Hierarchical Clustering Approach for Region Analysis of Contraceptive Users

Through increasing the use of contraceptives to limit births, the Family Planning (KB) Program is one of the government's efforts to control the rate of population growth. Klaten Districts is one of the regencies in Central Java Province with a relatively high number of births and relatively low coverage of active family planning. This study aimed to determine the grouping of sub-districts and these characteristics in the Klaten Districts in 2020. The method used in this study was a hierarchical cluster analysis method, with the best method being the centroid method. In this study obtained 3 clusters with cluster 1 consisting of 23 sub-districts, cluster 2 consists of 2 sub-districts and cluster 3 with 1 sub-district. The cluster characteristics based on the highest number of users of contraceptive methods are cluster 1-contraceptives injection, cluster 2- contraception implant, and IUDs in cluster
