Approved in 2000, this dataset contains the regulatory zoning for the Flood Risk Prevention Plan (PPRI) in the French municipalities of Bormes les Mimosas and Le Lavandou. It was created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières by merging four digitalized MapInfo tables representing hazard zones (R1, R2, B1, B2) derived from 1996 paper-based studies. The data was last updated on the platform in March 2020.
Use Cases
- Assess land development restrictions based on mapped flood hazard zones.
- Model flood risk exposure for properties based on the regulatory zoning categories.
- Support municipal planning decisions by referencing the approved prohibition and prescription measures.
- Analyze historical flood risk mapping evolution by comparing 1996 hazard studies with the 2000 approved plan.
Strengths
- Regulatory zoning is based on hazard studies and approved by a 2000 prefectural decree, providing legal authority.
- The data integrates four distinct hazard zone categories (R1, R2, B1, B2) into a single geospatial layer.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 2020-03-18; freshness should be verified for current applications.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
