Bhutan Conflict Events: Georeferenced and Day-Level Violence Data

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence occurring at a specific time and place. Events are geo-coded down to the level of individual villages with temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is documented in the Journal of Peace Research and a codebook from Uppsala University.

Use Cases

• Conflict pattern analysis based on geo-coded event locations.
• Temporal trend modeling based on day-level event disaggregation.
• Spatial risk mapping based on village-level geographic precision.
• Event correlation studies based on individual organized violence records.

Strengths

• Events are geo-coded down to the level of individual villages.
• Temporal durations are disaggregated to single, individual days.
• Dataset is documented by peer-reviewed research from Uppsala University.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the source platform's coverage.
