Plans for the Prevention of Natural Hazards (PPRN) are the key state instrument for risk prevention in France, established by the Act of 2 February 1995. Each plan is identified by a GASPAR code and contains a presentation note, regulatory zoning plan, and regulations. This non-geometric table details the types of risks treated in each PPRN.
Use Cases
- Classifying municipal risk exposure based on the types of hazards addressed in approved PPRNs.
- Analyzing land-use regulation trends by linking risk types to building prohibitions or requirements.
- Mapping the prevalence of specific natural hazards (e.g., floods, landslides) across French departments using the linked GASPAR codes.
Strengths
- Linked to the authoritative GASPAR application for administrative procedures, providing traceability.
- Explicitly connects to geographic data described in separate metadata sheets for spatial context.
Limitations
