The dataset maps regulatory zones for the Saulx sector of the River Saulx flood risk prevention plan (PPRi) near Vitry-le-François. It was created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated in April 2019. The mapping distinguishes five types of zones, including 'Building prohibited areas' and 'areas subject to requirements', based on hazard levels and land use.
Use Cases
- Identify building prohibition zones based on hazard levels described in the regulation.
- Assess land-use requirements for construction projects in 'areas subject to requirements'.
- Map areas not subject to hazard ('white areas') where the PPRi does not apply.
- Analyze the spatial distribution of different regulatory zone types (red, pink, magenta, blue) across the Saulx sector.
Strengths
- Regulatory framework is clearly defined by the French Environmental Code (L562-1).
- Zoning logic distinguishes five specific regulatory zone types based on hazard and land use.
- Dataset is produced by a recognized geological and mining research organization (BRGM).
Limitations
- Last updated 2019-04-04 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
