Greetings, In many countries people’s houses, churches, workshops and other buildings are round, not square. Or, a building can be a combination of round and square. So tagging should be building=yes. Just because a building is round does not make it a “hut”, whatever that means. It’s a home, church, or industrial building same as if it were square.
Two cents from me. Cheers! Suzan On Sep 29, 2015, at 4:15 PM, Jorieke Vyncke <jorieke.vyn...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi all, Just giving my two cents. For me mapping a building like a hut does not signify a lot. What is exactly a hut? Is it just a round building? Round buildings can be made out of several materials and have several different functions. Also why would a round building get another tag if a square building is almost the same size, made out of the same materials and has the same function? What significant is for me, is that it is a house, a granary or a roof to hide against the sun. Also the material of what it is made of is significant: roof out of straw or metal, walls out of bricks or clay ... In my opinion drawing a circle and tagging it with building = yes , and potentially other tags is the best. For me mapping buildings as huts doesn't signify a lot, on the contrary, I don't know what people who are living in the mapped 'huts' will think of it that their house is mapped like a 'hut'. I suppose it depends on how 'huts' are perceived in every culture. So yes also for this reason I prefer mapping: building=yes. Like I said, just my two cents :-) Best greetings, Jorieke 2015-09-29 11:55 GMT, john whelan <jwhelan0...@gmail.com>: > The HOT convention seems to be tag them building=yes.
