Hello dear Mappers, Hope you all are doing great. I need a kind suggestion from you guyz.
Last week I facilitated a OSM training at Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) which is the is the only national Statistical institution responsible for collecting, compiling and disseminating statistical data of all the sectors of the Bangladesh economy to meet and provide the data-needs of the users and other stake holders like national level planners and other agencies of the Govt. Under the auspices of the computer wing of BBS, a development project entitled *"Strengthening Capacity of BBS in Population and Demographic Data Collection Using GIS"* is being implemented. The objective is to prepare digital enumeration area maps for conducting various censuses and surveys, aiming to reduce non-sampling errors. I introduced them with OSM, now they want to do a piloting. In that case some issues arise like, *How should the House/building draw: rectangle or as a point ? *since, In JOSM based task mapping each households mapping is difficult.and during field paper mapping to draw the exact shape is difficult. That is why people are suggesting to map the households as point not rectangle. Would you please suggest me *what should I do in this case from their experience (if have) ? It is very important for OSM, if we can make it successful then whole Bangladesh will be mapped in future by BBS.* Thanks in Advance.
