[OSM-talk] Zaatari refugee camp, Jordan / UNHCR / REACH

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

   I see that there's a lot of detail mapped at this refugee camp

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=32.29460120201111&mlon=36.3242769241333#map=14/32.2946/36.3243

but when inspecting things more closely, most information seems to come
from imports that are more than a year old.

How stable are camps like this - is it prudent to assume that either

(a) if there was a greengrocer two years ago in a place, it will likely
still be there?

or

(b) the people who have imported data two years ago as part of their
job/project/assignment will still be around and change things as necessary?

or

(c) people living in the camp have the necessary training and resources
to take map updates into their own hands?

I'd love to get in touch with people who mapped this camp, or others in
the more recent past, for a couple of general refugee camp mapping
questions.

Bye
Frederik
