Venezuela Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap for Urban Analysis

OpenStreetMap exports provide points of interest for Venezuela, including public-facing amenities, shops, tourist attractions, and landmarks. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this dataset, last updated on 2026-05-15. Data completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Create general POI reference maps based on amenity, shop, and tourism tags.
• Conduct urban analysis based on the distribution of public-facing amenities.
• Enhance basemap detail for Venezuela using landmark and man_made features.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Includes points tagged with four specific OSM keys: amenity, shop, tourism, and man_made.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
