本研究探讨了菲律宾马林杜克省村级贫困的空间格局及其潜在影响因素。利用已发表的地形、气候和社会经济变量，应用空间分析、普通最小二乘回归和地理权重回归（GWR）来确定该省贫困的模式和影响因素。根据研究结果，该省存在高-高和低-高贫困发生率集群。此外，在测试的18个变量中，只有5个变量对贫困发生率有显著影响。这些变量包括坡度、年降雨量、人口增长率、到城镇中心的距离以及到港口的距离。然而，GWR结果表明，这些变量对该省贫困的影响因村而异。坡度和年降雨量是对村级贫困率影响较大的两个变量，说明该省的贫困受当前农业生产力的影响较大。
This study explored the spatial pattern and potential determinants of village level poverty in the province of Marinduque, Philippines. Using published topographic, climatic, and socio-economic variables it applied spatial analysis, ordinary least squared regression, and geographically weight regression (GWR) to determine patterns and factors affecting poverty in the province. Based on the results, clusters of high-high and low-high poverty incidences were present in the province. Also, out of the 18 variables tested, only 5 variables showed significant effect on poverty incidence. These variables are slope, annual rainfall, population growth rate, distance to town centers, and distance to ports. However, GWR result showed that the impact of these variables to poverty in the province varies by villages. Slope and annual rainfall were the two variables that showed greater effect to village level poverty incidence suggesting that poverty in the province is highly influenced by its current agricultural productivity.
