[HOT] How open maps and data are being used to improve access to (renewable) energy in rural Tanzania

[Paul Uithol]

For those interested in access to renewable energy and minigrids, IFC 
has published an interesting article on how OpenStreetMap data is being 
used to inform decision making around investments in mini-grids and 
solar home systems, and how open data collected and analyzed as part of 
one of our projects in Tanzania 
(https://www.hotosm.org/projects/mini-grids) are contributing to this.


Please see  https://nextbillion.net/data-off-grid-energy-tanzania/ for a 
good read and case study!


best,
Paul

Re: [HOT] Tracking vehicle movements

[Paul Uithol]

Hi Jorieke, I know Ivan has been working on some forms of open 
source/lightweight vehicle tracking recently. Ivan, do you have more 
details? Would this be fit for purpose & ready for use?

Hello all,

Forwarding you a question from Last, our MSF GIS officer in Zimbabwe:

"I wanted to find out if there is an easy app that we can use to track 
movement of vehicles throughout an area. We are working with a partner 
whom we provide fuel, so we would like to verify the allocations we 
give them as well as have an accurate budget. Currently for our cars 
we have a tracking app installed on the vehicles which is paid for but 
it is costly so it won't be sustainable to implement for this other 
partner. So possibly what I'm looking for is something which the 
driver can log when he/she commences his trip and ends it which can be 
shared with us either in real-time or near-real time."


Somebody has ideas for him?

Best regards,

Jorieke

Re: [HOT] Why the HOT obsession with low quality buildings in Africa ?

[Paul Uithol]

Hi Jean-Marc,

Thanks for bringing up the topic in a constructive manner! I do agree 
it's valuable to question and examine some of our basic assumptions 
sometimes. Please do keep in mind that to some extent this is still a 
developing field. Having access to this type & level of data we are 
creating is novel in a lot of contexts, and creating as comprehensive 
and reliable datasets as we can is also a method of the making it 
possible for people to start developing and implementing the use cases 
for this data. So to address the "why are we mapping buildings" 
question, let me sketch two current use cases where the building 
footprint data is being used by NGO and gov't partners:


 * Malaria elimination (and several other health-related use cases).
   We've been working in southern Africa and Mali with various partners
   to digitize buildings. This data is amended with data collection and
   field mapping exercises, where we record (amongst other attributes)
   building and roof materials, number of rooms, and the number of
   sleeping spaces (where the latter two are not public/OSM data). The
   building outlines (and thus size and shape of buildings) in
   conjunction with this data allow for much better extrapolation to
   inform what type of interventions to apply to which building, to
   inform procurement and distribution of bed nets, insecticide,
   logistics of spraying teams, etc (see
   
https://www.hotosm.org/updates/field-surveying-in-botswana-to-support-the-national-malaria-programme/).
 * Rural electrification (including mini-grids and other sustainable
   energy options). Information on estimated number of households, size
   and density of villages, estimated number of
   public/commercial/industrial buildings, estimated relative economic
   activity/wealth indicators, in combination with datasets on current
   electricity grid and grid expansion planning feeds into analysis on
   what which sites would be most attractive/feasible for small,
   standalone solar, hydro and wind-powered grids.

In some areas, where just having data is the priority and urgency, we do 
start out by just marking `landuse=residential` afaik (see Congo/Ebola 
recently). There are however also other datasets available that are 
relatively reliable in identifying inhabited areas (such as WorldPop, 
GPW, HRSL, etc) that can also serve as the basis. So following up and 
continuing with digitizing building outlines where time and (relative) 
lack of urgency allows does provide a much improved starting point for 
additional and more 'advanced' use of these datasets. Even without any 
further data on building use, type, or materials, what improves the use 
for these analyses are having access to a) the size of the building, in 
order to (for example) estimate which are residential, which are too 
small & thus more likely storage/shed/pen etc, and which are large & 
more likely to be commercial, industrial or public buildings, and b) 
shape of the building (for example, round vs square). And to acknowledge 
another point, yes, AI/ML will come into the equation (relatively soon, 
even; way earlier than "ten years") and we will need to think about how 
to deal with this type of 'generated' data, with the OSMF.


