Ces derniers jours, j’ai tenté de compléter et de mettre à jour les hôtels à Genève.

Point de départ

Il y a environ 150 hôtels dans le canton de Genève, voire plus ou moins selon les critères. En plus des hôtels traditionnels, divers services proposent un ou plusieurs studios/appartements meublés dans le même immeuble. D’autres servent à fournir des logements temporaires sociaux ou destinés à des institutions (CERN, université, etc.). HVS mentionne 97 hôtels avec 8100 chambres pour Q1 2025.

Modèle et tags

En suivant les indications de wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism=hotel, le tag tourism=hotel figure en principe sur l’immeuble. S’il y avait été construit comme hôtel, on trouve également building=hotel même si l’immeuble n’est plus utilisé à cette fin. Si l’hôtel comprend plusieurs immeubles, il y a une relation pour l’hôtel. Le minimum est que l’information se trouve sur un “node”. C’est aussi le cas quand le même immeuble abrit plusieurs hôtels.

Pour un hôtel, j’ai essayé d’ajouter au moins les tags suivants: name, addr:street, addr:housenumber, addr:city, addr:postcode.

stars= est renseigné pour les 4/5 étoiles. rooms= pourrait être intéressant à spécifier d’avantage. “internet_access” me semble désuet et “payment” pas intéressant. Idéalement, on trouverait la marque dans brand=, l’opérateur local ou global dans operator= et le propriétaire dans owner=. Parfois ça se confond ou ça dépend du même. Pour des immeubles conçus avec un architecte connu, il peut y avoir également architect=, construction_date=, etc.

Vérification, références possibles

Au-delà d’une vérification sur place, https://reg.app.ge.ch donne une base plutôt complète, mais son interface est difficile à utiliser. J’y ai remarqué qu’une erreur. Dans OSM, on pourrait reprendre leur référence avec ref:CH-GE:REG=. L’entreprise y mentionnée est l’ operator= , voire le owner= .

Irpavi 2 South Route

The city of La Paz, Bolivia, has the Puma Katari public transportation service, which covers the 9 macro districts and is currently deployed through 10 routes. Since its launch, this service has been a great promise, offering benefits such as preferential treatment for people with disabilities, children and the elderly, in addition to allowing the transport of bicycles in the front compartments of the buses, thus encouraging the use of this means of transportation. ecological. We are often traveling to different places in the city to carry out our field work. We know that some visitors or even people who know about this transportation service face difficulties because they do not know which route to take or where the stops are, especially when trying to reach peripheral areas.

Over the past year, I made a lot of contributions to Regina’s OSM. Since snow has made surveying difficult, I felt a retrospective on those contributions were a good idea. Many edits came through the StreetComplete app, though more intensive projects have called for desktop editing. Creating a separate network for sidewalks and starting to make indoor maps for a couple buildings are the items I’m most excited about. The changes made to the Regina Wiki page on OSM were pretty large but hopefully will give a good overview of where active mapping projects are at. Creating a wiki page for Regina Transit will hopefully help to make updates to it easier to coordinate.

You can read more on my blog post here: https://www.malleyeno.com/Blog/Winter-Retrospective-2025—OpenStreetMap-for-Regina

In the ancient days, OSM was much simpler. You had the streets and roads. A crossing was considered a barrier along the way for road users (i.e. cars), so one would place a node with https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=crossing where the crosswalk is located. The routeplanner would apply a time penalty, the rendering engine shows a little icon, and done.

With an extra attribute (namely crossing_ref) a more precise type and the type of markings was indicated.

Then, someone figured out they could also shove in information about the traffic signals. This kind of works for simple crossings, but breaks down for bigger intersections. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:crossing=unmarked, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:crossing=uncontrolled and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:crossing=controlled were added. And https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:crossing=zebra, cause zebra crossings are so common. And https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:crossing=marked, which was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike ~~tea~~ https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:crossing=uncontrolled.

In the mean time, people started mapping cycleways and sidewalks/footways separately, giving rise to a second way of tagging crossings: along the way; as https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=footway with https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:footway=crossing.

Some ported over the traffic signal metadata over on the way, as they were used to doing on a node. Others starting mapping the traffic lights separately, often as barrier at the precise location where the pedestrian/cyclist/car driver has to wait.

This gives the potential of having the traffic light metadata on three separate locations:

1) Once on the point where the road and the footway meet 2) Once on the footway, marked with crossing 3) Once on the traffic light node on the footway

In other words, the current tagging is a clusterfuck.

Why do I care?

Place: Nor Yungas, Yolosa, Bolivia – Senda Verde Animal Shelter

Senda Verde is a refuge dedicated to the rehabilitation and protection of wildlife in the Amazon rainforest of Bolivia. Unlike a conventional tourist destination, its main mission is to provide care and rehabilitation to rescued animals, many of which have been victims of illegal wildlife trafficking, mistreatment in captivity, or have been affected by the burning of their habitats. Although it welcomes visitors to support its operations, educate, and raise awareness about conservation, Senda Verde primarily focuses on animal welfare and promoting responsible wildlife practices.

Illegal wildlife trafficking consists of the illicit commercialization of wild species that are stolen from their natural habitats. In Bolivia, alarming cases of illegal wildlife trafficking have begun to occupy a prominent place on the media agenda.

Senda Verde Wildlife Sanctuary is a charity dedicated to improving the lives of rescued native Bolivian wildlife by providing medical care, food, and housing. Their mission is to save and protect rescued wild animals from cruelty and suffering, as well as to inspire people to care for wildlife.

