Julien, and others, thanks a lot for this text. I still have to go through all the details, but here are already some remarks.
- Me too, would love to see landuse=forest be used in a more strict way, only for areas where timber is really used for commercial purposes. It's even possible that at certain periods there are no trees in such areas. For the rest I would love that landcover=trees would be more accepted and rendered. One of the reasons is that landuse=forest clashes with e.g. landuse=residential in large private parks. But I fear too any people stick to their "managed" definition and just want to see trees on the default map. - Some mapper split a landuse=farmyard and use landuse=residential around the farm itself. I do not do this. What do you think about this ? - During one of my recent walks I found some areas like https://xian.smugmug.com/OSM/OSM-2017/2017-04-02-Postel-AK/i-5D62hDt some were larger than what you see on this picture, I think I would use natural=grassland on those. Other suggestions ? It was hard to take a better picture - Often it is better to use natural=tree_row instead of landuse=forest/natural=wood IMHO. regards m On Tue, Apr 25, 2017 at 9:31 AM, Julien Minet <jumi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi list, > > Following some discussions about landuse=farmland|meadow some times ago in > this list, I've written an article here > (http://www.nobohan.be/2017/04/20/landuse-osm-belgium/) about land-use > mapping in Belgium: what could be the best practices adapted to the Belgian > landscape.
