Rural-urban interface mapping and improvement of forest fire prevention and preparedness
La cartographie de l'interface rural-urbain dans l'amélioration de la prévention et de la préparation aux feux de forêt
Résumé
This presentation shows different situations of the use of interfaces mapping which contribute to improve the Rural Urban Interface (RUI) and Wildland Urban-interface (WUI) knowledge for the forest fire prevention and preparedness for inhabitants, stakeholders and firefighters. The works are based on researches developed by IRSTEA team of Aix-en-Provence, with the collaboration of Spanish team (Tragsatec) and Italian teams from Sardinia (UNISS and CNR) during the European FUME program, on-going works in the FIREXTR project in Portugal and also supported by the French Environment minister programme (bureau of natural and hydrologic risks).
