French Environmental Authority Project Decisions with Geolocation, 2014 Onward

Geolocated records of reasoned decisions by the French Environmental Authority (Ae) for projects submitted on a case-by-case basis. The dataset is provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and was last updated in June 2021. It includes project files published on the DREAL website since 2014, with locations linked to municipalities or the union of municipalities for supra-communal projects.

Use Cases

• Mapping the spatial distribution of environmental permit applications based on the geolocation data.
• Analyzing trends in project submissions and authority decisions over time, based on the 2014 onward coverage.
• Studying the administrative handling of sub-communal versus supra-communal projects based on the described linkage rules.

Strengths

• Includes geolocation for all project files, enabling spatial analysis.
• Covers a multi-year period starting from 2014.
• Data is sourced from an official government website (DREAL).

Limitations

• Last updated 2021-06-25 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
