Generally, yes I agree for not mapping individual paddies.  But, there
should be some exemptions,
in the case of Ifugao rice terraces, in the Atlas of Ifugao [0], it
was mentioned that the Ifugaos
have a sophisticated property right system dating pre-colonial times
where each rice paddy has
distinct ownership status.  Thus, each rice paddy maybe a separate
"parcel" if we borrow the term to
the current legal ownership system in the Philippines.

Are there people here more knowledgeable with Ifugao culture confirm
if this ownership system still exist?

Should we be creating a wikpage for this?

Re: [talk-ph] tracing individual rice paddies

2014-10-12 Thread Eugene Alvin Villar
Maning's recent message about mapping the Batad rice terraces brings us
back to this discussion.

I don't quite agree that mapping individual rice paddies as landuse=farm is
the way to go. I think the whole rice farm should be mapped as a single
object and then the walls/terraces should be mapped as a different object.

I think man_made=bund is a pretty good suggestion. If we all agree on this
tag, then we should use it and then suggest it to the global community on
the tagging mailing list.

A bund is also defined as an embankment to control the flow of water. And
for reference, the English equivalent for the Tagalog term "pilapil" is
dyke or dike [0] or bund [1].

I am withdrawing my suggestion for the dyke tag, and second Maning's tag
man_made=bund as technically more appropriate in the context of Asian rice
fields and paddies. If this motion is carried, let's not forget to document
this somewhere [2][3].

Re: [talk-ph] tracing individual rice paddies

2014-08-13 Thread maning sambale
Yes, truly awesome work by the Lubao MPDC staff especially Pepe.  Just
a bit of update from what I heard from Pepe and others.
They were able to use the map in the preparation for Glenda.  Right
now, they are asking each barangay captain to identify key features in
the map like (amenities, shops, name of rivers, sitios, etc) which
they now add in the map.

Tasking manager job is still not finished [0], and they appreciate
everybody's review especially with validating the task.  They are also
having difficulty tagging some features (same as this original
thread), I asked them to list them and send to this mailinglist so we
can help them identify or create (if necessary) the best tag.

Sorry for the digression, so what's the best tag now for paths along
rice paddies? Should it be man_made=bund [1]? :)

Re: [talk-ph] tracing individual rice paddies

It's probably not being used as such but rice are flood crops and the wiki
page for dyke states it as "an embankment built to *restrict the flow of
water or other liquids*" , which in this applies to restricting the water
within the paddies.

Is there a more appropriate tag?

I think neither tag is appropriate. man_made=dyke doesn't seem to be
appropriate since a dyke's purpose is to prevent flooding, and these rice
paddy embankments do not do that.

[talk-ph] tracing individual rice paddies

2014-08-10 Thread Erwin Olario
First of all, kudos to the volunteers working in the Lubao area[0] in
Pampanga for the level of details they are adding to OpenStreetMap.

I do wonder, however, if the appropriate tags are being used. In this case,
 paddy field levees are being tagged as highway=path, when in fact they are
primarily used as embankments, not as paths.

Many of us here in the mailing list would consider Lubao as a local
showcase for OpenStreetMap and perhaps, like me, would like it to show what
"Philippine Mapping Convention" is like in real life.

I normally use the following tags for rice paddies:
landuse=farmland
crop=rice
farm=flooded_crops

What are your thoughts about tagging ways between paddies as man_made=dyke
[1] over highway=path ?
