UCDP Georeferenced Event Data on Organized Violence in Georgia

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence occurring at a specific time and place. Events are geo-coded to the village level and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is published by the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO license.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict dynamics based on georeferenced event locations and dates.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on daily-level event data.
• Mapping the geographic distribution of organized violence at a village-level resolution.
• Conducting statistical analysis on the frequency and intensity of conflict events.

Strengths

• Data is disaggregated to the level of individual villages for precise geocoding.
• Temporal duration is disaggregated to single, individual days.
• 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.
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the source collection.