Further down the  line, the real value in having a building dataset that 
includes geometry is that it allows you much more accurately attach 
additional attributes/data to these polygons, in the process creating a 
historical record of the existence of this specific building (which is 
also useful for land rights/ownership purposes), and enter into a 
process of refinement and enrichment of that data.I definitely agree 
that trying to get "all" buildings mapped is a herculean task - how many 
would there be in total, 3 billion or so? At which point we get into the 
really difficult task of trying to keep this dataset updated and 
accurate. That doesn't take away from your point that 'low-quality' 
mapping, due to a number of reasons and causes, is a large problem. We 
are/should be working to improve mapper retention, upskilling, and make 
validation more fun/attractive, but this is a topic others can speak to 
better than me. Hope this helps a bit in understanding some of the 
reasoning!


best,
Paul

Yes because, among other reasons:
- For most people, verifying is not as gratifying as creating
- Correcting entirely incorrect geometries is many ways more work than
re-creating them from scratch

I am not concerned about the most egregious cases: cars & trucks modelled
as buildings, duplicates & superposed, rubbish heaps and vague shadows as
building=yes, buildings found in old imagery... Those I delete with no
hesitation.

I am not concerned either about minor simplifications or errors such as

[HOT] Mapping activities to support the refugee response in northern Uganda

[Paul Uithol]

Hi all, I wanted to share some updates on our project in Uganda with you. Many
thanks to our team in Uganda (Stefano, Geoffrey, Douglas, Carmen, Deo,
Kate, Lydia, and everyone else helping out). They're doing amazing work to
support UNHCR, MSF, Catholic Relief Services and other NGO partners
coordinate their data collection and mapping onto OpenStreetMap, connecting
a lot of the dots around the refugee response.

Mapathons on World Refugee Day to generate baseline data:

This weekend, we'll also have State of the Map Africa in Kampala! I'm not
sure about any streaming options (internet and bandwidth being what it is
in Uganda), but we'll definitely update everyone on the proceedings via
Twitter, blogs and other channels!

Hello all,

I work with GIS at MSF-UK.

We are conducting a fairly grand-scale field survey in South

uploading it to OSM. I am therefore creating a field data
upload to OSM workflow for volunteer mappers and which we hope
will be tested by a group of Missing Maps London mapathon

I am still very much thinking the workflow through, but it
will necessarily involve volunteers:

  * Downloading a .csv file with an OSM key header and values
cleaned in OpenRefine;
  * Installing the OpenData plugin and opening the .csv file

  * Installing the ToDo list plugin and adding the .csv file
features to ToDo list;
  * And working through the .csv file features, referencing
against aerial imagery and OSM data and either adding keys
and values to map features or creating new map features.

I think it would be great if this work was channeled through
the HOT Tasking Manager. There would be many advantages.
Tasking Manager:

  * Would help portion up and distribute the work (could the
.csv be made downloadable from the Contribute tab?);
  * Would ultimately allow contributions from around the world;
  * Could host the step-by-step guide I am producing and
project-specific instructions;
  * And would facilitate validation.

I would love to chat with those fluent in the Tasking Manager
to explore the possibilities.

I'm afraid this might be yet another instance of the issue in

itself. Work will be done soon to improve the export tool, but I don't

For now, in your case you might want to try the QuickOSM

Hi Felix,

Great initiative! It's a question I often get, and thus information I

study for MapUganda and Ramani Huria shortly. You probably had a look at 
the Press/Recognition folder on the drive already (there's an article 
from the Canadian Armed Forces on Nepal there, Guardian one on MM)?And 
we could request some of our partners to write up a case study? I know 
some of them have amazing case studies of OSM data interacting with 
their field ops (you may already have set this in motion as well ;)

Dear HOT-community,

It is important to show the *outcomes* HOT has leveraged. This helps 
us for the inspiration of people and organizations about the 
possibilities of Open Data for humanitarian activities and also for 
our fund-raising efforts.


We usually communicate results as news on the website, such as 
statistics of activations (how many mappers participated, how much 
data was collected, what extend was mapped, how many people effected, 
...) and this is good!


But we also want to show *tangible outcomes*, to answer the questions, 
what this data has been used for. Especially our partners, or 
communities that used the collected open data to produce impacts and 
products based on the data. Therefore I've created a showcases section 
on the website: https://hotosm.org/showcases


Unfortunately there aren't a lot of good examples, yet, and I'd like 
to invite everybody who has a story to share to contribute to this 
effort. Once we have good content there I'll link the showcases to be 
visible on the website's general pages.


