Landuse=religious is not quite right, since the hussainia is more a cultural event than anything religious.
I think I would prefer a neutral terms for the amenity (yes, its an amenity) like amenity=community_centre (Description A place mostly used for local events, festivities and group activities. ) Nonetheless, an area of landuse=religious could include an amenity=community_centre It is a special kind of community centre, which is covered by the key 'type'. type=husainiya type=hussainia type=ashurkhana type=imambargah * *I am a little concerned that there are different terms for the amenity in different countries. We try to use English terms where possible, but I doubt its possible in this case. So I accept an Arabic term, but which one... Is there one spelling or one term which the entire Islamic world would understand? I need help on this. On the other hand, close enough is acceptable. OSM is liberal on tagging rules but I would modify the proposed keys. I'd rather see the existing keys 'event', 'access' and 'frequency' being re-used here. 'event' key is used for earthquakes mainly, but it seems to work for this purpose. 'access' is used about 10 million times as a key, so its very standard. I'm proposing three new values, but they are useful for some other amenities and places of worship too 'frequency' is used about 1.2 million times, so its standard too. "intermittent" and "weekly" already exist as values. "allyear" is new. So this is what I would support. amenity=community_centre type=husainiya event=muharram access=maleonly | femaleonly | maleandfemale frequency= intermittent | weekly| allyear CA ==================================== On 2015-08-21 07:12 AM, Andreas Goss wrote: >> If so, you can use landuse=religious on the entire area > > God that tag is so ***** stupid.
