Validation of Livelihood Vulnerability Index for Disaster Prediction in Indigenous Nepalese Communities

Validation of Livelihood Vulnerability Index for Disaster Prediction in Indigenous Nepalese Communities Dataset Description This dataset accompanies the short communication paper "Validating the Livelihood Vulnerability Index: Predicting Disaster Impacts in Indigenous Nepalese Communities" published in Progress in Disaster Science. The dataset contains:- Household survey data from 180 households across three indigenous communities in Nepal (Chepang, Tharu, Musahar)- Climate data (temperature and precipitation) from 6 temperature stations and 9 precipitation stations (1985-2015)- Calculated Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) scores at household level- Validation metrics including ROC analysis results (AUC=0.81)- Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition results
