Like :-) But what's the reason why they don't want rice puddies mapped? I also don't map rice paddies (it adds unnecessary clutter and makes the map hard to look at).
In the case of http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/969 I decided to do the opposite and experiment mapping rice paddies (landuse=farmland) and coconut trees (landuse=orchard) (related to the on-going military operations over there) http://osm.org/go/4sHUF61w I am biased towards mapping names neighborhoods (sub villages / sitio /purok). The trick is to look for the village center of a particular community. But since there is no way of verifying a particular sitio's boundaries (on ground), I thought identifying farmland boundaries/polygon can define the shape of populated places... instead of mapping residential polygons Observed: -Most people don't live in the middle of ricefield (for obvious reason) - access roads and prone to flooding -Most people live near the the roads -Some people lived under the cover of coconut leaves (coconut plantation) - (where tagging landuse=residential can be tricky) - for something you cannot see/verify -Some are not visible under clouds (bing) So if I tag majority of the rice fields, then I narrow down the focus of hunting the center of the sub-villages (sitios). Because leaving them "blank" for other mappers in OSM, then it can mean anyhing, eg. like unmapped areas. But if you see it's a crop land, then you are assured it's mapped; that there is less (or no) people in the particular polygon. In Luzon, I usually look for "basketball courts" (both open and covered courts); almost always near a barangay hall, health center, purok hall etc. (the center of community) I haven't been to Mindanao, at least in the above subject area. I cannot find the basketball courts :-( So I'm hunting down clues for school grounds and religious buildings. Maybe just maybe, they are equivalent to the Luzon's "basketball courts" (as the center of activity of most villages). Any ideas (from veteran Mindanao mappers)?
