In this paper, we define clusters of homogeneous Italian regions with respect to the evolution over time of well-being. In particular we identify three partitions of the Italian regions based on the yearly time series of the economic, social and environmental dimensions of the BES (equitable and sustainable well-being), in the period 2010–2016. The partitions are obtained using a Dynamic Time Warping-based Fuzzy C-Medoids clustering model for multivariate time series. The results show a territorial gap between northern and southern regions with respect to the economic, social and environmental dimensions. The central regions have a diversified behavior with respect to the different dimensions.

Abstract

In this paper, we define clusters of homogeneous Italian regions with respect to the evolution over time of well-being. In particular we identify three partitions of the Italian regions based on the yearly time series of the economic, social and environmental dimensions of the BES (equitable and sustainable well-being), in the period 2010–2016. The partitions are obtained using a Dynamic Time Warping-based Fuzzy C-Medoids clustering model for multivariate time series. The results show a territorial gap between northern and southern regions with respect to the economic, social and environmental dimensions. The central regions have a diversified behavior with respect to the different dimensions.
