<![CDATA[Indonesia is a country with a high prevalence of stunting. One of the provinces in Indonesia that has a fairly high number of stunting cases is South Sulawesi Province. Research on stunting cases and their causes has been done. However, these researches have not implemented the Bayesian Spatial Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) model. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the incidence of stunting in South Sulawesi Province by implementing various Bayesian spatial CAR Leroux models with and without covariates included in the model. The results showed that the best model for modeling stunting cases in South Sulawesi Province in 2020 is the Bayesian spatial CAR Leroux model with hyperprior Inverse-Gamma IG (0.5;0.0005) by including the covariates of the percentage of poverty and the percentage of children under five 0-59 months of malnutrition. The percentage of poverty and the percentage of children under five 0-59 months of malnutrition have a positive effect on the incidence of stunting. The higher the percentage of poverty and the percentage of children aged 0-59 months with malnutrition in an area, the higher the risk of stunting in that area. 50% of districts/cities in South Sulawesi Province are in the high-risk category of stunting. Parepare City is the city with the highest Relative Risk (RR) value for stunting, followed by Toraja and Enrekang Regencies. On the other hand, Wajo Regency is the district with the lowest RR, followed by Luwu Timur and Bone Regencies.]]>
