Abstract
One of the prevalent nutritional issues affecting toddlers worldwide is stunting. Several studies on stunting cases have been conducted in Indonesia. However, modeling using the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) method in South Sulawesi has not been carried out. This study aims to identify the variables that affect the incidence of stunting in each district in South Sulawesi based on spatial modeling using the GWR method. Data on the number of stunting cases, the pproportion of low-birth-weight infants, the percentage of under-five who are malnourished, the percentage of proper drinking water, and the percentage of poor people in South Sulawesi in 2020 were used. The results show that the GWR model has an value of 86.64%, which is higher than that of the global regression model. The factors that influence the percentage of stunting based on the GWR modeling results are the percentage of under-five who are malnourished and the percentage of proper drinking water. The findings of this study are anticipated to help the government address the issue of stunting in South Sulawesi. Early prevention may then be implemented.
