Guatemala Conflict Events with Village-Level Geocoding and Daily Temporal Detail

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence in Guatemala. Events are sufficiently fine-grained to be geo-coded down to the level of individual villages, with 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 village-level geocoding.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of organized violence based on daily event disaggregation.
• Conducting geospatial risk assessment based on the location of lethal events.
• Validating or supplementing other conflict datasets based on the high-resolution UCDP methodology.

Strengths

• Events are geo-coded down to the level of individual villages.
• Temporal durations are disaggregated to single, individual days.
• Dataset is described as UCDP's most disaggregated dataset.

Limitations

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