Myanmar Conflict Events Georeferenced to Village and Day Level

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset on organized violence in Myanmar, covering individual lethal events. Events are geocoded down to the village level and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is sourced from Uppsala University's Department of Peace and Conflict Research and is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and spread based on georeferenced event locations.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on daily-level event data.
• Conducting spatial risk assessments for humanitarian aid based on village-level precision.
• Training predictive models for conflict forecasting based on historical event granularity.

Strengths

• Events are geocoded 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.
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the source collection methodology.
