Este é o nono entre os diários de campo que compõem o caderno de campo da minha pesquisa sobre interações sociotécnicas nos Altos e Córregos da Zona Norte do Recife e sua área contígua em Olinda, cidades localizadas na Região Metropolitana do Recife (RMR). Mais detalhes sobre a pesquisa vocês podem ver na minha tese de doutorado, publicada em https://repositorio.ufpe.br/handle/123456789/48802. Para a tese a delimitação socioespacial foram os Altos e Córregos da Zona Norte do Recife, a parte de Olinda foi agregada depois da tese.

Os diários de campo foram realizados em minhas idas ao território objeto de estudo. Nessas idas sempre registrei o percurso com o aplicativo OSM Tracker. Este é o track da minha ida ao Alto Santa Terezinha, Recife/PE, em 23/04/2024 http://u.osmfr.org/m/1060051/

Dessa vez não fui por demanda do meu projeto de pesquisa nos Altos e Córregos da Zona Norte do Recife e área contígua de Olinda. Mesmo assim, resolvi ligar o aplicativo OSM Tracker para o registro e fazer algumas observações. Pude fazer um percurso longo dentro da minha área de interesse, pois na ida fui por Recife e voltei por Olinda http://u.osmfr.org/m/968423/

This is the first time I try micromapping in OSM. It took quite a while to learn the appropriate tags for some amenities, but I got there in the end. For a first, I decided to focus on an open area I know very well, which is a square in my hometown. I didn’t do much in terms of area coverage, but it is still pretty noticeable. By the way, if you want to check if I’ve done my job correctly, please note that less than one year ago, all hedges and trees that surrounded the square were torn down ; no idea why considering it looked awesome, now it is pretty dull and flat.

Here’s what it looks like, and considering how it is rendered, I can’t resist feeling proud :

It seems that I tend to forget to publish my daily diary entry on time ; I’ll do my best to do so, even for light workloads

Yesterday, I rode my bicycle to check on-site issues that I noticed with addresses in Saint-Valery-en-Caux. I managed to fix them all, and to map a few fire hydrants as well.

I wish to thank the OsmAnd team for their app : this diary entry was possible thanks to them and their app. Features such as audio/video notes and offline OSM notes were very helpful during this bicycle ride.

Na tarde do dia 05/01/2023, fomos ao Alto do Eucalipto, no bairro do Vasco da Gama, Zona Norte do Recife, para observarmos uma mudança em uma das paisagens que registramos para a nossa tese. O local, um passeio, localizado na Rua Camboriú, abrigava uma lixeira construída pelos próprios moradores, a partir de carcaças de duas máquinas de lavar. No momento do registro inicial, dia 09/03/2022, entendemos que aquele era um objeto técnico importante pra ser registrado. No final de 2022, um dos entrevistados morador da localidade, me informou que as lixeiras foram retiradas e em seu lugar o passeio foi requalificado, com estruturas que atendem principalmente o lazer das crianças.

I was putting together some facts and stats* on OpenAerialMap and the open drone imagery it hosts and thought it might be interesting / useful for OSM peeps as a key user group…

In case you don’t know, OpenAerialMap is a platform for making open imagery available to people that need it.

This year the weather has been quite awful in Milan, and Sunday 20th it was raining once again. However, later during the day it was nice and even sunny, so I decided to go for another trip.

This time I planned in advance and went to Villaggio dei giornalisti, an area that was not particularly covered by previous footage. It is an area of architectural interest and particularly nice.

After that, I went back to the Parco Nord, covering more bike paths in the park.

This time I configured the camera correctly to record a time-lapse, getting around 4 GB of videos for a 2h trip, a much more reasonable file size. The battery also lasted longer, more than 2h and could have gone for much longer. I had to end my trip because it was getting dark.

Another thing I learned from the previous time was to use a fitness tracker to track my trip, so now I can see the calories and speed overall, and observe the trip later on Strava. I also could produce a GPX track, but they are already abundant on OSM in this area.

I still have to figure out an effective way to micromap based on these pictures, iD integrates with Mapillary but the interface is a bit cumbersome for large changes, currently I find easier to open another window with the footage only.

