The Prototype of Decision Support System For Selecting The Lands of Crops

There is a problem in the reduction of paddy fields and the effects caused by the reduced nutrient of paddy soils. There needs to be taken to maintain the sustainability of agricultural production. Strategic efforts are needed in the management of planting land with the aim that it can be utilized for the optimal development of agricultural crops. One way that can be done is to arrange the planting of paddy and crops in turn. To obtain optimal planting results, it is necessary to select land that is in accordance with the criteria for growing crops to be planted. In this research, a decision support system prototype was developed to help farmers or users in determining the planting land that was in accordance with the criteria for growing crops. Using the topsis method and the addition of an expert system to the decision support system, resulting in a choice of land alternatives in the ranking system. From the testing of functional, the correctness of process and the user acceptance level, it is known that the decision support system prototype work process for the land selection of crops has gone well according to the criteria for growing crops to be planted in the form of land ranking.
