<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<br>
<br>
I need to extract from OSM the green spaces that represent natural places and
parks in order to obtain their area. How can I do it?<br>
I extracted the .osm files with parks or natural stuff, but what I got is only
a point for each green space.<br>
<br>
I applied these two urls:<br>
<a
href="http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/node%5Bnatural=*%5D%5Bbbox=-71.1608,42.3677,-71.1078,42.4006%5D"
target="_blank">http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/node[natural=*][bbox=-71.1608,42.3677,-71.1078,42.4006]</a><br>
<a
href="http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/node%5Bleisure=park%5D%5Bbbox=-71.1608,42.3677,-71.1078,42.4006%5D"
target="_blank">http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/node[leisure=park][bbox=-71.1608,42.3677,-71.1078,42.4006]</a><br>
<br>
I just need the green spaces, perhaps is best to use another source, any
advice?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
