A DATA MINING APPROACH TO THAILAND URBANIZATION INDEX DEVELOPMENT

by Vichit Lorchirachoonkul, Jirawan Jitthavech and Duangpen Teerawanviwatp

The city index is typically developed from the researcher’s perspective and experience but in this paper the city index is developed from the data collected from local administrations in Thailand by data mining techniques. Evaluations show that the Logistic Regression and Decision Tree models can classify the local administration into city/town municipality, district municipality and district administration with the accuracy of more than 97.9 percent. The process of urbanization can be also observed from the study of classification.
