DDT 48: Risk Prevention Plans for the Department of Lozère

Risk Prevention Plans (PPR) are the French state's primary instrument for controlling development in areas exposed to major environmental risks, established under the Act of 2 February 1995. The dataset contains geographical tables for mapping PPRN documents within the department of Lozère, linking each plan to its administrative procedure and constituent spatial data via a GASPAR code. The data is provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and was last updated on 8 October 2020.

Use Cases

• Mapping regulated land-use zones based on the geographical polygon data.
• Analyzing risk exposure for construction and agricultural practices based on the regulatory zoning plans.
• Linking administrative procedures and spatial data for specific plans using the GASPAR code identifier.

Strengths

• Data is linked to formal administrative procedures via a structured GASPAR code format.
• Includes geographical polygons for mapping the spatial extent of risk prevention plans.
• Based on a legal framework (Act of 2 February 1995) defining the plans' purpose and scope.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2020-10 08 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
