Organised Editing/Activities/BUKEA - Hamburg BUKEA-Hamburg Hamburg, Germany Ongoing 2024 N/A Yes None so far As a public authority, we are committed to managing and maintaining Hamburg's nature reserves. For years, however, there have been problems with walkers and cyclists who repeatedly walk or cycle off the marked paths. We see the use of navigation or outdoor apps that use Openstreetmap data as the reason for this. This results in the planning routes that use paths that should not be used at all. Our aim is to mark these routes in such a way that apps that use this data can no longer use these routes. We want to enable everyone to have a great experience in the nature reserves but also always implement the existing rules.
Humanitarian Mapping by HOT Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team Global Ongoing 2010 N/A Continually
  • Many unreviewed edits, often very low quality, focusing on statistics, volume of edits and fundraising over improving map. Not all edits made as part of their organised editing was ever reviewed by anyone from HOT, and many reviews ignored very clear issues.
  • Lack of public documentation for reviewers on how to detect and restore data added previously by local mappers but deleted by the activity, even amenities such as healthcare (confirmed by asking HOT Global Validators 1 2)
