I’m pretty sure these ones are buildings under construction.
Due to lack of finances and the high costs for roof materials in Sub-Saharan African countries, it can take a long time until the roofing is done even though the walls are already constructed.
As kartenmalergidi said, those are buildings without roofs.
They are usually tagged with:
building=yes
construction=yes
As Nick (Tallguy) pointed out on the HOT mailing list this can also be tagged with:
building=construction
in just one simple tag.
I am not sure which one is the preferred method.
Edit: I missed a mail on the HOT mailing list, it seems the preferred method is building=construction.
Hi, Does anyone know what the structures are outside Bamako, Mali, Africa, that are shown as a brown circle with a hole? termite mounds? traditional homes? well boring hole? http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=19/12.53499/-8.10645
and how they should be coded? Thanks
I think that the Bing raster layer has changed since you asked that. I see a lot of small trees, or bushes potted around. The quality of the mapping here is more of note, I applied orthogonality to the buildings and tidied up the pathway.
