The objectives of this study are to develop geographically weighted (GW) non-negative principal components analysis (PCA) and to explore spatial variations of contributions to a multidimensional composite index (MCI) from spatial multidimensional data. As a case study, we produced a MCI for earthquake risk in Tokyo, Japan, in 2018 from the collapse risk of buildings, the fire risk, and the evacuation risk associated with earthquake. GW non-negative PCA was applied to these data to uncover spatial variation of non-negative weightings (eigenvectors). This study demonstrates GW non-negative PCA provides more informative outputs when considering local differences of contributions of multidimensional data to the composite index.
