UCDP Georeferenced Event Data for Israel, Disaggregated to Village and Day

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 and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days, as described in the Journal of Peace Research. The dataset is provided by HDX under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO license and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and patterns based on georeferenced event locations.
• Analyzing temporal trends in organized violence based on daily-level event data.
• Training geospatial machine learning models to predict conflict risk based on village-level coordinates.
• Conducting causal inference studies on conflict drivers using fine-grained spatiotemporal data.

Strengths

• Events are geo-coded down to the level of individual villages, enabling high-resolution spatial analysis.
• Temporal durations are disaggregated to single, individual days, providing fine-grained time-series data.
• Dataset is based on the UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset methodology, with peer-reviewed publications cited.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the source collection methodology.
