PPRN Documents: Risk Prevention Plans for the Department of Deux-Sèvres, France

Risk Prevention Plans (PPR) are the French state's key instrument for monitoring development in areas exposed to major environmental hazards. The dataset, provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, contains documents for the department of Deux-Sèvres, last updated in April 2019. Each plan includes a presentation note, a regulatory zoning map, and regulations, identified by a unique GASPAR code linking to administrative procedures and spatial data.

• Analyzing land-use restrictions for construction and development based on the plan regulations.
• Linking administrative procedures for risk management using the unique GASPAR codes.
• Studying the geographic scope of risk prevention measures based on the polygon data for affected municipalities.

Strengths

• Plans contain multiple document types, including regulatory maps and legal texts.
• Geographic scope is clearly defined at the departmental level (Deux-Sèvres).
