South Korea Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap

Points of interest from OpenStreetMap, exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. The data includes public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks tagged via `amenity`, `shop`, `tourism`, or `man_made` keys. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Create general POI reference maps based on the included amenity, shop, and tourism tags.
• Conduct urban analysis of service distribution based on the described public-facing amenities.
• Enrich basemap detail for South Korea using the exported landmark and attraction data.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