En el marco de la estrategia nacional para la eliminación de la Malaria, la precisión en la localización y cuantificación de la población en riesgo es fundamental. Este ejercicio técnico demuestra cómo el uso de datos geográficos abiertos OpenStreetMap y tecnologías de análisis libre Python permite generar diagnósticos territoriales en tiempo récord, optimizando la toma de decisiones en salud pública.

La importancia de los Datos Abiertos en Salud

Para que una intervención de salud (como el rociamiento residual o la distribución de toldillos) sea efectiva, se debe saber dónde está la gente. Los datos libres permiten:

• Reducir costos: El acceso a cartografía detallada sin pagar licencias costosas.

• Transparencia: Procesos auditables donde la comunidad científica y técnica puede validar los cálculos.

• Interoperabilidad: Herramientas que se integran fácilmente con otros sistemas de vigilancia epidemiológica.

El Proyecto: Un Enfoque Minimalista y Potente

Alojado en GitHub: el desarrollo alojado en Streamlitse ha construido bajo una arquitectura minimalista. El objetivo es claro: ofrecer una base sólida que cualquier técnico o investigador pueda consultar, replicar y mejorar para aplicarla a otras enfermedades o necesidades territoriales.

Тестовая

Last night, I added Arbela, MO, and some geometry in the immediate vicinity. It’s the next village west of Granger, MO.

Today, I did a quick walk for a GPS trace, and then I came home and added some more geometry around Arbela. Unfortunately, I managed to get JOSM into a bad state before uploading, and I decided to start this evening’s changes over again. Alas. It’s almost bedtime, but I was able to redo the buildings and the driveways I’d done before. The water will have to wait until tomorrow.

Merry Mapmas!

আজ OpenStreetMap-এ আমার একটি নতুন অবদান যোগ করেছি। নাগা বাজার এলাকায় অবস্থিত “Naga Bazar Shopping and Service Centre” মানচিত্রে যুক্ত করা হয়েছে। এই স্থাপনাটি স্থানীয়ভাবে পরিচিত একটি শপিং ও সেবা কেন্দ্র, যা আগে মানচিত্রে উল্লেখিত ছিল না।

এই তথ্যটি আমি স্থানীয় জ্ঞান ও পর্যবেক্ষণের ভিত্তিতে যোগ করেছি এবং ভবিষ্যতে আশপাশের অন্যান্য গুরুত্বপূর্ণ স্থান ও সড়কের তথ্য যাচাই করে ধাপে ধাপে যুক্ত করার পরিকল্পনা রয়েছে। অভিজ্ঞ ম্যাপারদের যেকোনো পরামর্শ বা সংশোধনকে স্বাগত জানাই।

We haven’t had a London pub meet-up in a while. I probably could’ve organised something, but got waylaid by Dundee, and preparing a talk for Dundee, and recovering from all the excitement of Dundee. But of course we need to squeeze a pub meet-up before Christmas…

The Xmas OSMLondon pub meet-up is TONIGHT!

Dundee? I mean State Of The Map EU in Dundee of course. Great fun was had by me.

Here’s me at the kick off session, not quite managing to do my usual mega-cheerful grin, because I had to get up a bit too early off the sleeper train. More of a normal smile. And I’ve slapped some photos on instagram.

• Day 1 fun
• Day 1 sessions
• Day 2 fun
• Day 2 sessions

Instagram isn’t a proper way to do these things, but they’re not really proper photos. Just my crappy snaps. The official photographer shots will appear somewhere better I hope. Maybe the wikimedia commons category. OK I’ll photobomb that with one of mine :-)

I’m kicking myself for not celebrating Mapmas, since I apparently signed up on December 1st. :) Alas.

Well, I’m retconning it, so Merry Mapmas 2025! I know, the staunch Anglicans in the crowd would (rightfully) say: “But shouldn’t it be Mapvent?” And they would be right! But I’ve already typed the title and these two paragraphs, so on we go!

Remote work

I added Granger, MO last night and this morning. It’s the next village to the west after Luray, MO, which the delightful UnmappedSmallTownUSA bot posted the other day. Someone had already done Luray, but there are several municipalities nearby that are unmapped, and Granger was the first one I saw.

This was my first time adding an entire place, and from imagery, too. Some of the buildings were skewed, so I had to trace roof outlines and then position them correctly to correspond to where they ought to actually be. Granger is also quite wooded, and there were areas where I wasn’t sure if it should count as natural=wood or not. I used my best judgement there.

There might be one or two structures or ponds outside of the official Granger boundary that I’ve missed, so I’m going to check on that tonight or tomorrow. Then, I’ll map Arbela, another village directly west of Granger.

I’ve really enjoyed getting out in the sun and mapping stuff in my own community, but it was nice and zen to hang out with a friend late last night and trace buildings and ponds in Granger.

In-office

I took a couple GPS traces today. Old Towne Orange in particular is missing most of its sidewalks, it seems. Once I convince myself that I’m not going to misplace a bunch of them, I plan to add them in, with appropriate crossings and such. While still doing doorbells. And I should add some more fire hydrants soon… There really aren’t enough hours in the day heh. If only I could get paid to wander around town all day mapping things. That might actually be the dream.

Merry Mapmas!

Bell Island, Newfoundland has now been practically fully mapped. There were some features that I was not able to fully map since it would have required local knowledge, however I’m happy with the extent of what was able to be mapped based off of satellite imagery alone.

With some reflection I think the scope of this project was quite large but still manageable since I didn’t put any strict timelines on myself. In the future I’ll likely choose slightly smaller scale projects where the whole thing can be wrapped up within a couple of months. In the interim I’ll probably map some of the smaller islets around Conception Bay.
