Pengaruh Alokasi Dana Desa (ADD) terhadap Tingkat Kemiskinan Masyarakat Desa Melalui Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Sebagai Variabel Intervening

This study aims to examine the effect of village fund allocation on poverty levels through economic growth. This research is an empirical study of districts/cities in the ten poorest provinces in Indonesia in 2021. This type of research is causal quantitative. The type of data used is secondary data. The secondary data used is data and information on village fund allocations, poverty rates and economic growth through the official BPS website and the village ministry. Methods of data analysis using Path Analysis (Path Analysis). The results of the research on the variable allocation of village funds with a probability value of 0.157 > 0.05, the allocation of village funds has a positive and insignificant effect on the poverty level of rural communities. The village fund allocation variable has a probability value of 0.375 > 0.05, so the village fund allocation has no positive and significant effect on economic growth. The economic growth variable with a probability value of 0.000 <0.05, means that economic growth has a negative and significant effect on the poverty level of rural communities. Hypothesis testing obtained a calculated t value = 1.1769 < t table 1.65 with a significance level of 0.05, so it can be concluded that the mediation coefficient is 0.030 and there is no intervening influence. The results obtained show that economic growth as an intervening variable has a positive and insignificant effect on the poverty level of rural communities.

Public knowledge, belief, and preventive practices regarding dengue: Findings from a community-based survey in rural Bangladesh.

Dengue fever, the most prevalent mosquito-borne viral infection, is a recurrent public health threat in Bangladesh. Despite the government's efforts, dengue outbreaks are on the upswing, and people's knowledge, belief, and preventive practices regarding the disease at the rural community level are unclear. The objective of this study was to assess the level of knowledge, belief and preventive practices regarding dengue and associated factors among community people from rural Bangladesh. A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 401 people using a convenient sampling technique from three unions of Savar from August to September 2021. Participants' responses were collected through face-to-face interviews using a pre-tested structured questionnaire that included information related to socio-demographics, dengue-related knowledge, preventive practices, and the health belief model (HBM) constructs. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with the knowledge and preventive practices of dengue. Overall, participants (mean age = 33.47 ± 12.96 years; age range = 18-75 years) correctly answered 66.15% of the knowledge questions regarding dengue. Higher education, travel to dengue-risk regions, and self-efficacy under the HBM construct were all shown to be strongly associated with dengue knowledge. Regarding HBM constructs, about 80% of the participants perceived dengue as dangerous, but less than half (41.4%) believed themselves susceptible to dengue. Considering perceived barriers, 73.07% of the participants believed their residential area was not suitable for Aedes mosquito breeding. Nearly all (93.52%) believed they always kept their surrounding area clean as part of self-efficacy. Moreover, on average participants engaged in 53.69% of all dengue preventive practices. Being older, female, having a higher education, being a service holder, having a good quality of house structure, and perceived susceptibility as well as self-efficacy under the HBM construct were all factors in participants' dengue prevention activities. Participants' dengue preventative practices were shown to be significantly influenced by their knowledge. The findings of this study found a moderate level of knowledge regarding dengue among the participants. Regarding dengue prevention, although participants scored highly in several indicators, the overall preventive practices were not satisfactory. This suggests that there is a pressing need for expanded education outreach aimed at increasing public awareness of dengue and encourage preventive practices within rural communities in Bangladesh.

Correlation of the Dietary Protein Intake between Those Estimated from a Short Protein Food-Recall Questionnaire and from 24-Hour Urinary Urea-Nitrogen Excretion in Stages 3-4 Chronic Kidney Disease Patients.

High protein intake may accelerate progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Estimation of dietary protein intake (DPI) is indispensable for management of CKD, but to achieve optimum DPI is quite challenging in routine clinical practice. We recently studied a beneficial effect of utilizing integrated care on the management of CKD at the rural community level. In that study, we created a short protein food-recall questionnaire (S-PFRQ) as a working tool to estimate DPI of the CKD patients during home visit by community health personnel. Herein, we reported the initial evaluation of the reliability of S-PFRQ from our previous study. We compared the amount of DPI obtained from S-PFRQ with that obtained from protein-equivalent of total nitrogen appearance (PNA). In the previous ESCORT-2 study, 914 patients with CKD stage 3 or 4, who were living in the rural area of Thailand, were prospectively followed while receiving integrated care for 36 consecutive months. During home visits by community nurses from subdistrict health centers, dietary food recall was made, recorded in S-PFRQ, and DPI was obtained. Among these, sixty patients were randomly selected, and 24-h urine was collected for urinary urea-N and estimation of PNA. A correlation was made between DPI obtained from S-PFRQ and PNA. The DPIs derived from S-PFRQ and PNA were 28.8 ± 14.8 and 39.26 ± 17.79 g/day, respectively. The mean difference and 95% CI between the 2 methods was -10.43 (-7.1 to -13.8) g/day, respectively (P < 0.001). Interclass correlation between these 2 methods was 0.24, P = 0.007. The difference between the 2 methods remained constant across different amounts of DPI. The DPI estimated from S-PFRQ significantly correlated to that from PNA. However, the S-PFRQ method yielded a DPI value which was about 10 g of protein or 25% less than the PNA method. Despite this amount of difference, this S-PFRQ is user-friendly and could be used during field work as an easy and simple tool for DPI estimation in resource-limiting condition.

