What exact area are you referring to? If it's about lawns within residential areas, you can nest landuse objects (i.e. a landuse=grass within a landuse=residential). If it's about houses surrounded by large meadows, you can us multipolygons to except the houses from the meadows. In any case, every single spot in that region has at least one use, so you'll be able to assign a proper landuse=* tag. > To me, it seems that mapping this area as a combination of > landuse=residential and landcover=grass would be most fitting. landcover=grass does not fit, because the lawns do not only consist of grass, but also of dicotyledons, insects, mosses, algae, fungi, etc. The landuse may be grass, but the landcover isn't just grass. Not to mention the buildings, roads, footpaths, parked cars etc. > I have > thought about using the landuse=residential + natural=grass combination > instead, but those lawns do not strike me as natural. Therefore it's landuse=grass. -- Friedrich K.
