APPLICATION OF FUZZY ANALYTICAL NETWORK PROCESS IN DETERMINING THE CHOICE OF AREAS OF INTEREST

Abstract

The Untan Statistics Study Program offers students a choice of areas of interest to develop competencies, attitudes, and skills. This study aims to analyze the decision to determine the choice of field of interest according to lecturers and students using the Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (FANP) method. A combination of ANP methods and Fuzzy logic, FANP is used to model and analyze complex networks of several factors determining the choice of areas of interest. The step in this study begins with the determination of the criteria and sub-criteria used for tissue formation. Then a comparison was carried out in pairs using the Fuzzy scale, so that the calculation of the global weight value of each criterion and sub-criteria was obtained. The resulting weight can be used for decision making. Data in research affects the opinions of lecturers and students. The decision obtained using the FANP method in this study is in the opinion of lecturers and students that the fields of business and finance are priority alternatives with the highest weight of 44.5%. The second priority with a weight of 37.5%, namely social and industrial interests, and the environmental and disaster sector occupies the last priority with a weight of 18%.
