Surrounding violence accounts for the impact of conflicts not being limited only to the specific location where violence takes place. Not only does violence tend to spread geographically (“spillover effects”), but also the consequences of violence do, e.g. in the form of local migration or local economic effects. The indicator measures the average level of violence in close proximity to a grid cell based on the number of fatalities.
