a courtyard and several buildings that usually all belong to an
extended family. Those land plots have a strong significance and the
frequent sighting of spontaneous attempts by to map them in various
ways is testimony to that.<br>
<br>
I do not yet have an answer to this requirement - it should
obviously be mapped as an area but I have so far failed to select
satisfactory attributes to model it. I believe that landuse=* is not
suitable - in Senegal, as
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:WikiProject_Senegal" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:WikiProject_Senegal</a>
recommends, the whole urban area is landuse=residential, so it is
not available to map smaller subdivisions.</div></blockquote></div><br><br><br clear="all">
</div><div class="gmail_extra">maybe a new place value? Of the existing ones, maybe place=neighbourhood? Although this is a really small nieghbourhood compared to other areas with this tag.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I don't see a problem in the whole area being landuse=residential, still you could split these into several smaller landuse=residential, but I agree that there will be no inherent semantics about the special situation there with just the landuse tag.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Cheers,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Martin<br></div></div>
