Afghanistan Conflict Events Georeferenced to Village and Day Level

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset records individual events of organized violence with precise location and timing. Events are geo-coded to the level of individual villages and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is based on research from Uppsala University and is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and spread based on georeferenced event locations.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on daily-level event data.
• Correlating conflict events with local socio-economic or environmental factors using precise village-level coordinates.
• Training predictive models for conflict risk assessment using historical event granularity.

Strengths

• Events are geo-coded down to the level of individual villages, enabling high-resolution spatial analysis.
• Temporal durations are disaggregated to single, individual days, providing precise timing.
• Dataset is described as UCDP's most disaggregated dataset for organized violence events.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
