UCDP Georeferenced Event Data for Mauritania, Disaggregated to Village and Day Level

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence in Mauritania. Events are geo-coded to the level of individual villages and have 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 event patterns based on geo-coded location data.
• Analyzing temporal trends in organized violence based on daily event disaggregation.
• Conducting sub-national conflict risk assessments based on village-level event data.

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 event dataset.
• Based on peer-reviewed research published in the Journal of Peace Research.

Limitations

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