<![CDATA[The Family Planning Program is an effort to control the rate of population growth by regulating desired pregnancies. In its realization, the family planning program faces challenges in the form of unmet need (couples of childbearing age who do not use contraception). East Java Province in 2023 was recorded as the province with the third highest number of unmet need cases in Java. One method that can be used to analyze the phenomenon of unmet need is clustering analysis. Clustering analysis will help identify areas in East Java based on the priority level of the family planning program. Fuzzy Gustafson-Kessel (FGK) is one of the clustering methods developed as a refinement of the Fuzzy C-Means method. This study implements the Fuzzy Gustafson-Kessel (FGK) method with and without Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to cluster regions in East Java based on unmet need and determinant factors such as the availability of family planning facilities and resources. The results showed that the best model was obtained when using FGK with PCA, with the highest FSI value of 0.668 and XB of 0.235 at configuration c = 4 and m = 3.5. The clusters formed consist of 5 medium priority areas, 12 low priority areas, 9 high priority areas, and 12 developing priority areas. The results of this clustering can be used as a basis for policy makers in designing more effective intervention strategies to address unmet need in East Java.]]>
