methods. Scan Statistics is used to detect the hotspot area of an interest; and ORDIT is a method to rank areas based
on several variables. The factors (or variables) that be used in these study are the number of infant with low birth
weight, malnourished children under five, underfive mortality, maternal deaths, births without the help of health
personnel, infants without handling the baby's health, and babies without basic immunization in every public health
