Hi Mishari,
This is efffectively a good challenge to map such area.  With the dense 
housing, remote mappers cannot interpret the imagery and spot either klones or 
paths.  From local knowledge, 

The first step would be to trace as much info as possible from the imagery :- 
big buildins- parks- klones and paths (with local knowledge, you can probably 
interpret the images and trace)

For the second step, as you suggested, various methods could be used. This is 
also and interesting challenge to try various ones and compare. With enough 
details added to the map, it would be possible I think to use FieldPapers and 
add POI's as restaurants or other features.

Drone imagery is also interesting if you can have authorization to fly in the 
area. We used drone imagery in north of Haiti to trace in dense areas and we 
could see easily paths around the houses. But the area was not as dense as 
yours.

 Objet : [OSM-talk] Mapping Klong Toey Slums
   
Hello,
 
I just wanted to feedback from the community for our effort to map the slums in 
Klong Toey, Bangkok. The size of the area is about 1km x 2 km around here and I 
have captured a sequence on Mapillay here. There are several challenges here 
including access to internet and English literacy, so I have come up with the 
following rough plan.
 
1. Put out a call for volunteers, work with NGOs in the area to find local kids 
who are interested in putting their community on the map.
2. Train the kids in using ID editor. I think I will limit them to doing 
specific things i.e. walkways, houses, trees, restaurant, convenience stores 
with individual kids limited to 2-3 features to avoid confusion then as they 
get the hang of it, increase their repertoire.
3. Take over a local internet cafe for a day for training and mapping purpose.
 
Now I'm not sure about the rest of the process, you can see from Mapillary that 
due to the somewhat dense nature of the community, GPS is inaccurate and 
neither Bing nor Mapbox has enough of a resolution to be meaningful. So I have 
several (possibly overlapping) ideas.
 
a) hire or borrow a drone to take aerial imagery and upload to openaerialmap 
and use that as a basemap but I'm not sure how possible it will be to see 
through the roofs.
b) get a team of surveyor students from Prof. Garavig to map out the paths in 
the community (it's pretty big so I'm not sure how tine consuming it is) then 
have the community kids fill in the blank.
c) use walking papers and have the kids go out, sketching what they see from 
the rooftop but I feel this may be prone to errors.
 
Does anyone have any experience or tips they can share on how we can achieve 
this?
 
Best regards
Mishari
