Community Mapping For A Resilient Bamako

The Community Mapping for a Resilient Bamako project focuses on specific challenges facing Bamako city, Mali, such as rapid urban growth, increased prevalence and risk of flooding and associated challenges with solid waste disposal and collection, access to clean water and sanitation, and access to key services such as public transport, health and education. Focus areas for this project will be determined by a combination of interviews with stakeholders, Focus Group Discussions, and in coordination with the World Bank Task team.

In this project HOT builds on proven approaches for community-based flood mapping and monitoring developed under the World Bank Ramani Huria (Tanzania) program, Open Cities Africa programs, as well as the GFDRR/DfID Challenge Fund global open exposure data project. HOT, the OpenStreetMap Mali community (OSM Mali) and the Croix-Rouge Malienne (CRM) have teamed up for all phases of the project and will build upon relationships with multiple government agencies and civil society stakeholders in Bamako.

Data collected as part of Community Mapping for a Resilient Bamako project conforms to a model. The Data Model specifies what types of attributes are collected, what answers are possible, and the style in which they are displayed on the OpenStreetMap website's rendering and the Community Mapping for a Resilient Bamako's own atlases (essentially QGIS styles). The model consists of three basic layers:

1. Items that appear in the OpenStreetMap standard rendering, and therefore conform to an essentially universal schema - they should look, by and large, identical in the street map in any country. Examples include the usual classifications of roads and buildings; the usual elements of the street map.
2. Items that conform to OpenStreetMap standard tagging, but don't necessarily render on the standard map style. These should nevertheless be invariant across multiple countries and contexts. Examples include drainage, which does not appear in detail as part of the usual street map style, but is nevertheless universal and should be tagged consistently regardless of the local context.
3. Items that are specific to the local context, which do not (fully) appear in the OpenStreetMap standard rendering and are not particularly universal, but which are useful to support the specific goals of the local project and community. Examples include local health-care infrastructure which is organized in a context-specific fashion by the national Ministry of Health, or administrative divisions that don't easily fit into an Adm1, Adm2, Adm3 schema.

OpenStreetMap core features

Streets

During the field mapping activities, our team will not map roads as these have already been mapped in a previous project and the data has been published here and here. Our team will provide latest photos that represent these roads in Bamako.

Key	Value	Comment	OSM style	Street Map Atlas style	Drainage Atlas style	Flood Extent Atlas style	Photo
highway	trunk	Major arteries, always paved and double-lane with median.

The dimensions here are measured using tapes and staffs. Surveyors collect most dimensions in cm, which are then converted into decimal meters prior to placement in OSM in order to maintain consistent units.

waterway	drain	Drains are ubiquitous in Dar es Salaam, and are not well-mapped.

Underground drain

Note: it may not be obvious that an underground drain can be mapped! However, often a culvert or a short segment of drain that passes through an obstacle can be mapped by looking at the start and endpoints. In the event that the trajectory of an underground drain cannot be reliably assessed, only the start and endpoints will be taken as point features (see next table).

Drainage point feature

There are a number of features along drains in Bamako that occur at a specific point rather than along the whole line segment. These include features such as silt traps, small-diameter entry pipes from nearby buildings, bridges, pump sites, culvert entries, or areas in need of repair. These are nodes, rather than lines, and may or may not be rendered in the street map or atlas styles.

waterway	drain:silt_trap	Vertically-walled pools, somewhat deeper than the drains themselves, where water slows down and silt settles in a single spot where it is easily removed.
	drain:culvert_entrance	Point where a drain goes underground - to be used where the culvert cannot be mapped as a line segment (as when the culvert is too long to reliably know where it goes underground). If the culvert can be reliably mapped as a line segment, that should be done instead of using this tag.
	drain:outflow	Point where a drain empties into a water body such as a stream, river, lake, or ocean.
	drain:ends	A place where a drain appears to stop without any outflow (on the downhill side)
	drain:begins	A place where a drain or ditch begins (on the uphill side)
	drain:pipe_inflow	Drains frequently have small-gauge pipes entering them from nearby buildings.
	drain:building_drain	A place where a building's drainage outflow (a drain, not a pipe) enters the drain
	drain:bridge	A small pedestrian bridge where people can cross the drain. This tag specifically refers to a bridge that is not part of an existing road or track (if the bridge is part of an existing road or footway trace, it does not need to be rendered as a point feature). May be concrete, as in the case of those installed by the drain installers, or a wooden structure placed by local residents or businesses.
	drain:crossing	Any crossing that hasn't been identified in some other way (i.e. not a culvert or ditch).
	drain:needs_repair	A damaged or blocked drain that needs to be repaired.
