OpenStreetMap is a digital map that displays various objects on earth. OpenStreetMap is Free and Opensource, hence OpenStreetMap enables its user to give any tag/information for the mapped objects. Therefore, to avoid wrong tagging and to avoid dissimilarity tag/information for the objects, OpenStreetMap has provided general references that can be used by users on the page Map Features in giving information for the mapped objects.
But, along with the increase of OpenStreetMap users around the world, the amount and the type of information submitted to OpenStreetMap has also increased. The page of Map Feature, which contains information for the objects in OpenStreetMap, does not seem to help users especially for specific objects which only exist in particular country including Indonesia. Frequently, users do not get information for the intended tag on Map Feature page or simply miss the objects because the name is different. Usually, the objects have their own local name such as posyandu, pesantren et cetera.
For those reasons, this page is intentionally made to provide attribute references for particular OpenStreetMap objects in Indonesia. On this page, the objects divided into several categories match with Indonesian Objects presets. Hopefully this page can help users and the OpenStreetMap community in Indonesia in mapping their region. Keep in mind, the object list on this page is not fully completed yet. Information showed below could change at any moment according to terms and conditions from OpenStreetMap.
For additional information, you can use Badan Informasi Geospasial (BIG) data (National Geospatial Information Agency for Indonesia) to complete name=* tags. For this, BIG has provide a valid and standardized name for some public facilities, government offices and many more in their SINAR Gazeter platform. BIG encourages OSM Community to adapt the standardized toponym into OSM.
The list below contains the type of objects that can be drawn either as a point or a polygon, which includes buildings and points of interest. The object that can only be drawn as polygon is denoted by the symbol and the object that can only be drawn as point is denoted by the symbol . The object that can be drawn either as polygon or point is denoted by both and . It is better to draw the object as a polygon if the building footprint of the object is clearly seen on the satellite imagery, but if it is not, draw the object as a point.
Places and settlements
Hierarchically, administrative levels in Indonesia are divided into several parts, here are further explanations:
admin_level=4 - Province (Provinsi)
admin_level=5 - City / Regency (Kotamadya/Kabupaten)
admin_level=6 - District (Kecamatan)
admin_level=7 - Village (Kelurahan/Desa/Kampung)
admin_level=8 - Community Group (Rukun Warga/Dusun)
admin_level=9 - Neighborhood Unit (Rukun Tetangga)
Places
This is used mainly to give details about administrative divisions and settlements. See the page titled Places for an introduction on its usage.
Negara: A nation-state or other high-level national political/administrative area. Also see boundary=administrative, admin_level=2 for mapping national borders
Province: A large sub-national political/administrative area, mapped as a node. Also see boundary=administrative, admin_level=4 for mapping provincial borders
City (kotamadya): The largest urban settlements in the territory and the primary subdivisions of provinces. These are usually defined by charter or governmental designation in Indonesia. Cities have a population of >100,000 people, larger than nearby towns. See place=suburb and place=neighbourhood on how to tag divisions within a city or regency. The outskirts of urban settlements may or may not match the administratively declared boundary of the city.
Kecamatan/Distrik: A district - a type of administrative division, used when the borders are not known well enough to map as an administrative area. See boundary=administrative, admin_level=6 for mapping the borders.
Town (kota): A second tier urban settlement of local importance, smaller than a city and larger than a village, often with a population of 10,000 people and good range of local facilities including schools, medical facilities etc and traditionally a market. Towns are usually the administrative center of regencies (kabupaten) or its respective kecamatan or districts. In areas of low population, towns may have significantly lower populations. See place=neighbourhood and possibly also place=suburb on how to tag divisions within a town.
Village (desa): A smaller distinct settlement, smaller than a town with just a few facilities available, such as a school and mosque, temple or church and a few shops. These are primarily the subdivisions of rural kecamatan or districts. Populations of villages vary widely in different provinces but will nearly always be less than 10,000 people, but over 100 people. See place=neighbourhood on how to tag divisions within a larger village.
Hamlets (dusun): A smaller rural community typically with fewer than 100-200 inhabitants, little to no services or facilities, often too small for a mosque or church

Toilets (WC / Toilet Umum)

The use of access and barriers are usually called portals, will affect road access. If a portal is permanently closed, it will make road access around it being closed. If we want to enter a residential complex area and there is a portal guarded by security officers or security guards, then this will result in road access being private. Below we have provided a flowchart if we want to edit the OSM map, especially if we are adding access or barrier on the road. This flowchart will help beginners or experienced editors to add access tags or barriers to highway in OSM.

Small way in residential area, around 1.5 - 2 m in width and passable to cars at low speed. In several western countries, this is a special class of road that always has signs and markings which show that pedestrians have the right-of-way, but in Indonesia is has sometimes been used for any narrow road, with names prefixed with Gang (lane or alley), though controversy exists in that usage of the tag, not only in Indonesia but also in several countries in the Global South where such narrow roads are common.
Roads connecting hamlets (dusun) or neighborhoods or between a hamlet and isolated farms or houses in rural areas, or any local non-residential street in urban areas.

Additional attributes
If you draw an object as a line object, you should add some additional information regarding the list of information below:
The value 0 is the initial value for line/road layer. It means that the line/road object is right on the ground level. If the value is greater than 0, that means the object is above ground level. If the value is smaller than 0, that means the object is below ground level.
Layer information for line/road object. If the road is right above the ground level road, user can give additional tag layer=1 for the mapped road. If the road is right below the ground level road, user can give additional tag layer=-1 for the mapped road. For further information, see this link.
User Defined: the value is defined by user based on the information of the mapped object.
Lane information for road object. A road can have two or more lanes. Usually each lane separated by a dashed white line. For example, the mapped road is a three-lane road, user can give additional tag lanes=3 for that road. For further information, see this link.
User Defined: the value is defined by user based on the information of the mapped object.
Width information for line/road object. This additional tag can be given to a road object or to another line object. For example, the width of the mapped road is 10 meters, user can give additional tag width=10 for that road. For further information, see this link.

intermediate (the road condition is quite good, some small potholes here and there; usually found on main road)
bad (the road condition is bad; numerous potholes here and there, endangering the road user)
very bad (the road condition is very bad, jagged and harsh; the road surface is a mixture of soil and gravel)
horrible (the road condition is horrible, impassable by typical city car, passable by semi off-road car; the road surface is a mixture of sand and rubble stone)
very horrible (the road condition is very horrible, impassable by small vehicles and passable by heavy vehicles (tractor), ATV and off-road vehicles; the road surface is a mixture of mud, gravel, sand and rubble stone)
impassable (the road is impassable by any vehicles)
Road condition describes the smoothness of the road and the type of vehicles that can pass the road without any damage. For example, the mapped road is in a quite good condition with some small potholes that usually found on main road, user can give additional tag smoothness=intermediate for that road.
