Using Preference Selection Index for Design Decision Support System Selection of Farmers Group Recipients of Assistance

The South Sulawesi Province Food Security, Food Crops, and Horticulture Service in Indonesia distributed agricultural aid to several districts in South Sulawesi Province. Distributing aid is still being carried out by collecting agricultural data. After looking at the results of the data collection, the South Sulawesi Province Food Security, Food Crops and Horticulture Service saw that the land area and production yields were the least and needed to be assisted with agricultural equipment and superior seeds so that production results would be more significant. This study uses the Preference Selection Index method, which is used as a decision support system (DSS) because it can be used for multi-criteria and minimal and straightforward calculations based on statistical concepts without the need for weight attributes. As for the results of the research, the system that has been built can help determine selection decisions using the criteria of land age point, land area point, commodity point, production result point and previous aid point, which are processed by choosing multi-criteria and priority order so that all data is combined into one with the assessment weight that has been obtained through the assessment.
