UCDP GED: Bangladesh Conflict Events Geocoded to Village and Day

The UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset provides disaggregated data on individual events of organized violence in Bangladesh. Events are geocoded to the level of individual villages and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is based on research from Uppsala University and was last updated on 2026-03 03.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and spread based on georeferenced event locations.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on daily-level event data.
• Mapping conflict hotspots and risk areas based on village-level geocoding.
• Studying the relationship between organized violence and other socio-political factors.

Strengths

• Events are geocoded down to the level of individual villages.
• Temporal durations are disaggregated to single, individual days.
• Dataset is UCDP's most disaggregated dataset for organized violence.

Limitations

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