Yesterday, I worked on two municipalities : Jumièges and Saint-Valery-en-Caux, the latter being the one in which I live. I used once again the Pifomètre tool to add adresses. However, I don’t think I’ve finished everything in Jumièges, so I’ll have to work on this municipality again today.

Brands

As part of my systematic update of local POIs (see Part 1), I added the “brand” and “brand:wikidata” tags wherever I could identify them. Before I started I thought I might find quite a few POIs that I had not previously recognised as brands.

Spoiler: I was wrong, yet again. It’s good to have your preconceptions challenged by actual data. I guess.

It turned out that the reason I hadn’t heard of most of the brands displayed on POIs in this area, and the reason not many POIs had the brand tag before I started mapping, was that … they aren’t brands. It’s possible there are a few shops belonging to brands so obscure or localised that I couldn’t find any reference to them online, but I don’t think I can have missed many.

Out of 376 POIs, only 36 - less than 10 percent - are now tagged as brands.

Recently I have been trying to systematically improve OSM data about shops, businesses, and other Points of Interest in a small area of my city. Like many OSM contributors before me, I have been torn between the desire to make my local map as complete as possible, and the realisation of just how much time is needed to do that. My observations in the following series of diary posts may not be very original, but perhaps they’ll help me to clarify my thoughts on the subject.

Background

Málaga is divided into about 200 barrios or neighborhoods, all with well-defined boundaries in OSM. I chose to focus on an area of four adjoining barrios slightly to the northeast of the historic centre. The main axis of this area, formed by Calle Victoria and Calle Cristo de la Epidemia, is about 1km long (the green dashes in the map below). These main thoroughfares, and many of the smaller streets, are lined by apartment blocks with commercial premises on the ground floor. The hillier areas to the east are more purely residential. Most shops are quite small, many are sole traders, and there are no shopping malls.

Dear Diary,

Now I know what your thinking, “what kind of boy has a diary”. Its NOT a diary, remember that reader. Its a INTRICATE PROGRESS LOGGING DEVICE that is mine and mine only! Yeah, i guess you could say its a kind of “Dairy of a Wimpy Kid”, heh! Well thats awkward… Nettspend Out!

I finished solving my personal OSMose issues (mainly level 3) and other ones in municipalities around Saint-Valery-en-Caux.

To correctly tag some services, I needed to use Pifomètre for two municipalities.

I also fixed a few issues in OSM Inspector around Saint-Valery-en-Caux and Rouen, although it is pretty difficult to understand what’s wrong sometimes.

Another OSM user rightfully told me that one edit I did on bus lanes in Rouen was wrong in terms of tags, so I managed to correct it.

کافی نت بیست

План был выпускать по одной 3d-модели каждую неделю, пока немного отстаю.

Тем не менее, запилил еще одно здание, и опять наземный вестибюль станции метро. В этот раз это метро Новокузнецкая, еще один шедевр сталинского ампира. Злые языки конечно могут сказать, что это больше пост-конструктивизм, чем ампир. Возможно.

На F4 она показывается непокрашенная, ну да ладно. Полноценные текстурированные модели бродят где-то совсем рядом.

P.S. Заказы на здания по прежнему принимаются.

You may know that the preparations for this year’s OpenStreetMap Kerala Annual Meetup have started. We had a meeting on the 20th to find a suitable venue and date and to brainstorm related matters and form a working group for the same.

It has now been decided to hold the annual gathering of 2024 on November 16-17 at Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Wayanad district.

Venue and Registration - Travel Scholarship - Participatory details will be updated by the responsible volunteers in the coming days.

I decided to fix, once again, all of the issues attributed to me by OSMose. I managed to fix almost all of them for levels 1 and 2. I’ll probably fix the level 3 ones tomorrow.

Today, I also discovered the OSMose map. I already knew about the website itself, but only on its personal list form. Therefore, I decided to fix almost all the issues in my hometown, Saint-Valery-en-Caux. I briefly also fixed issues in Rouen and Barentin.

I won’t add the links of my changesets anymore, as I’m too lazy to do so (lol).

Hello everyone, I have come to the conclusion that the daily mapping challenge I started was probably too ambitious considering my daily life (mainly univ), so I have no choice but to downgrade my ambitions unfortunately. I still will make my best to contribute everyday to OSM and to make daily diary entries, however they won’t be all about mapping a random municipality.
