Abstract

The main problem in regional development lies in the resources and potential they have in order to create an increase in the number and type of employment opportunities for regional communities. West Java is a potential province, the center of the development of science, technology and education. Through this potential, the achievement of development in West Java is still sub-optimal; this is shown by the West Java Human Development Index (HDI) which is still below the national average. Symptoms of low levels of education and health indicate that investment in human resources in West Java has not been done adequately. When high economic growth is not accompanied by a proportional increase in welfare, this indicates that economic growth, processes and benefits have not spread evenly due to social problems. Therefore we need  a regional development program which are focused on accelerating development in areas where social, cultural, economic, regional finance, accessibility, and infrastructure availability conditions are still lagging behind other regions. The purpose of this study is to classify districts and cities in West Java based on a number of criteria in order to provide recommendations to the West Java government regarding the policies that need to be carried out. The usefulness of this research is to provide scientific references for the West Java government in making policies. The data used are secondary data collected by the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia. Using the main biplot’s component analysis, a map of regencies and cities is grouped based on a number of criteria as a basis for decision making.
