[HOT] Tracing the clan boundaries in Liberia

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all: I was doing some testing on manually tracing the clan boundaries of Liberia from the UNMIL places data. That data includes, for the huge majority of the 14,020 nodes, the clan each place belongs to, and also the district and county. There are

Re: [HOT] Tracing the clan boundaries in Liberia

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I am not sure this is worth doing, at least not manually. GIS software can draw enclosing polygons around the common clan entries and then these could be used to the same effect, with a lot less manual work. However in any case, I think we need to as

[HOT] [Tag] #767 - Mali, Bamako

Hi HOT Please have a look at this patchwork of small residential clusters and mix of cultivated gardens, lawns, orchards... This is currently mapped as surrounding landuse=farmland with inclusion of landuse=residential. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/12.612159/-7.978204 How would you handl

[HOT] [Tag] landuse=residential in rural and urban areas

My previous message leads me to a more generic question. In http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/767 and maybe some other project, the instructions reads: "Settlements: Trace polygon around clusters of houses. Tag with landuse=residential" I feel these instructions are related to rural areas. They can

Re: [HOT] [Tag] #767 - Mali, Bamako

Hi athio, Oh I don't know. I don't think what I see classifies as "small gardens" especially when grouped into contiguous parcels. Considering how basically well mapped it is, I would just fix up the tags and in at least one example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/12.612812/-7.978442 make

Re: [HOT] Tracing the clan boundaries in Liberia

Clan names from the import had problems with truncation, as far as I recall, so they would have to be verified. On Sat, 22 Nov 2014 15:01 Andrew Buck wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > I am not sure this is worth doing, at least not manually. GIS > software can draw en

Re: [HOT] [Tag] #767 - Mali, Bamako

Hi The objective is not to make micro-mapping of each parcel and more to trace residential areas in rural areas. There were some discussions on this, but I dont think that there is consensus on this. In urban areas, we shoud simply have a large polygon around the urban area and not cut at each

Re: [HOT] [Tag] landuse=residential in rural and urban areas

My own practice for large urban areas (last experience was a Canadian city rather than a HOT task) is to carve them up into multiple landuse=residential areas, bounding them on roads or other landuse types. As much as possible, though, I avoid actually making the boundaries/roads touch each oth
