Abstract

This study analyzes the integration of Al-Khawarizmi’s algorithmic principles into the K-Means clustering algorithm through a case study of household electricity access in Indonesia (2024). Employing a quantitative approach and algorithmic analysis, secondary data from BPS were classified using K-Means to group regions based on their levels of electricity accessibility. The findings reveal that key principles inherited from Al-Khawarizmi—such as systematic reasoning, structural simplification, applied rationality, and a quantitative-logical framework—contribute significantly to shaping the procedural logic of K-Means, enhancing the clarity and efficiency of data classification. This integration not only improves segmentation quality and result interpretability but also introduces a transhistorical perspective that bridges classical Islamic scientific heritage with contemporary data analysis practices. The study further contributes to ethical and epistemological discourse by emphasizing the incorporation of distributive justice (‘adl) into algorithmic design. These insights advance the development of a cross-civilizational, value-based computing paradigm and open avenues for future research into algorithms that are both technically robust and socially equitable.
