Geographic Information Systems for Crime Prone Areas Clustering

Abstract

Crime is one of the problems that is quite complicated and very disturbing to the community. Crimes can occur at different times and places, making it difficult to track which areas are prone to such actions. K-means algorithm is used to cluster prone areas and Geographic Information System is used to map crime-prone areas. Web-based application is developed with the PHP programming language. The data used is quantitative data in the form of the number of crimes committed and the coordinates of the cases. The attributes of the crime used consist of five parameters: theft, mistreatment, rape, women and child protection cases and fraud. The results of this study are clustering areas into 3 cluster and mapping prone areas that is safe area, safe enough area and prone area. From the overall crime data for 2019 in Purwakarta district, it was found that 68.75% was safe, 18.75% was quite safe and 12.5% was prone area.

Cattle Transport Drivers Clustering using PCA and K-Means Algorithm

“…K-means is the most famous clustering technique and was first introduced by Macqueen [11]. Clustering is a technique for dividing objects into groups [12]. K-means clustering is also one of the most prominent clustering techniques in science and technology.…”

The Utilization of Information System for Crime Rate Modelling in Surabaya Using K-means

“…The same problem related to criminality has been widely studied, among others: 1) Bindosano et al (2022) proposed a search for crime-prone areas in Jayapura City, Papua Province, Indonesia to reduce crime with Crime Through Environment Design (CPTED) and looking for a relationship between the perception of security of existing citizens and CPTED variables; 2) Nurman (2007) proposed a web-based crime profile mapping information system that can display conventional crime information in Bogor City, West Java Province, Indonesia. The information displayed is in the form of text, map, and graphical data (Hapsari & Widodo, 2017); 3) Rahayu et al (2014) proposed a clustering technique to determine the potential for regional crime in Banjarbaru City, South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia based on alignment (Hapsari & Widodo, 2017); 4) Gunawan & Aditya (2019) proposed the use of geovisual analytics of crime using social media data to identify patterns and movements of crime incidents in Jakarta, Indonesia; 5) Setiawan et al (2019) proposed a geographical approach to analyze the relationship between crime and accessibility in Sumur Bandung as the area with the highest crime rate in Bandung City, West Java Province, Indonesia; 6) Nurjoko et al (2020) developed a geographic information system for mapping areas with high crime rates using clustering techniques; 7) Mulyani et al (2020) developed web-based applications that combine the k-means algorithm to group vulnerable areas and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map crime-prone areas. Five parameters are used in the application developed by Mulyani et al (2020), namely: theft, molestation, rape, women and child protection cases, and fraud.…”
