Abstract

One indicator of undernutrition problems is stunting. In Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting of under 5 years children has increased from 35.6% (2010) to 37.2% (2013) and there are differences among provinces. These disparities are likely to be greater when the level is seen in smaller areas such as inter regencies/cities. The purpose of this study. is to group the regencies/cities based on stunting factors. Prevalence factors of stunting of children under 5 years have different measurement scale (numerical and categorical). Two step cluster method is a method that is designed to handle a large number of objects, especially on the objects that have the problem of continuous and categorical variables. This method also assumes independent variables involved. Based on BIC values, it can be concluded that the optimal number of cluster is 2, with cluster quality is fair. The first clusters consist of 223 counties and cities, while the second comprises 272 ones. In addition, there are two outliers, District Ndunga and District Lanny Jaya located in the Province of Papua. The first cluster has average value greater than the national average in the socioeconomics and child diet, in the other hand, the second cluster has average value greater than the national average in mother enviromental and health care, and the outliers has an average above the national average for all variables except on expenditure per capita, the average member of the household, and calorie consumption. Keywords: clustering, malnutrition, stunting, two step cluster method
