Abstract

This study applies the K-Medoids clustering algorithm to group Indonesian regions based on the percentage of ever-married women aged 15–49 years who gave birth in health facilities. The data used are secondary data obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). The K-Medoids algorithm was chosen due to its robustness against outliers compared to K-Means [1]. The results show that regions can be grouped into clusters representing high and moderate utilization of health facilities for childbirth. This clustering can assist policymakers in identifying regional disparities and improving maternal health services.
