Building Footprints in Thailand from OpenStreetMap

Thailand building features extracted from OpenStreetMap where the 'building' tag is not null. The dataset likely contains attributes such as name, building type, levels, materials, and address components. It is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-05.

Use Cases

• Map urban density based on building locations and types mentioned in the description.
• Analyze building material distribution for risk assessment based on the 'building:materials' attribute.
• Geocode addresses for Thailand using the 'addr:full', 'addr:street', and 'addr:city' fields.

Strengths

• Includes multilingual name attributes ('name:en' and 'name:th') for localization.
• Provides multiple geospatial file formats (KML, GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE) for compatibility.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is 2026-05-05.
