Eswatini Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap for Urban Analysis

OpenStreetMap data for Eswatini includes public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks tagged with `amenity`, `shop`, `tourism`, or `man_made` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data, last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more detailed than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Create reference basemaps based on tagged amenities and landmarks.
• Analyze urban service distribution based on `amenity` and `shop` tags.
• Identify tourist infrastructure for planning based on `tourism` and `man_made` features.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Explicitly tagged for four key OSM categories: amenity, shop, tourism, and man_made.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