If you have an account on the website (which you should have as a HOT 
member) you can add a new showcase by visiting this link: 
https://hotosm.org/node/add/showcase
In case you don't have the permissions to do so, or you don't have an 
account but want to contribute with a showcase, please write me in 
private.


Please try to make it short, visual (pictures!) and convincing.

Thank you!

Re: [HOT] Terrapattern: query-by-example for satellite imagery

[Paul Uithol]

That sounds quite interesting - I'm wondering if it could be accurate 
enough to use as a tool for automatically tracing/classifying/tagging 
features based on imagery in some scenarios? I imagine the error rate 
would be quite a lot higher than with proper mapping, but in some 
situations having a fast initial assessment (before focusing on

It’s a visual search for aerial imagery — "a prototype for helping people

mark a desired feature, it finds all other occurrences.

Their case studies mention OSM as a source data set, but they don’t yet appear to be

[HOT] Tagging evacuation centers

[Paul Uithol]

Hi all,

Something that recently came up in Tanzania in discussions with 
municipals officials and the Tanzanian Red Cross Society is mapping of 
proposed evacuation centers.


I've found some text on this on the talk-us list 
(https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-us/2016-February/015874.html), 
where it's noted the `evacuation_center` tag is being used in the 
Philippines, but this appears to be a broader issue. A complicating 
factor is that in Dar (as in other places, as noted in the other thread) 
most of these places have other primary purposed (schools, playgrounds, 
etc).


Has anyone encountered this in other contexts as well, or used another 
tag in a different locations perhaps? Would be good to have a 
documented/standard way of tagging these I'd say, would enable them 
to show up on the HDM style and presets as well?


best,

Paul

[HOT] Article on HOT in OneWorld (Dutch only at the moment)

[Paul Uithol]

Hi all,

Don't think a link to this article has been posted yet - 
https://www.oneworld.nl/werelddoeners/digitale-reddingswerkers. It's a 
very nice introduction and explanation to HOT's work, featuring quite a 
bit of input from Nama Budhathoki, Blake, people from the Red Cross, 
MSF, Canadian Armed Forces, and a tiny bit from myself ;).

Re: [HOT] iD tags changed? Re: Difficulty in communicating with iD users

[Paul Uithol]

Hi,

Could you please clarify - have the underlying tags and values themselves
changed, or just their descriptions/UI? It sounds like the latter to me
from your response. The former would be bad, the latter is something we
could/should adapt to.

And yes, "unclassified" does confuse people, but it's something they'll be
exposed to and should be explained sooner or later anyway? Don't have a
laptop at hand, but is the underlying tag value still visible in iD? I'm
hoping this has been discussed, but wouldn't a description like "Minor
(unclassified)" be an option?

Best,
Paul

Re: [HOT] Fwd: Accuracy ( international women's day)

[Paul Uithol]

Hi Gertrude,

OSMTracker uses GPS - the buttons are normally disabled until you have a
lock. After that, it will give you an estimation of the accuracy of your
location, for example: "Accuracy: 5m". I think they'll probably use the GPS
receiver's hdop (horizontal dilution of precision) figure for this, which
is a standard way of measuring accuracy.

The best accuracy that you can obtain also depends on your environment (do
you have a clear view of the sky? Trees and high buildings or narrow alleys
can cause worse accuracy) and the quality of the GPS receiver and antenna
in the phone. Modern phones should be alright, but you may find some behave
better than others.

Best,
Paul

Re: [HOT] Crowd2Map rural Tanzania

[Paul Uithol]

Hi Janet,

We’re getting people in rural Tanzania to map data about their 
communities using EpicollectPlus.  Please can anyone advise:


1. if there is any way to tell up to date the Bing satellite images 
are and how often they are updated as some of the points we are trying 
to add weren’t built in the satellite images.


See http://mvexel.dev.openstreetmap.org/bing/ - please do be aware the 
dates can differ per zoom level, so do try to zoom in on the areas 
you're after.


2.Are there any recommended apps to use OSM on android

For what use case indeed? For navigation, Maps.me and OSMAnd are great 
choices indeed - for mapping, you could take a look at OSMTracker 
(funcions somewhat like a regular GPS, and results in GPX tracks), or 
OpenMapKit (an add-on to OpenDataCollect; combination of survey 
questions and adding/updating features on top of an actual maps layer; 
results in .osm files). We're using the first in conjunction with 
fieldpapers in Dar es Salaam, and are using OpenMapKit in Uganda.


