas and can be used for the estimation of the surface roughness.
