Spain Conflict Events: Georeferenced Daily Violence Data

Spain is the geographic scope for this dataset of individual organized violence events. The data is the most disaggregated from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP), with events geo-coded to village-level and temporal durations to single days. It is published under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO license and was last updated on the HDX platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and spread based on georeferenced event locations.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on daily-level event dates.
• Mapping conflict hotspots at a fine-grained village-level resolution.
• Studying organized violence phenomena 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 described as UCDP's most disaggregated dataset.

Limitations

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