Tracing settlement features of Banguingui in southwestern Philippines. These houses are on stilts, so it would be interesting to use tags that denote that the area is both residential and above water. Also, I noticed that one could use the tag “bridge=boardwalk” for the main paths that connect the houses. Maybe, it’s possible to elevate such features in the hierarchy of thoroughfares in OSM?

Location: Sigumbal, Banguingui, Sulu, Bangsamoro, Philippines

Perhaps the houses can be tagged with https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building:min_level and …level?

Oh thank you so much for this advice! It’s very helpful, and I will try to do it. :)
