<![CDATA[This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the K-Means algorithm in grouping social assistance recipients in DKI Jakarta based on various demographic and economic factors, such as income, number of family members, and living conditions. The main objective of this study is to optimize resource allocation in social assistance programs by identifying different recipient clusters, so that aid distribution becomes more targeted. In this study, the K-Means algorithm was used with an optimal number of clusters of 3, and produced an accuracy rate of 85%, indicating that this algorithm is effective in grouping large-scale and complex data. However, there are challenges related to the sensitivity of K-Means to outliers and data imbalances that affect the results of the analysis. The results also show that areas such as Central Jakarta and South Jakarta receive more social assistance compared to other areas such as North Jakarta and East Jakarta, reflecting differences in needs in various regions. These findings emphasize the importance of selecting the right variables, such as access to health facilities and economic conditions, in producing more accurate groupings. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into efforts to optimize the distribution of social assistance in DKI Jakarta and recommends further research to address the limitations that exist in the use of the K-Means algorithm, especially in the context of data that is imbalanced or has large variations.]]>
