UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset: Individual Conflict Events in the UAE

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset records individual events of organized violence with lethal outcomes. Events are geo-coded to the level of individual villages and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is published by the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University and was last updated on 2026-04 03.

Use Cases

• Spatial analysis of conflict patterns based on village-level geo-coding
• Temporal analysis of violence escalation based on daily event disaggregation
• Modeling risk factors for organized violence based on event-level data
• Validating conflict theories using empirically recorded lethal events

Strengths

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

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 bias inherent to the United Arab Emirates focus
