[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Dehesa

[Diego Cruz]

Hi everybody,

Thank you for your replies!

I'm not so happy about the idea of having three different landuse tags that
in most cases will be rendered incorrectly. Besides, how can you know what
is the main use and what is the secondary one? The thing is that this is a
mixed system, and in Spain and Portugal it covers tens of thousands of
hectares.

I don't know the existence of this type of mixed usage of land in other
parts of the world, but I don't mind dropping the Spanish name in favour of
a universal concept, such as landuse=agrosylvopastoral (which would be the
most accurate so far). However, it is true that it wouldn't be intuitive to
non-native English speakers in other parts of the world where a mixed
system is in use, and consequently they may choose to use a local name
instead. How would agrosylvopastoral sound to native English speakers?

Does anybody know about other areas in the world where there is an
extensive mixed use of territory?

Best regards
Diego
