| Résumé anglais |
In law the definition of zones liable to flooding takes on various forms depending on how the limits of the flooded area is determined. First, the limits may be observed, and are thus based on the perception of the existing situation. Alternatively, they can be established by historical research or imagined by scientific modelling of the future. Finally, they can be duplicated on the basis of pre-existing limits or invented to resolve a particular legal problem. All these methods lead to the definition of a space with a legal legitimacy, but which often ignores the reality of the river's floodplain. This is because the definition is based on a compromise between the protection of property rights and the social acceptability of the risk. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
