摘要：Poverty mapping plays a very important role in giving a visual representation of
the intensity of poverty incidence by geographic area. This study tries to group
Romanian counties taking into account several indicators that describe the
various dimensions of poverty. The method used for grouping is cluster
analysis. The main objective of this paper is to show how
poverty mapping using cluster analysis can be employed as a tool to identify
homogenous poverty clusters of counties and help to reduce poverty by necessary
resource allocation. Thus, the policy-makers can easily detect the most poverty
affected areas and the poverty’s specific in these areas and can be guided to
target the poor for the best resource allocation to alleviate poverty.
