Italy Conflict Events with Village-Level Geocoding and Daily Temporal Resolution

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence occurring at a given time and place. Events are geo-coded down to the level of individual villages, with temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is documented in the Journal of Peace Research and a codebook from Uppsala University.

Use Cases

• Predicting conflict risk based on fine-grained geospatial and temporal event data.
• Analyzing patterns of organized violence at the village and daily level.
• Training models for event detection and classification in conflict monitoring systems.
• Conducting causal inference studies on the drivers of localized violence.

Strengths

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

Limitations

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