Abstract

Gaharu is a blackish colored wood produced by a number of tree species from the genusAquilaria,especiallyAquilaria Malaccensis. This type is used in the fragrance industry (perfume and clover) because it has a fragrant aroma. Gaharu is a commodity of non-timber forest products (HHBK) which is quite reliable, especially when viewed from its very special price when compared to other NTFPs. A simple decision support system (DSS) can be defined as a computer-based system that is used to make it easier to make decisions. The decision-making ability used by the community is still conventional in determining suitable land for gaharu planting, without a model to assist the assessment process. Based on the results of research conducted using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method with three samples of land and the type of gaharu to be planted isAquilaria Malaccensis, which refers to several indicators including soil type, soil pH, altitude, rainfall, and temperature. land C with a value of 0.42.
