Re: [Tagging] Open Defecation Areas

Hi, Mapping areas for Open Defecation may be a little tricky in the web editor but no problem in JOSM. In many slums Open Defecation Areas(ODA) can be a lot bigger than the size of a house. Individual nodes would be used in places like between houses or dead ends. Some areas are so big they

>From what I have seen in an open defecation google image search I got to the impression we cannot map these as landuse features. I can understand someone could draw a map and mark the "open defecation areas", on a city scale, but likely not on a street scale, these are not punctual features like

Re: [Tagging] Open Defecation Areas

Overlapping “landuse=“ is fine when it represents reality correctly. For example, many city centres are both residential and commercial or commercial and retail, when the buildings are mixed use. Similarly, if you are micro mapping private residential lawns with landuse=grass, or residential

Re: [Tagging] Open Defecation Areas

Hi, I agree with you, that is why I need everyone’s input before making the proposal I did consider using the toilet tag, unfortunately there is no toilet and it would give the area a feeling of respectability. If it is piled high with plastic bags, assorted rubbish and human piss and shit

Re: [Tagging] Open Defecation Areas

You are wanting to tag something that is identifiable on-the-ground. It could be of great social value. What's not to like? The question is more about the detail rather than whether it should happen. Has there been any discussion about https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dtoilets

Re: [Tagging] Open Defecation Areas

Hi, Apologies if I started this conversation on the HOT list instead of here. I have been away for a while and my protocol is rusty. I believe that Watsan will stand for Water/Sanitation. It was probably an experiment by someone new. I also stated that 850 million people open defecate, but

Re: [Tagging] Open Defecation Areas Add disused or abandoned

One important thought. Past open defecation areas will need to remain mapped... but not as areas in use. I think these are clearly life cycle tags .. but disused does not appeal as it is unlikely that it could be used again until quite some time has past (pun sorry) abandoned might be

Re: [Tagging] Open Defecation Areas

A 'watsan:' namespace appears unnecessary unless these are areas specifically sponsored by Watsan. and I noticed a typo/autocorrect from Warin "...posting on the HOT list is for Open *Deification* Areas" which may lead to the creation of gods rather than other items. On Mon, Sep 9, 2019 at 3:40
