Dear everyone, Just to inform you that this activity has started. For details read below:
Overview: World Health Organization (WHO) is conducting a research on the accessibility of health care facilities in Luzon using the tool AcessMod . They intend to use OpenStreetMap road and river network dataset for the above areas as input to their accessibility analysis. * Areas to cover - Regions I, II, III, IV-A, V, CAR and NCR (33 provinces plus NCR) * Mapping priorities - Roads ( trunk, primary, secondary and tertiary), ferry routes and river network * Level of detail - 1:50K to 1:20K or zoom levels 13-15 * Period of mapping - May 2015 Mappers involved: maning, GOwin, schadow1, feyeandal, Rally, jenjereren, G-eMapper, Ayoo, Hayat Tib Ben Hammadi Coordination and monitoring: To monitor and coordinate the mapping activity, we created a Tasking Manager instance based on HOT's Tasking Manager. Current changeest tags we are using are the following: #MCP Luzon River mapping #MCP Luzon Road mapping As a basic principle, we will respect the existing data in OSM, if you have concerns with the edits of the above users in relation to this activity, please let us know. At the end of the mapping activity, we hope to intend stats on the results. Thanks!
