+1, but it wouldn't have connotations about the structure (one plot or
several plots or only part of a plot), only on the type of landuse.



> Normally a village/town/city is marked this way.



-1, villages, towns and cities are marked with place=village/town/city, not
with landuse. The key landuse is for the use of land.


 Also how can you tag a private property which is unused?


it's hard to say what "unused" is intended to mean here, for residential
land with no residents, one might think that it is unused (as residential
land), but could still be used in different ways, e.g. as a meadow or
garden, to store stuff etc. For residential land with no constructions on
it, we typically use either landuse=green_field (land scheduled for
construction but no construction yet started) or brown_field (land with
former use, potentially contaminated, potentially old buildings on it).
Please note that the latter 2 tags don't fit well into the landuse scheme,
as they are also about scheduled constructions and legally possible
constructions, while the landuse key normally indicated the actual current
landuse for the land it is tagged on.

cheers,
Martin
