Hello all,
We have modified the
proposed features/Refugee Site Location 2 according to discussions regarding how to best tag places sheltering refugee and/or internally displace persons. Thank you to the contributors who help finding a solution to have a consistent tagging in place for refugee location.
We are now suggesting to use the tag amenity=refugee_site
We are now suggesting to use the tag amenity=refugee_site
The tag can be used alternatively on nodes or on areas:
- If the extent of the site is difficult to identify (proximity to other villages, suburban area, etc.) it is recommended to use a node.
- If the extent of the site can be clearly identified from the imagery or field data collection, it is recommended to use an area. Please note this extent does not have to match the official boundary of a camp (which doesn’t necessarily coincide to its physical limitations), as defined by government and specialized agencies, for which a dedicated tag can be used.
Both approaches can be completed by mapping the landuse=residential of the area and if appropriate a tag place (place=neighbourhood, place=suburb, place=village) can be added in the area of the refugee site.
