Belarus Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Belarus containing public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks. The dataset is an export by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more detailed than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Create general POI reference maps for Belarus based on tagged amenities and shops.
• Conduct urban analysis of service distribution based on the density of tagged amenities.
• Enrich basemap detail for applications focused on Belarus using the tourism and man_made features.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Covers multiple feature types tagged via `amenity`, `shop`, `tourism`, and `man_made` keys.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale projects.
