UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset for the Philippines

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset on organized violence, covering individual lethal events. Events are geo-coded to the village level and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days.

Use Cases

• Conflict pattern analysis based on georeferenced event locations.
• Temporal trend modeling based on daily-level event durations.
• Risk assessment and mapping based on village-level geographic precision.
• Validation of theoretical models in peace research based on disaggregated event data.

Strengths

• Events are geo-coded down to the level of individual villages.
• Temporal durations are disaggregated to single, individual days.
• Dataset is based on the UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset methodology 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.