Two Decades of Civil Society Activism and Advocacy: Navigating the Labyrinth of the Development and Security Agenda in Southwestern Nigeria

In the last two decades of democratic governance in Nigeria, the civil society organizations (CSOs), which form a large group of vocational, social, political, cultural, educational, and religious volunteer activists, are reputed for building local capacity and advocating with and for the poor, with a relatively visible impact on policy and practice. This paper builds on existing literature concerning how the empirical realm of civil society, to which advocacy is most directly related, has been utilized within the three different components of a comprehensive advocacy strategy– transformational (citizen empowerment), developmental (civil society strengthening) and instrumental (policy influence). Drawing from the perspectives of multi-sectoral, territorial, and local approaches, the paper also examines how development partners, practitioners and researchers can actively enhance civil society's resilience and sustainability to influence pro-poor policies and promote the developmental agenda in southwestern Nigeria. It specifically focuses on the mechanism for connecting the objectives and resources developed by Nigeria's six southwestern states through their Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN) commission at the regional level as they relate to the problems and priorities that apply at the rural community level where the majority of the citizens reside.

Public Management of Employment at the Level of Territorial Communities in the Context of Ensuring the Development of Rural Areas

United territorial communities were formed by voluntary unification of adjacent territorial communities of villages, towns, and cities. The availability, working conditions, and the level and quality of life of the population of rural communities significantly affect the development possibilities of rural areas. Problematic issues are the growth of unemployment, the demographic crisis, the intensive outflow of young people from the countryside, etc. The primary issue for anti-crisis public administration in rural areas (at the level of rural territorial communities and rural districts) is ensuring employment and self-employment of the population, increasing the level of labor income of the rural population. The low capacity of the labor market in rural territorial communities determines the need for the population to find work outside their place of residence and, in this connection, the presence of significant financial costs. The introduction of new types of activities and areas of employment for residents of the rural community must meet the needs of the market and be economically feasible, because otherwise public policy measures to support such types of employment will have a short-term nature and insignificant results. The tools of the public employment policy are: unemployment benefits, insurance of the population against job loss; assistance in professional training and retraining of personnel, conducting advanced training courses, organization and regulation of labor exchanges, public employment services; regulation of the wage level, regularization of the dismissal of employees; subsidies and benefits from tax accounting for entrepreneurs, regarding the creation of new and preservation of old jobs. Public management of employment at the level of the territorial community should be aimed at ensuring the possibility of effective economic activity of the residents of the community. At the same time, they should receive sufficient financial support to motivate work. This requires: creation of procurement points with a wide range of products with the participation of territorial communities; combining them into a procurement network; active cooperation with public administration bodies; networks of procurement points to international supply chains; ensuring their access to foreign food markets.

Exploring the associations between behavioral health risk factors, abnormal eating attitudes and socio-demographic factors among Chinese youth: Survey of 7,984 vocational high school students in Hunan in 2020.

This study investigated the associations between behavioral health risk factors (anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, drinking, smoking) and abnormal eating attitudes among Chinese vocational high school students (CVHSS). Potential moderating relationships were also explored with relevant socio-demographic factors of the student's age, sex, rural or urban community, household income, family type and educational level of the father and mother. A total of 7,984 students from three vocational high schools in Hunan, China completed a questionnaire about their socio-demographic characteristics, alcohol use, smoking, and symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress (21-item version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale), insomnia (8-item Athens Insomnia Scale), and abnormal eating attitudes (19-item Chinese version of Eating Attitudes Test). The prevalence rates for behavioral health problems among these students ranged widely depending on the risk factor: 42.5% insomnia, 41.3% anxiety, 26.2% depression, 14.4% stress, 13.7% drinking, and 8.3% smoking. Additionally, 61.7% of students were at-risk for at least one of these six behavioral health disorders. Abnormal eating attitudes were associated with depression (r = 0.422), anxiety (r = 0.490), stress (r = 0.490), and insomnia (r = 0.375), with all of these relationships being significant (p < 0.01) and large size statistical effects. However, other analyzes found that none of the socio-demographic background factors had meaningful associations with the behavioral health risk factors (0 of 28 tests) and very few background factors were associated with the abnormal eating attitude measures (only 3 of 35 tests). Females had higher levels than males on dieting and bulimia but not on the other two eating attitude components. This study determined that behavioral health risk factors (sleep problems and anxiety in particular) were common among high school students in China and that mental health and sleep disorder risks also tended to co-occur in some students with abnormal eating attitudes. Therefore, prevention and early identification programs for behavioral risk factors are needed for this population. It is important to pay more attention to students with abnormal eating attitude-related symptoms, who may have also underlying mental health problems and need further evaluation.

