Sent from Mail for Windows 10 I believe that too many people are confusing the landuse=residential with the boundary=* tags. There should not be any area names, hamlet names, community names attached to a landuse tag. The landuse tag is to indicate the use of the land (residential, industrial,

I’m slightly confused by this discussion. I live in a “hamlet” which is within a “dispersed settlement”. “Dispersed settlement” describes the pattern of isolated dwellings, farmyards, hamlets, villages etc. on a much larger scale. We don’t really seem to have tags that currently describe settl

> for flow_capacity, should m3/h be preferred instead of lpm ? Normally, the best unit for fire purposes is lpm (or gpm), because you can easily determine how many minutes it takes to refill e.g. a 4500 litres fire engine. Also fire pumps specs are in lpm or gpm. > fire_hydrant:coupling_type ->

We have plenty of examples of dispersed/scattered settlement patterns which have been mapped without having to worry about lack of tags: more or less the entire Celtic fringe of NW Europe (Brittany, Cornwall, Wales, Ireland, Scottish Highlands) shows this settlement pattern. The nucleated towns

Also note that, at least here in Spain, in a dispersed settlement the 'streets' usually have no name and the postal address of the building is given by the name of the settlement and a housenumber. So this is a valid postal address "Lugar Anocheza, 10" where "Lugar" means place. ___

I've updated the page [1] with the new tags that we are discussing in this list. Please check the page and update it (for example with valid coupling_type values). The aim is to have all the new tags in one page. And when we will be ready, insert them in the official fire hydrant page. We could

Hello I would like to say that here, in Spain, we are in the same case. The goverment office for population census give in [1] for each unit (settlement) two values refering to the nucleus population and to the dispersed population. Very frequently, there are units with only dispersed population a
