[talk-ph] Tagging of barangays and sitios/puroks

[Jherome Miguel]

I am already seeing retagging of barangays in urban areas (e.g. Metro
Manila) from place=village to place=quarter. Our present guidelines for
tagging local government unit (LGU) says barangays always get tagged as
village regardless if it's in an urban or rural area, but the
recommendation to tag urban barangays to quarter hasn't been documented yet
nor discussed (though I agree with it as they better reflect the situation
in urban areas and the general tagging recommendations).

Our current guidelines on mapping sitios/puroks is to tag them as
place=neighbourhood, even if it's on a rural or isolated area. I tag them
as place=hamlet instead, as they better reflect how they are in reality
(those are usually clusters of homes with populations of ~100-200, though
those are just approximates as they are not covered in censuses) and best
follows general tagging recommendations. I'm also considering having this
scheme for sitios/puroks depending on their location:

* Urban - place=neighbourhood
* Rural - place=hamlet
