Fuzzy Geographically Weighted Clustering Analysis for Sectoral Potential Gross Regional Domestic Product in West Sumatera

Abstrak

Gross Regional Domestic Product is the sum of the added value of all goods and services produced or produced in an area that arises as a result of various economic activities in a certain period. Each region certainly has its own advantages and potential, such as in sectors or business fields. GRDP inequality occurs due to differences in geographical conditions and natural resources in each region. The method that can be used to overcome this inequality is cluster analysis. Fuzzy Geographically Weighted Clustering is a clustering method which is an integration of the classical fuzzy clustering method and geo-demographic elements, so that the clusters formed will be sensitive to geographic effects. The results of the research obtained 3 optimum clusters with different characteristics. Cluster 1 has high potential, cluster 2 has low potential and cluster 3 has medium potential in forming GRDP.
