7. CONCLUSION
According to ORDIT analysis with five and three indicators and
sal5 & sal3 as indicators, the most severe districts of infant health
are districts 90 and 87. The least severe districts are district 73,
31, and 35 (all are cities). The most severe districts are in West
Java. The two least severe districts are cities in Central Java and
one least severe (best) district is a city in East Java. The least
severe areas are city type districts. The most severe districts (90
and 87) are also confirmed by the ULS method as the worst
districts for infant health. These districts are in the hotspots area
of three indicators. To improve infant health in Java, the
government, especially the Health Department should give more
attention to districts 90 (Indramayu) and 87 (Cirebon) which are
the worst districts for infant health. Hopefully through this study,
ORDIT ranking and ULS hotspot detection methods will be
recognized to be useful micro tools to support decision makers in
the e-governance.
