Decision Support System Determining Types of Food Crops Based on Soil Content Using the SMART Method (Simple Multi Attribute Rating Technique) and McCall

Abstract

Utilization of decision support systems as a tool for decision makering that integrates directly with computer in providing information and solutions. This research implements the method of SMART (Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique), to calculate the criteria that become the benchmark for determination of the type of plant is appropriate based on the content soil. In building a Decision Support System using six criteria, namely hummus, regosol, alluvial, grumusol, andosol, and nitrogen. Testing the decision support factors to determine the type of plant-based on the soil as measured by McCall’s quality using 3 aspects of measurement. From the results 15 respondents obtained for the aspect of correctness with a value of 71.33%, the aspect of reliability with a value of 71.33%, reliability aspect with a value of 67.1%, and aspects of usability with a value of 48.27%. Overall, the test results from the 3 test aspects results obtained are 62.37%, which indicates this system has a good category and is worth to use.
