The Dataset Direct Download Service sheet provides access to localised data on regulatory zoning for approved forest fire PPRs in the Vaucluse department of France. The data delineates inconstructible and construction areas based on risk analysis of natural phenomena and vulnerability of impacted issues. The dataset was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated on October 15, 2021.
Use Cases
- Mapping forest fire risk zones for land-use planning based on regulatory zoning.
- Analyzing the vulnerability of human settlements based on the delineation of inconstructible and construction areas.
- Integrating natural hazard data with urban planning documents based on the interaction of hazard, issues, and protection means described.
- Assessing compliance with the Environmental Code's requirements for new constructions in risk areas.
Strengths
- Data is explicitly tied to approved regulatory plans (PPRs) governed by the French Environmental Code.
- The analysis methodology considers three components: the forest fire hazard, the impacted issues, and the means of protection.
- Last update date is precisely documented as 2021-10-15.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
