Description

The United Nations has set Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to build a more sustainable future. The SDG analyzes progress to understand major implementation challlenges, define disparities across nations or regions, and propose priorities for action. It has 17 objectives and more than 200 indicators. Cluster analysis was used to categorize the 10 municipalities. It was carried out using IBM SPSS software, which calculated the Euclidean distance and put the investigated regions into clusters with the traits they shared the most in common.
