UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset: France Conflict Events with Village-Level Detail

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence, geo-coded down to the level of individual villages and with temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is published by the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University and was last updated on March 3, 2026. It is based on research published in the Journal of Peace Research.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of organized violence based on village-level geo-coding.
• Model temporal dynamics of conflict based on events disaggregated to single days.
• Conduct sub-national risk assessments based on georeferenced event locations.
• Validate or supplement conflict early warning systems based on high-resolution event data.

Strengths

• Events are geo-coded down to the level of individual villages, providing high spatial resolution.
• Temporal durations are disaggregated to single, individual days, providing high temporal resolution.
• Dataset is based on established academic research from Uppsala University and the Journal of Peace Research.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is specific to France; findings may not be generalizable.
