Thanks for the comments. I agree that we can't be sure that these are
just animal shelters and so best to tag them as residential until
someone can check locally.
I'm tagging the tracks that link the groups of buildings with nearby
settlements and anything that looks wide enough for a wheeled
Hi Martin,
Good job spotting these settlements and tracks.
It is a good idea to tag the forests as they are part of the instructions.
It is also asked that you map rivers and streams if you can find them.
And I am fairly sure that all these patches of woodland are in fact

Just to clarify on the buildings, they should be building=yes, not

Regarding the tracks, I think the animal interpretation is correct.
Areas like this often have herds of smallish animals like

But specifically to althio's question about what makes someone think
they are animal tracks: Animal tracks would not have been my first
thought either, but once suggested I think some of the paths and
tracks in the area

shelters.
But I wonder if there are also people living here.
If just animal shelters I'm inclined to tag as landuse=farmyard,
I agree, it is not easy to be sure.
But that looks like residential to me, I think there are too many
structures with too much variation in size to just be animal shelters.
There is also what looks like an actual road between the two settlements.
I also think the residential area for HOT
Hi
It is interesting that you call them animal tracks. What are the hints to
take them as such? My first thoughts would have been: those are regular
tracks and paths used by walking humans, maybe animals and sometimes
vehicles.
In HOT context with remote mapping we are able to identify some
