<![CDATA[Poverty remains a significant challenge in many developing nations, including Indonesia. Poverty is also considered a problem caused by uneven economic growth. An effective approach to reducing poverty is through the equitable distribution of zakat, which can help narrow the disparity between the wealthy and those in need. Equitable distribution of zakat can be done by determining the level and potential of poverty in each province in Indonesia. To find out the poverty potential in each province in Indonesia, it is necessary to conduct a cluster analysis by looking at several poverty and economic growth variables. Cluster analysis is an analytical method employed to classify similar objects or individuals based on multiple criteria.
