Pengelompokan Kabupaten/Kota di Provinsi Jawa Barat Berdasarkan Dampak Kerusakan Bencana Banjir Menggunakan K-Medoids

Abstract

<p><em>The territory of Indonesia is located in geographical, geological, hydrological, and demographic conditions that allow Indonesia to be prone to disasters. The most common natural disaster in Indonesia is flooding. If accumulated, there have been 682 flood events in the country since the beginning of 2022. In Indonesia, especially West Java Province, flooding is the most common disaster, especially during the rainy season. So a study will be conducted that aims to determine the grouping of districts / cities in West Java Province based on the occurrence of flood disasters. The data used in this study were obtained from the publication of the National Disaster Management Agency. In this study, there are 4 variables of the impact of flood disasters, namely total deaths, total submerged houses, total damaged houses and total injured. The clustering method used in this research is K-Medoids. K-Medoids is one of the clustering methods that uses the partition clustering method in grouping a set of n objects into a number of k clusters. From the results of the K-Medoids analysis, three clusters were obtained. The first cluster consists of 3 districts/cities with high impact of flood disasters, the second cluster consists of 23 districts/cities with moderate impact of flood disasters, and the third cluster consists of 1 district/city with low impact of flood disasters. Based on the results of the analysis, efforts can be made by the government to focus more on designing steps that must be taken in preventing or overcoming the impact of flood disasters.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>Cluster; K-Medoids; Floods West Java</em></p>
