Abstract
Floodplain hazard and territories. Floodplains now represents significant local and socio-economi-cal stakes. On this hydrological area where floods occur, several other territorial reasoning (economical, social, political) are superposed and confront themselves. The paper analyses the territories notion concerned by the flood hazard according to a geographical and a legal approach. It shows how the definition of the area exposed to floods evolved with the regulation prevention tools. It underlines the problem of the distinct space and time scales specific to each territorial analysis and discusses floodplains appropriateness to prevention and local development objectives.
