 2)
 entrance=inter-building - an entrance that is designated for only moving
 between buildings in a facility, even if physically accessible from outside.
 Usually on the ends of an outdoor walkway considered “indoors because of
 cultural custom rather than physical access restriction (IE: indoor shoes
 required). Not to be used on normal outdoor pathway entrances.

The term inter-building seems too narrow to me. I guess you could also use
the entrance to have a cigarette, then return to the same building. Some
smoking areas or terraces are not connected to another building at all.

We could think about some access=* tag like access=checked-in, but this
would get us to mapping processes instead of geographical data. I think that
specifying one entrance=main is sufficient for everyday needs. Those who are
familiar with the facility already know which entrance when to use, and
those who are not should head to the main entrance.

I think we should focus on the shoes, and not on the students and
inter-buildings. Maybe there are some international suuchools in Japan
where you can walk in shoes, and have an entrance for students. How would
you tag that?

You need a tag like access:shoes=no for inter-building passages and/or
doors, and access:shoes=locker for entrances where there is a locker on the
other side.

+1, shoe access is important in other context as well (e.g. mosques)

[Tagging] access=student and entrance=inter-building: comments?

2015-06-08 Thread johnw
A month or so ago, new entrance=types came up, and I thought I had a couple new 
values for entrance. I’ve been thinking about them, and had these two ideas. 

Please comment on both. 


1) 
Access=student - access designated for students of a school/facility, similar 
to customers of a shop or visitors of a facility. Does not imply age or gender, 
though it is used at mostly at K-12 facilities. For use with entrance=* or 
possibly with certain school amenities (Locker rooms, bathrooms, bicycle 
parking). 

2)
entrance=inter-building - an entrance that is designated for only moving 
between buildings in a facility, even if physically accessible from outside. 
Usually on the ends of an outdoor walkway considered “indoors because of 
cultural custom rather than physical access restriction (IE: indoor shoes 
required). Not to be used on normal outdoor pathway entrances.



Rationale:

In Japan, all schools (greater than 99%) have a separate student entrance. It 
is usually very large (or leads to a large entrance hall), as all people have 
to change shoes, so there are hundreds of shoe lockers just for the enrolled 
students. Teachers have a separate shoe locker set, as well as for for 
visitors. 

There is also a separate Main entrance, and some large schools have separate 
teachers and visitors entrances. While the visitors and teachers (employees) 
access is easily represented by existing access tags, “students” is not.  And 
specifying by age range is not ideal, as a) we don’t have to specify the age of 
other entrances, and b) it’s a title - like visitor or employee or customer - 
which is very often the basis of access=*. And access=customers is a very 
common access type when dealing with different “titles” of people accessing a 
shop (ie: a private parking lot vs a customer parking lot), so access=students 
should follow the same theme when applied to entrance=yes. “students” are the 
“customers” of schools, in some ways, but not in others, so I want a separate 
tag.

To illustrate the situation, I uploaded a picture of my school to flickr, as it 
is difficult to find pictures on the web that show the three types of entrances 
*together* found at all Japanese primary, secondary, and high schools (we’re 
talking hundreds of thousands of entrances here, not one or two). 

https://www.flickr.com/photos/javbw/18580176942/ 
https://www.flickr.com/photos/javbw/18580176942/

On the far left is the “student” entrance. This is where attending students are 
required to enter the school. Besides special events, Only students use this 
entrance. 

Because our school is a bit small, the entrance is not so big, but larger 
schools have very large entrances / entrance halls.

On the far right, standard entrance=yes/main. Employees, guests, parents, use 
that entrance day to day. 

Again, because our school is small, they are close together. Other places have 
different entrances for each grade of student, and teacher / main entrances on 
opposite sides of the building. 

The middle entrance (with the tile walkway) is an inter-building pathway with 
an inter-building entrance. Because of the Japanese (Asian?) style of changing 
shoes when entering schools and many non-retail buildings, there is a very 
strict divide between “indoors” and “outdoors” - even when there are many many 
buildings with walkways open to the air or from building to building. This tile 
walkway is considered “inside”.  While physically accessible, This entrance is 
not for people to access the school - it is for inter-building access only. 
After entering the school normally, anyone can use the inter-building entrance, 
so there is no inherent access=private or similar - especially since 
access=private means an entrance you can’t use - where as this is one you CAN 
use - to move only from building to building. 

