Disasters have a major impact on several sectors, such as infrastructure, manufacturing, tourism and transportation. One way to prepare for or improve disaster preparedness is to implement preventive measures. Preventive actions can be taken by identifying disasters in each area from past data. This study aims to map areas affected by disasters to facilitate disaster preparedness programs. The data used in this research are areas of West Java that will be affected by the disaster in 2022 from January to October. The disaster data used in this study are floods, landslides, abrasion, tornadoes, droughts, fires, earthquakes and tsunamis. Research to use data mining techniques, namely grouping techniques. The clustering algorithm used in this study is the K-means cluster. The clustering process was carried out several times to find out the comparison of the quality of the grouping results which in this study used the Within Cluster Sum of Squares (WSS). The best WSS value is when the number of k or the number of clusters is 5, which is 89.8%. This research is expected to be a reference for disaster preparedness. This research also produced disaster grouping maps, where each cluster has different characteristics or types of disaster.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
