Data

Data import boundaries suburbs and quarters of the city of Bern / Datenimport Stadtteil- und Quartiergrenzen der Stadt Bern

Many times OSM data users asked for the boundaries of the suburbs and quarters within the City of Bern. Thus, the same kind of data as OSM provides of the City of Zürich.

According to the import guidelines a dedicated wiki page documents "Datenimport Stadtteil- und Quartiergrenzen der Stadt Bern" for coordination and documentation purposes. Data provider and owner is the land surveying office of the City of Bern.

/

Verschiedentlich wurde von Anwendern der OSM Daten der Wunsch geäussert, dass die Grenzen der Berner Statdteile - und quartiere (Quartiere sind auch als statistische Bezirke bekannt), wie diejenigen der Stadt Zürich, in OSM zur Verfügung stehen.

Gemäss den Richtlinien Datenimport in OSM ist dafür eine gesonderte Wiki Seite zu führen um das Projekt Datenimport Stadtteil- und Quartiergrenzen der Stadt Bern zu koordinieren und zu dokumentieren. Die Datenhoheit liegt beim Vermessungsamt der Stadt Bern.
