My First Contribution to OpenStreetMap

Hello everyone,

Hari ini saya belajar berkontribusi pada OpenStreetMap dengan menambahkan objek bangunan rumah beserta atributnya di wilayah tempat tinggal saya. Saya berharap kontribusi ini dapat membantu meningkatkan kualitas dan kelengkapan data OpenStreetMap. Terima kasih.

Hi ryanrizquik

welcome to OSM and the forum. Every contribution is welcome and adding missing buildings surely improves the completeness of OSM data. When going on with such work, please note that an area mapped as “building” should follow the outline of the building as close as possible. A building in OSM is only the building and not the whole plot including parking space, garden and the like.

The aerial imagery in your place is quite poor but one can see that some of the outlines you drew are much bigger than the buildings visible. Also the outlines of mapped buildings should only share a line if they are directly connected to each other in reality. If there is a gap between 2 buildings on the ground, the mapped outlines should also not be connected to each other. And moreover the outline of a building should never be connected to a road or path.

For more details I recommend to have a look into the wiki page for buildings:

Buildings - OpenStreetMap Wiki

Cheers, Mikke

And Mapbox Satellite imagery seems to be better (and more recent). Always check different imageries, some can be more recent, some may have a better resolution: it doesn’t make sense to draw precisely buildings that have been demolished since then.

Hello & welcome! :waving_hand:

When you have drawn buildings, or anything else either square or rectangular, while on it, please hit your Q key, which will straighten the outline & help prevent out-of-true buildings.

Last not least: The name tag is for real names only, not for descriptions.

Rumah Tinggal = residential house ist not a name and
Jalan Pejalan Kaki = sidewalk is not a name as well

both are merely descriptions. These names should therefore be removed.

Worth mentioning where different imageries can be selected: it’s the “layers” button on the right.

Welcome to OSM! :waving_hand:
