PPRN Regulated Areas for Forest Fires and Coastal Hazards on the Arvert Peninsula

Regulatory zoning data for the Arvert peninsula in Les Mathes, Charente-Maritime, France, defining areas exposed to natural hazards. The dataset, created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, categorizes zones based on the French Environmental Code (Article L562-1) into 'red' (building prohibited), 'blue' (prescribed), and other risk-mitigation areas. It was last updated on September 17, 2021.

Use Cases

• Modeling flood and erosion risk exposure based on defined hazard zones.
• Analyzing land-use development constraints based on 'red' and 'blue' regulatory categories.
• Planning coastal resilience strategies based on areas where construction could aggravate risks.

Strengths

• Defines zones based on enforceable regulations from the French Environmental Code.
• Covers multiple natural hazards (forest fires, marine erosion, submersion) for a specific coastal peninsula.
• Last update timestamp (2021-09-17) is explicitly provided.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2021-09-17; freshness should be verified for current applications.
