Geographically Weighted Regression of Maternal Human Capital on Nutrition of Stunted Toddlers in Tin and Non-Tin Minning Areas

Abstract

The perspective of maternal human capital on stunted toddler nutrition has a different spatial relationship between tin mining and non-tin mining areas. This study will look at which spatial patterns of maternal human capital influence the nutrition of stunted children under five in tin-mining villages. This study uses primary data on 346 stunted children under five in Bangka Belitung Islands Province, Indonesia. The analysis used geographically weighted regression (GWR) by dividing mining and nonmining areas of Bangka Island and Belitung Island. Maternal human capital that spatially influences the nutrition of stunted toddlers in tin mining and non-mining areas is maternal knowledge about nutritious food. Maternal knowledge of a clean and healthy environment has a negative effect on the nutrition of stunted children under five in the non-mining area of Bangka Island. Maternal education and skills to diversify fish food have an effect on the nutrition of children under five years old in Belitung Island tin mining area. Mothers' skills in diversifying fish food affect the nutrition of stunted children under five in 11 villages in the non-tin-mining area of Belitung Island.
