West Africa Coastal Vulnerability Mapping: Point and Gridded Locations of Fatalities, 2008-2013

The West Africa Coastal Vulnerability Mapping: Point and Gridded Locations of Fatalities, 2008-2013 data set consists of two layers: points representing the location of conflict events with fatalities within 200 kilometers from the coast during the time period from 2008 to 2013, and a raster layer created from the points using a kernel density interpolation of the number of fatalities. These layers were created from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Dataset (ACLED), which codes the dates and locations of all reported political violence events in over 50 developing countries. Political violence includes events that occur within civil wars and periods of instability. Armed conflict reduces human security and increases the sensitivity of populations to climate stressors.

西非沿海脆弱性映射数据集（The West Africa Coastal Vulnerability Mapping: Point and Gridded Locations of Fatalities, 2008-2013）包含两个层次：一为点状图层，代表2008年至2013年期间，距离海岸线200公里范围内的冲突事件致死位置；另一为栅格图层，通过点密度核函数插值法，对致死人数进行计算并从点状图层生成。该数据集源于武装冲突定位与事件数据集（Armed Conflict Location and Event Dataset, ACLED），该数据集对超过50个发展中国家所报告的所有政治暴力事件的日期与位置进行编码。政治暴力包括发生在内战和不稳定时期的各种事件。武装冲突降低了人类安全，并加剧了人口对气候压力源的敏感性。
