Dear Manon and HOT community, I have mainly 2 points about this new tagging proposal:
* It seems resonable to me to use the 'old' tag ( amenity=social_facility + social_facility=shelter + social_facility:for=* ) for small refugee sites or even single facilities. But, according to my experience mapping in Africa, up to now this tag schema had been used also for big refugee sites, which is actually the new tag you are proposing. Many of those refugee sites (already on OSM) are coming from UN-related activities as well (and not only), conducted in the past. Maybe it can be interesting to explore the situation on the map further by checking those sites first. (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:social_facility%3Dshelter) [Nodes] 1 420 3.37 % [Ways] 2 219 6.51 % [Relations] 44 2.17 % * Motivated also from the first point, could you elaborate why are you proposing an amenity=refugee_site and not a social_facility=refugee_site? This could help not to have a totally different situation wrt the previous tagging schema. I don't know if this option had already been discussed. In (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dsocial_facility) also outdoor area is considered part of the facility.
