I’m slightly confused by this discussion. I live in a “hamlet” which is within a “dispersed settlement”. “Dispersed settlement” describes the pattern of isolated dwellings, farmyards, hamlets, villages etc. on a much larger scale.
We don’t really seem to have tags that currently describe settlement patterns. If we did then we would need “linear” & “nuclear” as well as “dispersed”. The “hamlet” has a name (which is used in the address) but the “dispersed settlement” doesn’t as it is just describes a pattern of buildings, hamlets, farmyards etc. Regards Dudley ________________________________ From: Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com> Sent: 16 June 2017 13:56 To: Jerry Clough - OSM; Tag discussion, strategy and related tools Subject: Re: [Tagging] dispersed settlements / scattered settlements 2017-06-16 15:50 GMT+02:00 Jerry Clough - OSM <sk53_...@yahoo.co.uk<mailto:sk53_...@yahoo.co.uk>>: In summary: we have an excellent source of mapped dispersed settlements in Europe; absence of any specific tags for such places has only slightly impeded mapping (although perhaps a rigorous insistence on locality having no population may make it harder); yes, basically what you are telling us is that you've mapped these settlements as place=locality, which is not in line with the wiki definition of place=locality.
