I encountered a tile with many small (2 or 3 houses) areas in the hills of Nepal marked as landuse=Residential. It is my understanding that this tag should be used only for true "Settlements" of 20 or more houses?
I read somewhere that counting the number of "Residential" areas can be used as a rough guide to population. This only works if they are all about same size. The validation instructions for my task: #1018 - Nepal Earthquake, 2015, detailed mapping 2nd pass, states "residential/settlement areas - validate if all settlements (a cluster of 20 or so houses) are enclosed with landuse=residential polygon/enclosed way." Is it correct for me to remove the landuse tag for these tiny groups of houses? Tom
