Abstract
One of the outdoor activities or mountaineering activities located in the mountainous region is one form of ecotourism that is much favored by many people, especially young people. Mountain climbing (mountain hiking) is one type of outdoor activity that is often done because there are so many mountains that are spread throughout most of the Indonesian archipelago. To anticipate subjective risks, beginner climbers are encouraged to do mountain climbing in groups, and adjust to the experience and abilities of climbers. This research developed decision support application for determining the best mountain climbing by using the web-based weighted product method. Weighted Product (WP) is a method used to solve the Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) problem, namely the method used in finding the most optimal alternative from several optimal alternatives with certain criteria. The application has been completed and is named "Hiking-Yuk!". The result of using the WP method is to display the best recommendations that can be used as material in the consideration and selection of mountains. Recommendations for the future Hiking-Yuk! website can be developed not only in the scope of the East Java, but can be developed for other mountains in other provinces.
Highlights
One of the outdoor activities or mountaineering activities located in the mountainous region is one form of ecotourism that is popular with many groups
The most common outdoor activities are mountain climbing because many mountains are scattered throughout the Indonesian archipelago (Cendana & Azhari, 2015)
For beginner climbers, choosing the right mountain to climb should be able to adjust to the experience of climbers and the ability of the climbers themselves to be able to anticipate the risks of subjective hazards, such as fatigue, lack of knowledge and experience of climbers
Summary
One of the outdoor activities or mountaineering activities located in the mountainous region is one form of ecotourism that is popular with many groups. (Ministry of Forestry, Statistics 2016: 88), at this time the number of mountain climbers is increasingly increasing, the high public interest in climbing activities has become so popular (Wardana, et al, 2015). The climbers must prepare physically, mentally, as well as information about the mountain knowledge that will be climbed such as can understand the level of difficulty of the terrain, field safety, and distance in climbing. Mountain climbing can be done alone or solo, but it is not recommended for beginner climbers because of the high level of difficulty and the need for teamwork (Lee, 2006). Mountain climbers who are connected in mountain climbing organizations will find it easier to find climbing friends than climbers who are not members of the organization
