Risk Prevention Plans (RPPs) are the French State's key instrument for controlling development in areas at risk. This dataset, R111-3 for Saint-Paul-de-Varces, was approved on 28/12/1993 and includes spatial data on exposure scope and regulated zones. The data is provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and was last updated on the platform in May 2021.
Use Cases
- Mapping areas prohibited for construction based on the 'red zones' designation.
- Assessing project requirements in 'blue zones' where development is subject to specific hazard-related conditions.
- Analyzing the spatial scope of exposure to risks as defined by the approved plan.
- Integrating regulatory boundaries into broader regional planning and risk assessment models.
Strengths
- Based on an official, state-approved plan (R111-3) from 1993.
- Spatially organized data covering exposure scope and regulated zones.
Limitations
- The data is described as informative, with only paper documents carrying legal authenticity.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
