Abstract

The Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) model operates by taking into account how the relationships between different factors change across geographic space. Meanwhile, the Mixed Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) model permits certain variables to exhibit spatially varying (local) effects, while other variables are assumed to have constant effects across all locations. Both models are relevant to be applied in crime studies influenced by variations in regional conditions. The objective of this study is to evaluate the GWR and MGWR approaches in selecting the best model to explain factors associated with crime cases in South Sulawesi. The data used include the number of crime cases in South Sulawesi in 2024 along with factors presumed to influence them. The investigation's outcomes suggest the GWR model demonstrates higher appropriateness compared to the MGWR model, evidenced by its reduced Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) score and a 98.44% coefficient of determination . Based on the best-fitting model, population density and the number of poor residents were identified as the main factors influencing criminality in South Sulawesi in 2024.
