Risk Prevention Plans (PPR): Land Use Regulations for Natural Hazards in Gers, France

Risk Prevention Plans (PPR) are regulatory instruments for managing development in areas exposed to major natural hazards. The dataset, published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, maps these plans for the Gers department in France as of April 2019. Each plan is identified by a polygon and linked to an administrative procedure via a GASPAR code.

Use Cases

• Mapping regulated zones for flood or other natural hazards based on the described polygon data.
• Analyzing land-use restrictions for construction and agriculture based on the regulatory framework described.
• Linking spatial plan data with administrative procedures using the described GASPAR code identifier.

Strengths

• Data is linked to formal administrative procedures via standardized GASPAR codes.
• Includes multiple document types such as presentation notes, zoning plans, and regulations as described.

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-04-04 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.
