Vézère Natural Risk Prevention Plans — Campaign Commune

Risk Prevention Plans (PPR) are the key state instrument for monitoring development in areas exposed to major natural hazards, established under the French Act of 2 February 1995. Each plan includes a presentation note, regulatory zoning plan, and regulations, and is identified by a polygon covering affected municipalities. The data is managed by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and was last updated in April 2019.

Use Cases

• Mapping regulated zones for construction based on the described regulatory zoning plans.
• Analyzing land-use restrictions for existing or future buildings based on the described prohibitions and requirements.
• Identifying municipalities affected by natural risks based on the polygon identifiers for each plan.
• Cross-referencing administrative procedures using the described GASPAR code format.

Strengths

• Data is linked to official administrative procedures via a standardized GASPAR code format.
• Each plan contains multiple document types including a regulatory zoning plan and legal text.
• Plans are approved at the prefectural level, indicating an official government source.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2019-04-03 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• The data is explicitly described as informative and not legally enforceable against third parties.
