Abstract

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which began in 2000 with 8 goal points, have not been able to solve the global problems. The MDGs were developed into Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 with 17 targeted goal points achieved in 2030. Until now, methods for determining the priority of SDGs are still attractive to researchers. Centrality measure is one of the tools in determining the priority goal points on a network by using graph theory. There are four measurements of centrality used in this paper, namely degree centrality, betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, and eigenvector centrality. The calculation results obtained from the four measurements are compared dan analyzed, to conclude which goal points are the most prior and the least prior. Furthemore, in this paper we present other example with simple graph to show that each different centrality calculation possibly resulted different priority node, the calculation of this illustration is done using a Python’s library named NetworkX
