3.4 Cluster Analysis (CA)
AHC was performed on the data collected from 274 transects in three
geographical locations (rural, rural–urban transitional, and urban)
within the TGDR. This test grouped the sites based on their RHI and
pressure indicator characteristics. The results categorized the sites
into three major cluster groups, with rural (A), rural–urban
transitional (B), and urban (C). The findings revealed that indices and
sub-indices revealed distinct traits for various land uses. The outcomes
are shown in Figure 8.
