<![CDATA[Indonesia experiences a high frequency of disasters; however, differences in characteristics between national and global datasets create challenges for consistent disaster analysis. Previous studies generally rely on a single data source, limiting the ability to capture disparities in data representation comprehensively. This study aims to analyze disparities in disaster data representation and identify regional disaster patterns using a data mining approach. A Disaster Severity Index was constructed using Min-Max normalization, and the K-Means algorithm was applied to cluster regions based on disaster index and event frequency. The optimal number of clusters was determined using the Elbow Method and validated using the Silhouette Score, while a global dataset was used for comparison. The results indicate that the optimal model is achieved at K=4 with a Silhouette Score of 0.610883, indicating good cluster separation. Most regions exhibit moderate disaster characteristics, while a small number show extreme patterns with disproportionate relationships between frequency and severity. Differences between national and global datasets suggest variations in reporting mechanisms and data coverage. These findings demonstrate that relying on a single data source may lead to biased interpretations, highlighting the importance of multi-source data integration to improve the accuracy of disaster analysis.]]>
