A situation map can be obtained by terrestrial mapping, which is a mapping process in which measurements are made directly on the earth’s surface with certain measuring equipment. 1:500 scale situation map creation through terrestrial measurement and depiction using digital technology. The stages in making a situation map begin with the creation of a basic mapping framework which includes measurements of the Horizontal Control Framework (KKH) and Vertical Control Framework (KKV), then proceed to the stage of measuring detailed points which include planimetric and height details, calculating the measurement data, and digital map creation using SIG processing software. The measurement data is realized in the form of a 1:500 scale situation map located in the Polibatam campus area, Teluk Tering, Batam Kota, Kota Batam which is then printed on A3 size paper. This situation map contains information about contours or elevations, several spatial and building situations or existing in the Polibatam campus area which is used as the basis or regional landscapes to support the development of the new Polibatam lecture building.
