Many local governments now prioritize human development when trying to raise the standard of living and welfare of their citizens. Developing effective development policies in West Java, one of Indonesia's most populous provinces, requires a thorough understanding of human development patterns in various districts and cities. Using the Human Development Index (HDI) as the primary indicator, we examine regional development patterns in this study using machine learning techniques, specifically clustering analysis. This study's scope includes an HDI analysis for each of West Java's 27 districts and cities from 2017 to 2022. Finding clusters of districts or cities with comparable human development traits and comparing and contrasting them are our primary goals. We provide a solution that allows for improved mapping and comprehension of human development patterns in West Java by utilizing the Python programming language as the primary tool and the K-Means clustering algorithm. The study's findings indicate that there are three major categories of districts and cities, each with a distinct human development pattern. By using clustering analysis, we can determine which districts or cities within each group have the highest and lowest levels of human development. This information helps policymakers plan more inclusive and sustainable development. In conclusion, a clustering analysis approach based on machine learning can be a helpful tool for understanding and creating more focused and efficient regional development policies in West Java and other areas.
