Gated community

The tag residential = gated seems to be widely used as of 2023 https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/residential%3Dgated

These little enclaves are scattered all over Thailand and are known as mubans. I tag them with landuse=residential, adding ways and access tags, gates, etc., and then gated_community=yes

There are only about 100 uses of the gated_community tag but it seems to perfectly describe what I see on the ground.

I would map and tag appropriately individual different fence types and walls around the area, then select them all and create a relation with those having an outer role and tag the relation as landuse=residential. On the service road leading in to the gated area I would add the gate on the fence line where it crosses the road and add an access tag like access=private or destination or whatever is more suitable. Sometimes gated facilties might be social facilities or jails instead of residential landuse areas I suppose.

For those parts that have a wall or fence topped with barbed wire and you wish to map both, i think you would need to draw a second way over the wall or fence reusing the same nodes and add barbed wire tags to it. You would not add this overlapping way/s to the relation as the relation is only there to define the boundary polygon.

You can always add the gate itself along with an appropriate access tag, and all the roads inside the complex with access tags as well.
