Technically speaking, it could be considered a special case of a 
landuse=residential because the people sort of _reside_ there, only there are 
no residential buildings and the mode of residence is very different from what 
the tag usually denotes.

along these tags you could add informal=yes although this remains still very 
generic.

I would go with a landuse, encampment?


how big are these areas, are these spots for a handful or a few dozens (or even 
hundreds or thousands) of people?

The larger ones local to me may be a dozen? Not something I look for or map. 
They tend to want to 'hide' to reduce the possibility of harassment. However I 
expect that these could be refuges in other parts of the world and may then go 
into the hundreds. I see no point in placing some limit in either direction on 
a suitable tag.
There is no limit on the size of a building nor the length of a road so why 
raise the issue of the size of the area?
