PENERAPAN CYLINDRICAL DAN FLEXIBLE SPACE TIME SCAN STATISTIC DALAM MENGIDENTIFIKASI KANTONG KEMISKINAN DI PULAU JAWA TAHUN 2011-2015

Abstract

      The Indonesian government formed the National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction (TNP2K) to eradicate poverty. TNP2K requires identification of priority areas or poverty hotspots so that the program can be targeted. Scan statistic is one of the most widely used methods to identify poverty hotspots. Cylindrical STSS uses cylindrical scanning windows while most geographical areas are not circular. Flexible STSS is able to detect poverty hotspots in a flexible form. This study aims to identify poverty hotspots using Cylindrical and Flexible STSS then compare the results of both and then determine the best STSS method. Cylindrical STSS tends to have wider hotspots than Flexible STSS. There are a number of districts that are not eligible to be included as poverty  Flexible STSS is able to produce better poverty hotspots by not including these districts  Poverty hotspots produced by Flexible STSS have higher LLR values. The more suitable STSS method has optimal K values and high suitability with TNP2K priority areas. Cylindrical STSS has an optimal K value when K = 8 and 9. Flexible STSS has a constant LLR value. Flexible STSS has a higher LLR value than Cylindrical STSS at each K value. Flexible STSS with K = 9 has optimal K and high suitability with TNP2K priority areas so that it is the more suitable STSS method to identify poverty hotspots in Java.
