Nick & John, Determining where to draw the edge of landuse=residential can be difficult. Here in Ethiopia most of the population lives in a rural setting where they farm areas of 1 to 10 hectares in size. http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/6.9634/38.4408 There are places where people live in villages, but often dwellings are quite dispersed.
I would suggest that an additional landuse tag would be appropriate. landuse=rural_residential ? landuse=agriculture_residential ? landuse=pastoral_agriculture ? Additionally the highway tagging needs to be updated as well. highway=rural_residential deprecate highway=unclassified for highway=minor_road These are some of the topics that I am hoping will be discussed at SOTM Africa in Kampala in July. http://sotmafrica.org/ <http://sotmafrica.org/> Emmor Nile (Palolo) On Tue, Mar 28, 2017 at 9:58 PM, Nick Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry > > Missed the list with my reply. > > Nick (OSM=Tallguy) > my phone is responsible for any spelling mistakes! > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: "Nick Allen" <[email protected]> > Date: 28 Mar 2017 19:57 > Subject: Re: [HOT] landuse=residential within landuse=residential > To: "john whelan" <[email protected]> > Cc: > > I think it depends on the project instructions. > > For instance the Aweil tasks such as http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/2525 > Have a link to a very good diary entry with good screenshots indicating > largish residential boundaries. > > Some of the others say something like 2 buildings. > > Nick (OSM=Tallguy) > my phone is responsible for any spelling mistakes! > > On 28 Mar 2017 18:48, "john whelan" <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm starting to see areas where someone has mapped a largish area > landuse=residential and other mappers have tightly mapped groups of > buildings and tagged landuse=residential within this. > > I'm not sure whether to ignore them or delete one or the other? > > Thoughts please. > > Thanks John > > _______________________________________________ > HOT mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot > > > > _______________________________________________ > HOT mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot > >
