Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team provides a geospatial dataset of port infrastructure in Kazakhstan. The data includes features tagged as ferry terminals or ports, with attributes such as name, address, and operator type. It was last updated on March 3, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map port and ferry terminal locations based on OpenStreetMap tags.
• Analyze port infrastructure distribution based on geographic features.
• Enhance regional transport network models based on amenity and building classifications.
• Validate or update local gazetteers based on multilingual name attributes (name:kk, name:ru).

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML).
• Includes multilingual naming attributes (English, Kazakh, Russian).
• Dataset has a specific, recent last updated date (2026-03-03).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap.
