Abstract

Cluster analysis is a method used to group data with similar characteristics. There are various clustering methods adapted to different types of data. K-Prototypes is a clustering method that can be applied to mixed numerical and categorical data. The data used in this study are mixed numerical and categorical data derived from the Village Potential data in 2021. The aim of this research is to group villages in West Java based on variables from the Indeks Pembangunan Desa (IPD). Clustering using three clusters adapted to village status according to IPD resulted in 931 villages in cluster-1, 1880 villages in cluster-2, and 2104 villages in cluster-3. The characteristics of cluster-1 villages are villages that have adequate health and education facilities and good infrastructure conditions. Cluster-2 has an average numeric variable lower than cluster-1 but higher than cluster-3.