Now, with only two buildings, tagging /mapping such a walk or entrance at my 
school is not so important. But large schools, buildings, and historic places 
(Japanese castles, palaces, temples, etc)  have many covered walkways and 
entrances to buildings that are physically accessible, but not from “the 
outside” - You are able to freely move around (access=customer, permissive, or 
whatever) - but only if you have entered and changed your shoes. 

When tracing imagery of Japanese schools, these walkways and entrances are 
easily seen/inferred (the walkways between buildings are always covered, 
whereas normal footpaths are not)  - and often times an amenity building will 
have a inter-building entrance and a separate entrance=main (like a school’s 
gym, performance hall, or other venue) - where students “inside” and visitors 
“outside” access the same facility through different entrances for an event. 

So I want some feedback on access=student and entrance=inter-building to refine 
my thinking.  Perhaps entrance=student is more in line with entrance=main, 
service, etc.

Hi,

 I guess I need a solution for the path access too - because
 access=private also seems an incorrect label - or would both be
 covered by access=inder-building ?

just out of curiosity, what would happen if you *did* use it as an

Is this about entrance usage or about shoes? If it is about shoes, then
this seems to matter more for the inter-building *path* than for the

We’re talking about the entrances used by several million students every day. 

What would happen if we forgot about the designated” nature access=customers?

I’m not saying about you need to have “inside shoes on the path… cars drive 
over it. I’m saying that the entrance, though accessible from the driveway like 
the others, is not to be used except for inter-building foot traffic. 

This is because of a custom of separating inside-ouside, leading to extremely 
common walkways that are easily visible, mappable - and entrances that are 
accessible and visible, but you cannot use - until you have entered the 
structure. They are not one-way, as they are entrance/exits - once you start 
inside. 

besides schools, this happens in temples, hospitals, and other places. 

So these entrances are used by the same people - all the people - who just 
entered into entrance=yes or main - so putting entrance=yes+access=private 
seems wrong  - so I’m looking for a way to tag a entrance as “yeah, you can use 
it after went through the entrance=yes/main” 

I guess I need a solution for the path access too - because access=private also 
seems an incorrect label - or would both be covered by access=inder-building ?

Well, if it is an accident, the students would point at the other entrance, and 
you'd immediately start bowing and backing up and repeating how sorry you were, 
then go in the other door(s).

If it were on purpose (aka - I don't need to go through the marked entrance and 
go through shoe ceremony), and you were a visitor or guest there, it would be 
as rude as umm... peeing in the kitchen sink at a house you're visiting, while 
the owner looks on disapprovingly - to some, it would be like pooping in the 
floor like an animal. 

As soon as you go in through the main entrance - where the ritual of removing 
your outside shoes is performed, and the visitor steps up onto the raised 
floor signifying the inside - then it's business as normal for as long as you 
are inside - you can go anywhere considered inside - along these 
inter-building pathways to go to any other building. Most Japanese people have 
a pair of inside shoes they use for when they go to visit a place (lets say 
for a school event or an event at a sports hall), and expect slippers to be 
provided at some places or situations, like the dentist, chiropractor, or 
stopping by to visit a teacher at school.  My feet are big (30cm) - so no 
slipper fits me, so I walk around in my socks, which is probably worse in 
reality than my shoes,  but the proper and expected thing to do to be 
respectful. 

Beverage deliverymen who use the inter-building pathways to access vending 
machines directly (some schools have a couple hundred meters of it that 
connects many buildings, so there are vending machines along the path)  - they 
bypass all the ceremony leave their outside shoes next to the (in my example) 
tile walkway or the door I'm trying to label, and complete the restocking job 
in socks, as that is their compromise to do the job ASAP, but still show their 
respect for the inside.

It is about the shoes somewhat, - but its brought about because you are 
properly entering and showing respect for the inside of the location - and 
that showing respect for the inside is the whole point - the shoes bit is a 
result of the showing respect goal. 

I hope that helps a bit.

yeah, thanks for the detailed explanation. I learnt a lot about an

As for the tagging, there definitely should be something, and on first
