DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR SELECTING BOARDING HOUSES IN SETIABUDI AREA JAKARTA USING SAW METHOD

Abstract

This study aims to build a decision support system for selecting a boarding house that helps the general public, especially students of the Perbanas Institute, determine a boarding house that fits the desired criteria in the area of Setiabudi Jakarta. The method used in this study is Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), with the criteria used being cost, distance, facilities, and room size. The study results indicate that the system has proven effective in helping to select a boarding house based on predetermined criteria and suitability with the desires of prospective buyers. The SAW method has proven robust and effective in developing a Decision Support System (DSS) for selecting a boarding house. The method's ability to handle multiple criteria, incorporate user preferences, and provide comparative analysis makes it valuable in helping individuals make boarding house choices.
