GWRPCA ALGORITHMIC FRAMEWORK: ANALYZING SPATIAL DYNAMICS OF POVERTY IN EAST JAVA PROVINCE

Abstract

This study employs Regression Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) and Geographically Weighted Regression Principal Component Analysis (GWRPCA) algorithms to analyze poverty in East Java Province, using data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). The research investigates regency/city-level poverty percentages and identifies influential factors such as education, literacy rates, housing conditions, and economic indicators. The results reveal that GWRPCA, with an 85.10% R2 value, outperforms RPCA, highlighting its effectiveness in capturing spatial diversity and providing a nuanced portrayal of poverty characteristics across regencies/cities in East Java. In conclusion, GWRPCA emerges as a powerful algorithmic tool for informing targeted poverty alleviation policies, offering insights into spatial variations. The study suggests future research directions to explore evolving spatial patterns and consider additional variables for a more comprehensive analysis. The findings emphasize the significance of spatial considerations in devising effective, context-specific strategies for each regency/city in East Java
