Abstract

Due to its health and productivity effects, home drinking water is a global issue. Despite being a critical sustainable development aim, Indonesian families have not received specialized attention for improved drinking water sources. This issue demands identifying regions at risk of restricted access to better household drinking water. Regional variables and socioeconomic and demographic considerations affect this vulnerability. This study analyze socio-economic and demographic clusters of vulnerable Indonesian home drinking water sources. This study analyze Indonesia's 2019 National Socioeconomic Survey (SUSENAS) data using fuzzy geographically weighted clustering (FGWC) with ABC optimization. The result shows that the partition (SC) index and goal function classified Indonesia's regencies and cities into four clusters. Significant disparities in home drinking water source characteristics were detected among these clusters. The data also show how Indonesian clusters are physically dispersed differently. This research should help focus and implement household drinking water programs that take regional differences into account. © 2026 Elsevier Ltd.
