European YoutHumanitarian OpenStreetMap - euYoutH OSM

What are the aims of euYoutH_OSM?

Five schools from five European countries (Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Romania and Germany) have set themselves the task of introducing as many pupils as possible to OpenStreetMap at their schools and to get them interested in mapping. The students will be introduced carefully and concentrated to differentiated mapping. We will use existing material as far as possible (such as LearnOSM) and, if necessary, create additional training material. (maybe screenscast)

It is not our goal to produce "nodes en masse", but to train responsible mappers who can also help with humanitarian mapping. Not quantity, but quality matters.

OpenStreetMap is more than a map. It is a free database around which an ecosystem has formed for maps of all kinds - including for humanitarian purposes. It is not possible to explain OSM in 10 steps. On this website we tried to put together a small collection of links for beginners.

Joint mapping as "pre-disaster mapping" of the island of Terceira


	After visiting Civil Protection in Angra do Heroísmo, everyone became aware of the importance of mapping houses and streets in preparation for a possible earthquake in Terceira.
	For this reason, we decided to map the island of Terceira in the best possible way.
	In order to keep the whole task manageable, we divided the island into small squares in the Tasking Manager
- Here you go directly to our tasks: Direct access to the our tasks
	If the task is still too big ... Split it!
	Contribute - Task too big? Split - Are you sure to split this task? - YES! ;-)
	Best satellite images by Maxar Premium Imagery (Beta).
	We shared the work between our partners.
The Tasking Manager allows mapping together and/or on different places without the mappers hindering each other.
	The task for each team is to map buildings and highways.
	The Portuguese team also has the task of determining the street name on site and entering it in OpenStreetMap.
By using Field Papers and some mobile apps (like GoMap!; StreetComplete; KeyPadMapper; OSMTracker; ...) we map the street names and housing numbers in Angra do Heroísmo.

Participation Erasmusdays 2020

The text below is a translation of the documentation of our Portuguese partners

We participate in Erasmusdays 2020

Between October 15 and 17, 2020 students and teachers of EuYoutH_OSM - European Youth Humanitarian OpenStreetMap, participated in the event #ErasmusDyas2020.

The #Erasmusdays is a European initiative to promote the Erasmus+ Programme worldwide and to give visibility to the activities organised by the beneficiaries of this programme.

The Jerónimo Emiliano de Andrade Secondary School participated in the event #ErasmusDays2020 with the realization of activities in the scope of the projects currently being developed at the school. The students of the PROFIJ (Youth Training and Integration Programme) Hotel Technician course participated in an online pre disaster mapping activity of Terceira island, together with their colleagues and teachers from Germany, Spain and Romania. After an initial briefing, in which instructions on the mapping tasks to be performed were given and the Remote Mapping Guide created for this event was analysed, the students and teachers once again contributed to bonding countries and helping in the mapping task in open data systems, done by all and for all.

Interesting issues and tags

Interesting issues

Issue	Solution	PDF
	* highway=path or waterway=stream? There is a misinterpretation of the map features: the selected ways are not unclassified highways but intermittent streams. You can understand the difference between highways and waterways as streams have a more complex and natural flow direction, while highways tend to be more linear and simple. Also, around waterways there could be some more vegetation, or shady areas given by the water which digs the ground. In this example, waterways do not connect to the unclassified road at the bottom of the picture, as they are flowing to the NE.	- Mapping in Desert Areas download file to print - Mapping in Desert Areas download file to print
	Direction of a waterway (see the selected way in red) The direction of flow of water bodies is always from the source to the mouth. Reverse a wrong flow direction: Simply click the way and press the "r" key - r like revert. . More about streams Streams must be connected to each other as streets are connected to streets. ;-)
	How the waterway and the highway interact ford = yes It lacks a tag to clarify how the waterway and the highway interact. ford=yes in this example, as the roads are passable when there is no or low water.
	The highway should not be connected to the place The highway should not be connected to the place but continue down to the South. The residential area needs to be updated as it is does not include all the buildings.
	The residential area is not closed The place is at the intersection of two road whereas it should not be connected to any other feature, but to be a standalone node at the middle of the residential area polygon. As a general rule, landuse and network like features (highways, waterways) should not be connected.
	The path is connected to the river while it seems there is no path there REPEAT: landuse and network like features (highways, waterways) should not be connected.

The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Erasmus+ Students announced in a tweet, that they had held a week-long course called teaching the teachers. The programme had broad scope with topics including mapping, Overpass, OSM Wiki, communication channels and others, plus Wikimedia-related education. This program has highlighted OSM’s possibilities for humanitarian response and economic development support and pioneering leaders (who are volunteers) on this front. weeklyOSM #433
The Volksfreund from Trier reports (automatic translation) about the start of an EU funded Erasmus+ project where teachers from five countries met in Saarburg, Germany, for an extensive OSM training. In particular, the article highlights a live link to Severin Menard, who reports on his experiences in Africa. The whole project will run for two years with the aim of inspiring many pupils in the participating European countries to take part in “humanitarian mapping”. weeklyOSM #434
