Points of Interest in Yemen from OpenStreetMap for Urban Analysis

OpenStreetMap data for Yemen containing points of interest tagged via `amenity`, `shop`, `tourism`, or `man_made`. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-24. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas likely being well-represented.

Use Cases

• Create detailed basemaps based on tagged landmarks and amenities.
• Analyze urban service distribution based on `amenity` and `shop` tags.
• Identify tourist attractions for regional planning based on `tourism` tags.
• Assess infrastructure coverage for humanitarian response based on `man_made` features.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple common POI categories (`amenity`, `shop`, `tourism`, `man_made`).
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, GEOJSON, KML, JSON).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Coverage is uneven, with remote areas likely being sparse due to volunteer mapper activity.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
