[Imports] Galician protected areas

[Miguel Branco]

Hi Mateusz, thanks for the feedback! I answer you question by question.

1) Those areas require a previous conflate, yes. I've done so using JOSM
and JOSM/conflation add-on for most of the areas. I indicate "yes, merged"
in wiki tables to note if they’re conflated and are ready to upload. I have
to edit some areas yet but when necessary I’ll use conflation too.

2) About the data of accuracy/positioning in relation to OSM data. When
working with IET data (shapefiles), I did a double checkout: compare
imports with mapas.xunta.gal/visores/basico/ (government official map
viewer) and the official documents that parliament passed by to declare
natural protected areas (In our case those are published in "Diario Oficial
de Galicia – DOG", that contain their maps). I saw no problem about
protected areas' position: they fall in their provinces, councils, include
or not some villages and so on. In fact, there’s some of them already
mapped in osm that have some pitfalls. This import would correct those
mistakes.

3) With "their limits and area must not be modified or simplified in any
way." I mean that during the import process we will not modify what
official data says. And furthermore, I think that any posterior
modification of a protected area (ie. reduction) should be avoided or at
least being debated why it needs being done. Protected areas means that
some activities are forbidden or limited by law, so I think its precision
is key for osm users. But that's out of the import process, of course.

About the detail too, yes, in some cases source data has too much detail.
But a random reduction of it can mean including or not e.g. a small village
or even a protected tree from a natural park. That’s why I think that we
need to avoid data reduction here.

About source date, that date is the latest release date for that IET’s data
package. We could indicate the present date, tell me what’s better.
Anyway, Galician natural protected areas haven’t been modified since then
(no new one, and no area modifications). So, yes, this data is too much
useful :)

Hope have answered every question, go on telling me.

Miguel
