Abstract

The objective of this research is to study the waste amount in Bangkok from January, 2007 to August, 2016 with cluster analysis. The results of study reveal cluster analysis is able to divide the areas of waste amount in Bangkok into two clusters. Cluster one shows the areas of high waste amount (Central, South and East Bangkok). Cluster two shows the areas of less waste amount (North Bangkok, North and South Krungthon). South Bangkok was then analyzed with cluster analysis because it was the highest waste amount. There were two groups of  South Bangkok.
