Spatial Analysis of Seven Islands in Indonesia to Determine Stunting Hotspots

Indonesia is a vast country struggling to reduce its stunting prevalence. Hence, identifying priority areas urgent. In determining prioritize, one needs consider geographical issues, particularly correlations among areas. This study aimed discover whether prevalence in occurs randomly or clusters; and, if it clusters, which are the hotspots. ecological used aggregate data from 2018 National Basic Health Research and Poverty Data Information Report Statistics Indonesia. analyzed 514 districts/cities across 34 provinces on seven main islands The method was Euclidean distance define spatial weight. Moran's index test identify autocorrelation, while Moran scatter plot applied Autocorrelation found Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Bali East Nusa Tenggara West Islands, resulting 133 identified as hotspots four major islands. proves that does not occur randomly.
