RikoCH — mapping enthusiast based in Geneva, Switzerland. Interested in Swiss open geodata, the use of OpenStreetMap data beyond cartographic display, and spatial indexing.

Interests

• Swiss federal and cantonal open geodata (geo.admin.ch, BFS/OFS, swisstopo)
• OpenStreetMap as an analytical input (Overpass API, building footprints, POI density) alongside other open datasets
• H3 hexagonal spatial indexing
• Civic and data-journalism applications of OSM-derived statistics

Projects

I am involved in VivaMap, an independent quality-of-life heatmap of Switzerland that uses OpenStreetMap as one of its data inputs (POI density and building footprints) alongside Swiss federal open datasets. Edits I make to OSM-ecosystem pages may relate to this project; I aim to follow the Wiki guidelines, including attribution and non-promotional tone.
