The tag zoo=enclosure
is used to describe a type of zoo (tagged with tourism=zoo
) where the animals are kept in enclosures or cages. zoo=enclosure
alone (without tourism=zoo
) describes an individual enclosure in a zoo.
Enclosures are fenced areas on which otherwise wild animals are kept permanently.
How to map
As a type of zoo
Add zoo=enclosure
to the tourism=zoo
element.
As part of a zoo or as an individual enclosure
Create an area around the fence of an enclosure inside a tourism=zoo
and tag it zoo=enclosure
. Do not use tourism=zoo
, when mapping individual enclosures or zoo parts.
If you are not sure of the border of the enclosure, you can place a single node in the middle of it, but an area is best.