3.What the best way of publicising the project to people in rural 
Tanzania is – currently we have 
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1551808625147532/ and @crowd2map


That would depend on the area you're looking at. There is a chance some 
of our students that (have) work(ed) on Ramani Huria could be from one 
of these areas. Perhaps Mark has contacts at more universities/colleges 
in these areas?


4.If anyone is aware of any other data sets we could incorporate – 
thanks Mark Iliffe for links to water points and health facilities


It does look like the import of MSD roads data is still in progress if 
you're interested in more roads data - see 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Tanzania/Tanzania_MSD_%26_JSI_road_import, 
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1256


5.We’re having a hack day on May 7^th in London, Dar es Salaam – and 
remotely – so if anyone wants to be involved that would be great!



Where in Dar would that be?

best,
Paul


Many thanks

[HOT] Mapping stories from the field in Uganda

[Paul Uithol]

Good evening from Uganda! After spending three weeks in Mbale and 
mapping 11 districts there, we've now moved on to Tororo, another town 
in the east, close to the Kenyan border.


One of the students we've worked with from UCU Mbale, Hillary Musundi, 
has written an amazing story on his experiences mapping with us. Please 
read the full story at 
https://hotosm.org/updates/2016-02-03_my_mapping_experience_by_hillary_musundi_student_at_uganda_christian_university 
!


"When I was first told about mapping, I thought it was something to do 
sitting indoors on your laptop. Well, it’s also a bit like that, but 
little did I know the adventure that awaited me. I quickly got 
acquainted with the whole mapping process after the training we received 
on the first two days. Earlier I had met Douglas Ssebaggala who had 
showed us how to use OpenMapKit and JOSM. I just couldn’t wait to start 
my journey in the world. After the training, I felt I was ready."

I'm on the SotM Working Group along with fellow HOT Member Ben

Regional events like SotM US and SotM Asia, both still in the

Re: [HOT] African Roads on Satelite

[Paul Uithol]

Hi,

Let me see if I can find a couple of good examples (combination of 
aerial/ground location) from the region where we're currently running a 
ground survey (eastern Uganda). Not seen anything like the motorway - 
the example looks pretty European.


When in doubt, I usually tell our mappers to use `highway=unclassified` 
if it looks wide enough to allow regular traffic to pass (hopefully 
cars, at the very least motorbikes), and isn't a dead end.


best,
Paul

what this Highway Tag Africa wiki page says is that you classify a road related

yes I got this point from the Wiki. Its just, when you are doing HOT
mapping, you normally have just a satellite image. So on the ground
photos of streets are helpful to get an impression of the situation on
the ground, but it might also be much more helpful to see examples of
satellite images.

I know, the classification does not only depend from the road condition
that I will see on the image. But it could help for some situations. The
Link to the Bing Satellite picture was very helpful for example.

Re: [HOT] Question [about the/à propos du] HOT Export

[Paul Uithol]

Hi Augustin,

The export tool does not possess exhaustive query logic; since data 
filtering is based on JOSM preset files, and that's not what these where 
invented to do. The way to go here would indeed be to do the filtering 
of the resulting dataset through a desktop GIS app, like QGIS.

Hi all,

I don't find a solution yet. Help still welcome !

In fact I feel like what I want to do seems just not possible with the
HOT Export : export only some features which have a specific combination
of tags. It's possible to get them but the shapefile will be full of
undesired features, because those features have, at least, one tag of
the specific combination of tags. It's like it's not possible to be
restrictive.

==EXAMPLES==

1) Job :
http://export.hotosm.org/en/exports/3c4c5bee-a60f-4073-aa7a-3a9ed1c89e3e/

   

I get all the desired features but just with the column
health_facility:type, I'd like to have the other tags of these objects
in the shapefile, I try to get an other column in the next example.

2) Job :
http://export.hotosm.org/en/exports/b315b903-8e9a-4757-b0a0-6cd720ceb217/

   
   

I get all the amenities and all the health_facility:type whatever the
value is ... restaurant, fuel, school etc., even if the value of the
other tag is NULL
Although I'd like to have only the features which have the combination
of both tags.

3) Job :
http://export.hotosm.org/en/exports/8324dbb8-7129-4cc9-95a4-3a95dbe60629/






I get the same result as Job2

Thanks in advance,

Augustin

PS : I have what I want using OverpassAPI through QuickOSM in Qgis but
this way is not really good to publish/refresh data. It needs the user
to have Qgis installed and to know how to use it.
