Religious areas are rendered as massive building

[uswoods]

Expected behavior

They may have a color

Actual behavior

But they look like a solid building

Thanks for reporting the issue.

What is your proposed solution? Would you like to try to make rendering tests using some other color values?

[polarbearing]

I disagree. The area just looks strange because nobody had taken care of mapping the features of the area.

After 3 minutes of mapping using Bing, the area looks as below. Could the OP please check the religion?

[jeisenbe]

Thanks polarbearing. I do think that the original poster has a point that the dark landuse color is a little unusual. It’s more similar to quarry or industrial land. I would image that religious landuse should be most similar to social amenities, since places of worship are similar to schools in their function as community landmarks and meeting places. I could do some test renderings if anyone has a good suggestion on a color to try?

landuse=religious does not automatically mean it has a poW on it.

[meased]

I agree that it is probably a little too dark at the moment.

[jeisenbe]

Would it be ok to use the previous farmland color? Or are we saving that for something else?

I think of using it for cultural and entertainment areas, see #2704 (comment).

How about rendering landuse=religious with the same color as social amenities (amenity=school, amenity=university, amenity=hospital...)? In my experience most landuse=religious includes an amenity=place_of_worship, but it can also include offices, school and “Sunday school” buildings and gardens. Monastery and convent areas often include these sorts of features too. So this is similar to what you may find on a private university: classrooms, offices, gardens, pitches, and a chapel or mosque or shrine (especially for private schools and universities). Another option would be to use a slightly different shade of orange-yellow for landuse=religious, eg halfway between social amenities color and proposed cultural areas color(old orange/brown farmland color) I would be happy to make some test renderings if any of those sound interesting

I would start with lighter gray, but of course any test is good as proof of concept.

I already would see these quite different: kindergarten and schools are usually closed objects, you cannot go there if you are not a pupil or a parent who picks up their kid. Universities and hospitals are generally accessible (at least around here).

In my experience most landuse=religious includes an amenity=place_of_worship, but it can also include offices, school and “Sunday school” buildings and gardens.

If it is a religious administrative facility, it should rather be tagged as office, if it is a school, it should be tagged as school. You can add religion and denomination tags to any object where it applies.

Monastery and convent areas often include these sorts of features too.

not from my experience, but might be true for some of these places (e.g. an ermitage hardly ever will have a school integrated ;-) ). It should be tagged separately, IMHO For landuse=religious, I would use a lighter version of the amenity=place_of_worship color.

[jeisenbe]

Here are some test renderings. Currently landuse=religious is rendred with the same color and outline as amenity=place_of_worship for closed ways on land that is not also a building;

@place_of_worship: #cdccc9; @place_of_worship_outline: #111;

z15 current rendering

z16 (most buildings hidden to show landuse better):
(http://openstreetmap.org/#map=17/-4.09339/138.94656 Wamena, Indonesia)

z16 with buildings:

With buildings at z17:

1. Lighter: fill color lighter shade of gray, #d0d0d0, with #aaaaa for the outline:
z16 no buildings

z16

z17

2. But that outline may be too light. Here is #d0d0d0 with the line darkened 30%:

3. Line darkened 40% (fill #d0d0d0):

4. Here is a orangish shade of gray f4e8d4, with the outline darkened 30% and saturated 20%:

I think 2 (#d0d0d0 with the line darkened 30%) is very good and I would use it.

[polarbearing]

Fine with me in general, d0d0d0. Would be interesting to see how good the line separates adjacent landuses of the same kind.

[jeisenbe]

The second one is also my favorite darkness for the outline. I would like to try lighter fill, but I'm not sure if it's possible to make the gray much lighter without becoming too similar to residential.

The fifth option, light orange-brown, looks nice to me too. Does anyone else like it, or a similar color?

The six one looks nice but is too similar to the current social amenities color, especially at zoom 15 and below:

YWAM in Hawaii
(This is a large campus with a religious training center)

(Current rendering) #cdccc9 fill, #111 line

Option 2. #d0d0d0 with the line darkened 30%

z17 Wamena - two adjacent religious landuse areas

z18

Option 5. Light orange-brown: f2ecd9 (outline darkened 30% and saturated 20%:)
My favorite
z15 YWAM Hawaii

z16

z17 Wamena - 2 adjacent religious areas

z18

Option 7. New brown-orange option; similar intensity to residential but different color: #e2ddd0; outline darken 30% / saturate 20%
z15 Hawaii

z16 Hawaii

z16 Wamena

z17 Wamena - two adjacent religious areas

z18 Wamena

v2 looks the best for me. v7 reminds me of landuse=garages.

[jeisenbe]

Good idea to compare with garages.
(BTW, how did that become a separate landuse? Must be a British thing)

Option 7 with garages:
Yes, too similar.

Option 2 next to garages:
z16

z17

Option 5 with garages:
z16

z17

_I still like option 5 best, because option 2 is still quite similar to residential, just darker. _

[kocio-pl]

I see. I find it more natural to just make religious area lighter and use light orange for other areas (like cultural/entertainment) than to use light orange for religious and use light grey for other areas.
