contents <p>This dataset encompasses detailed records of human-shark interactions incidents in New Caledonia and Reunion Island from 1980 to 2022. It is designed to support a multi-criteria analysis of these incidents, providing insights into the conditions and characteristics surrounding each event.</p> <p><strong>Attributes <br></strong>1. SITE Geographic location of the human-shark interactions (New Caledonia or Reunion Island).<br>2. N: Sequential number of the incident.<br>3. DATE: Date of the human-shark interactions (YYYY-MM-DD format).<br>4. YEAR: Year of the incident.<br>5. MONTH: Month of the incident.<br>6. DAY: Day of the week when the incident occurred.<br>7. HOUR: Time of the incident (24-hour format).<br>8. HOURTYPO: Time range category (e.g., 13-15 for 1 PM to 3 PM).<br>9. SEASON: Season during which the human-shark interactions occurred (Summer, Winter, etc.).<br>10. WEEKEND: Indicates whether the incident occurred on a weekend (Weekend or Week).<br>11. MORNING: Time of day (Morning, Afternoon, etc.).<br>12. ZONE: Specific zone or region within the site classified into five categories: East, West, Loyalty Islands, Noumea or Greater Noumea (Noumea town, Mont-Dore, Paita and Dumbea), Bays of Noumea <br>13.
