Re: [Tagging] How to tag sidewalk slides

2019-05-16 Thread Shu Higashi
Hi Ale,

You mean the travelling direction or across derection?
I once used incline:across for across direction:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/436823415
It's a bit thrilling experience even walking there ;)
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=3x_n1JSmCKeH9TUyECgL5A&focus=photo&lat=35.78085285&lng=139.93085187&z=17

I think max incline value of some segment would be enough for such as
wheelchair routing.

Yes, I agree. I sometimes see the list of this kind of unmatch, but
I've never seen meaningful difference of the status between English
and Japanese. They're usually just outdated translations.

To me the benefit of data item is mostly for the quality improvement
of OSM Wiki pages in local language for now.
I use it (the result of query by Sophos) to find untranslated pages or
outdated pages which are often seen as unmatched status pages from
English pages.

[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Game arcade

Hi list,

There are many game arcades (or amusement arcades or video arcades) in Japan,
but tags have not been defined yet.
It's a facility usually in a building for amusement, not for gambling.
How about in other countries?

I propose a tag definition as following:

[Tagging] Count of urinals

2012-05-26 Thread Shu Higashi
Hi,

I was asked by a woman if she can map the count of urinals (or
something other appropriate name in english?) in a toilet.
Because it is very important for women to count their waiting time.
So I'd like to propose a tag to count the urials.

For example:
amenity=toilets
urinals:female=4

May I add this combination to the wiki page?
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Toilets

Though it's dificult for men to map :)

[Tagging] tagging of "sticker"

2013-07-04 Thread Shu Higashi
I'd like to propose a tag "sticker" which is already used 103 times
according to taginfo.
This tag can be used in combination with many kind of POIs which has stickers.
I think this tag would be useful for developing thematic maps in
cooperation with social activities using stickers.
Any suggestions?

Example:

amenity=restaurant
sticker=yes
image:sticker=http://www.heartbarrierfree.com//image/logo.png
website:sticker=http://www.heartbarrierfree.com/
name:sticker=Heart Barrier Free Project

Re: [Tagging] tagging of "sticker"

2013-07-04 Thread Shu Higashi
Hi Philip,
Thanks for your comment.
Sorry for my poor English in advance.

I have a friend who had spinal cord injury by an accident
in Japan several years ago and she is a wheelchair driver now.

She encountered many barriers as a wheelchair rider at restaurants and shops,
so she decided to take some action for herself.
She set up a website named "heart barrier free" and started a project.
http://www.heartbarrierfree.com
(sorry Japanese only)
The core concept of this project "heart barrier free" means barriers
of one's heart. Most poeple do not know how to help a wheelchair
driver, because we don't see so much wheelchair in Japan driving
outside. Many wheelchair riders tend to stay at home.
So, she thought that it is important to tell the owners of
restaurants or shops how to help wheelchair users and other disabled persons.
She designed a "HEART BARRIER FREE" sticker.
She teaches to the owners and employees how to treat wheelchair in a
narrow spcae
or steps.
And instead she sells stickers to the shop owners and the owners put
up the sticker
somewhere customers can see from outside.
And now, the number of shops and restaurants with this sticker is
about one hundred.

Re: [Tagging] tagging of "sticker"

2013-07-05 Thread Shu Higashi
Thanks for many comments.

I found I've forgotten one important explanation. Sorry.

The concept of Heart Barrier Free Project is different from Wheelmap.
(I'm an ambassador of Wheelmap.org in Japan and talked on this with
Raul and Chris - the developer of wheelmap.org - several weeks ago.)
Wheelmap.org's evaluation criterias are phisical ones.
On the other hand, Heart Barrier Free Project's evaluation criteria is
very subjective.
A restaurant may be tagged with wheelchair=no if there are steps at
the entrance.
But, If the owners and employees have a warm heart to welcome disabled persons,
 and have some lecture on disability, they can lift a wheelchair and
can help to go to
 toilets and can put on a sticker in front of their restaurants.
Disabled persons like wheelchair drivers can assess the hospitarity of
the restaurant.
Several week ago, I consulted Raul about "wheelchair=welcoe" tag.
But, he thinks it may confuse users of wheelmao.org.
So, I proposed more generic tag.
