Σύνοψη	Spatial Stratified Heterogeneity, commonly known as Geodetector, is a framework introduced by Jinfeng Wang and colleagues in 2010 for measuring and detecting spatial heterogeneity in data and identifying environmental risk factors. It quantifies the degree to which a given factor (variable) explains spatial variation in an outcome and is particularly valuable for environmental epidemiology, ecology, and geographical analysis where spatial non-stationarity is common.	Cluster sampling is a probability sampling technique in which the population is divided into naturally occurring groups (clusters), a random sample of clusters is selected, and all — or a random subset of — members within each selected cluster are studied. It is especially practical when a complete population list is unavailable or when units are geographically dispersed, making individual random selection prohibitively expensive. One-stage cluster sampling surveys every member of selected clusters; two-stage designs add a second random draw within clusters.
