Quarterly Project 2021Q4

Cj MaloneCj Malone Thu 12 Aug 2021 8:47PMPublicSeen by 84

Anyone have any thoughts on topics for the next quarter? It'll be October/November/December so probably best to have a topic that we can do remote, with the colder weather. There are some good topics mentioned in the past [1] [2], that we may want to do this time. We could also revisit old projects if there is interest in doing that.

Fair enough, we'll just collect the data ourselves, and we can always use FHRS Open Data for address data and to help with identifying closed/new pubs.

FHRS Open Data currently lists 53,958 pub, bar or nightclub. OSM has 39,183 pubs, 5,509 bars and 1,060 nightclubs (=45,752). So we are surprisingly close with 8,206 less, but we can close that gap.

You could ask for data from the owner of some of the big brands. M&B own quite a few brands that I'm sure you'll recognise: https://www.mbplc.com/ourbrands/

I've already collected (copyrighted) data from some of them and got it into Chain Reaction. If this becomes the QP, I'll put the rest at the top of my TODO list and request a copyright waver.

Retail in particular has had a rough time over the last 18 months, and mappers have been avoiding many such areas. It is important that we see what is there as we probably have a very outdated map in that category

Just think 'recycling' is more public good

Focus on the environment but also aware lots of places of worship aren't mapped

By the time this poll closes, my rather detailed tutorial on mapping Places of Worship will be live on Mapper Diaries.

I'm equally happy "surveying" pubs. 😆

retail has high turnover and is good to revisit regularly.

Significant changes in pubs and retail since COVID

Open Data file found by eteb3 helps with former which is also an area of POIs still with lacunae. Retail & Pubs have been done to death as projects & dont work at all for areas which are well mapped, whereas locating minor churches, mosques etc is still worth doing

There was a brief burst of interest around recycling centres back in March so we should look to continue this.

I think we need some on the ground mapping this quarter, Places of Worship will hopefully clear up a few nameless objects (Robert Whittaker's site says there are 3926 nameless). Pubs and Retail might still be a bit changeable, but FHRS might help there. Waste and Recycling needs a better explanation of the task.

Have been building uk.wastemap.org with others and has sparked my interest in all things waste processing

There has been high rates of churn in retail recently. Can we have clarity of marking empty shops - node with shop=vacant??

Ranked based on what needs most work manually - lots of retail churn over the pandemic so lots of resurveying needed.

My hunch is pubs stand the best chance of engagement from people who aren't regular mappers: lots of folk are concerned at their local eatery closing up, and would be pleased to get it on the map as soft advertising if it's still going.

Retail needs lots of ground survey, and there's a lot of churn to deal with.

Places of worship would be better done when/if the GRO dataset becomes usable.

Have been working on building https://openwastemap.uk and it would be great to see some more data updated on OSM to update the map

A lot of change to retail during COVID era. Now may be time things are stabilising.

For future votes it would be useful to know what resources are available to support different project options.
Places of worship like the more obvious churches and mosques etc are often useful navigational landmarks.
Waste and recycling are unlikely to be particularly subject to any immediate changes while pubs and retail are in a mild state of turmoil following pandemic (on top of longer term changes of shopping and drinking habits)
