Nomin Enkhtamir
Nomin Enkhtamir is a PhD candidate in urban geography at the University of Pécs, holding a BSc in civil and structural engineering and an MA in landscape architecture from MATE Budapest. Nomin spent around four years working in reinforced concrete structural engineering, alongside landscape and public space projects such as a participatory playground design and a thesis on public park design in Ulaanbaatar. This mix of engineering, landscape design, and mapping shapes Nomin’s interest in how cities and their indoor spaces can be represented in spatial data.

With this study we aim to quantify the amount of mappable indoor space in European cities. On this base we can assess the completeness of indoor data in OSM. We operate under the premise that only publicly accessible spaces are relevant for inclusion in the OSM database. Thus, we first identify candidate buildings based on building tag values and spatially related amenities. We then employ values derived from Neufert design guidelines to estimate the portion that is actually publicly accessible. The method is tested with four European cities, Pecs, Dresden, Budapest and Berlin, and verified at random with selected buildings.
