Hong Kong Anti-ELAB Protest Events from Crowdsourced Map, 2019-2020

A geotemporal dataset describes protest-related events in Hong Kong during the 2019-2020 Anti-ELAB protests. The data originates from HKMapLive, a crowdsourced map used by protesters to report events and coordinate movements. It covers two periods: from November 14, 2019 to February 23, 2020, and from June 10 to July 21, 2020.

Use Cases

• Analyze protest event frequency and intensity based on the described geotemporal coverage.
• Model crowd movement patterns based on the crowdsourced coordination data.
• Study the temporal evolution of a social movement based on the two distinct data collection periods.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly geotemporal, combining spatial and temporal dimensions.
• Covers two distinct time periods totaling over five months of events.
• Sourced from HKMapLive, a platform described as popular and used for real-time coordination.

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, temporal, and source bias inherent to the crowdsourced collection method.
