FYI all. My contacts at REACH have moved on from it, does anyone here have contacts with the current REACH Jordan team?
In a larger sense these questions of sustainability and long-term accuracy will be a recurring issue for humanitarian mapping of camps so it would be good to explore this topic more. I would type some thoughts but I'm on a tiny phone screen right now. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Frederik Ramm" <[email protected]> Date: 21 Dec 2015 06:00 Subject: [OSM-talk] Zaatari refugee camp, Jordan / UNHCR / REACH To: "Talk Openstreetmap" <[email protected]> Cc: Hi, I see that there's a lot of detail mapped at this refugee camp http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=32.29460120201111&mlon=36.3242769241333#map=14/32.2946/36.3243 but when inspecting things more closely, most information seems to come from imports that are more than a year old. How stable are camps like this - is it prudent to assume that either (a) if there was a greengrocer two years ago in a place, it will likely still be there? or (b) the people who have imported data two years ago as part of their job/project/assignment will still be around and change things as necessary? or (c) people living in the camp have the necessary training and resources to take map updates into their own hands? I'd love to get in touch with people who mapped this camp, or others in the more recent past, for a couple of general refugee camp mapping questions.
