Linear Risk Origin Entities for the Mazingarbe PPRN

Linear entities representing the real-world origin of risks, such as rivers or unstable geological areas, for the Mazingarbe PPRN (Plan de Prévention des Risques Naturels). The dataset was published by the French Geological Survey (BRGM) and last updated in April 2019. It is used to define risk-exposed areas that underpin the regulatory risk prevention plan.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood risk zones based on the location of rivers mentioned as risk origins.
• Identifying areas for geological hazard assessment based on unstable terrain features.
• Supporting regulatory land-use planning (PPRN) based on defined risk pools.
• Analyzing the spatial relationship between risk origins and exposed infrastructure.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative French Geological Survey (BRGM).
• Explicitly linked to a formal regulatory framework (PPRN).
• Last update date (2019-04-01) is clearly documented.

Limitations

• Row count and file size are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update was in 2019.