Financial Literacy and Inclusion on Consumption in Indonesian Rural Communities

Financial inclusion and literacy are government efforts to increase economic growth for the welfare of its people. The level of community welfare can be seen through household consumption expenditures. Rural communities in Indonesia have a larger number than those in urban areas. Based on these problems, this study aimed to determine the impact of rural community financial literacy and inclusion on consumption levels. The data used were based on the results of IFLS 5 in 2014 with a total sample of 1,585 individuals. The method used in the analysis was the Tobit regression model. The results showed that the variables had a significant effect on the consumption level of rural communities were ownership of savings, financial literacy, market access, income, ownership of assets in the form of houses and buildings, and age. Meanwhile, the insignificant variables were ownership of loans, poverty, and ownership of assets in the form of land. From these results, it can be seen that the consumption pattern of rural communities in Indonesia does not depend on loans, but on financial literacy, income, and market access.

Review of methodologies for research uptake in eco-health projects conducted in rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa

This review analyses research uptake methods which have been used by researchers in sub-Saharan Africa to determine which methods are effective for communities. The key area of thestudy is research uptake methods applicable at rural community level. The study analyses howeffective these methods are in getting research findings adopted by the community, stirringbehaviour change and raising awareness about a problem. The review makes recommendationsfor research projects that seek to conduct research uptake in the rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa.A systematic search for articles was done using Medline, PubMed and Google Scholar. Articleson the uptake of eco-health research findings at a community level were screened and analysedusing narrative synthesis. Results showed that strategies involving media, educational materialsand interpersonal communication with the communities worked most effectively. Some examplesof these were use of radio programmes, film productions, community theatre, field workers,community meetings, educational programmes, peer education and point of care displays. Thestudy concluded that to enhance research uptake in communities, innovative methods whichcapture the context of the communities involved need to be used. Selected strategies should usethe eco-health approach, engage the community and incorporate indigenous knowledge systems.

Detection Of Treatment Adherence, Disease Control and Its Predictors in Asthma Patients by Rural Community Level Health Workers

Background: Despite the availability of effective therapy, disease control in Asthma remains suboptimal with high morbidity.&#x0D; Objectives: To assess treatment adherence, asthma control and its influencing factors.&#x0D; Methodology: A prospective, observational study was conducted among 152 adult asthma patients reporting consecutively to a BPHC for twelve months. Patients were followed up by trained healthcare workers to assess their treatment adherence and disease control using a predesigned, pretested and validated questionnaire.&#x0D; Results: Mean age was 49.6 years (SD = +14.0), males reported more cases (73.7%), addiction to tobacco was high (48.7%). 40.8% patients had high treatment adherence. Only 37.5% patients reported good asthma control of which 68.4% showed high adherence. The mean Asthma Control Test (ACT) score was 18.75 ± 4.8 SD. Increasing age (aOR=0.96, 95% CI= 0.93-0.99), tobacco smoking (aOR=2.90, 95% CI=1.20-6.99), dust allergy (aOR= 7.92, CI =3.15-19.91) and low treatment adherence (aOR=5.33, 95% CI=2.22-12.82) were found to be significant predictors of poor disease control.&#x0D; Conclusions: Non adherence to treatment and poor disease control were high among rural asthma patients. Patient education for tobacco cessation and treatment compliance along with periodic monitoring undertaken by trained health workers can be an effective strategy to reduce disease burden in the community.

Predictive modelling of a rapid stratified bed filter for turbidity removal from surface water

The objective of the present work was to evaluate the hydrodynamic behaviour of a stratified bed filtration column consisting of 4 cm of sand and 2 cm of limestone to remove turbidity and measuring the head loss through the filter in several runs. In this study, two types of sand were used as filtering bed material, one fine and one medium. Crushed limestone was also available. These materials were characterized to determine the average particle diameter, porosity, and permeability coefficient. These were respectively 1.7∙10 –4 m, 336.96 and 0.68 m∙day –1 for fine sand, 3.3∙10 –4 m, 654.24 and 2.59 m∙day –1 for the medium sand and 1.26∙10–3 m, 388.8 and 8.64 m∙day–1 for crushed limestone. Using these materials, hydrodynamic analyses were carried out using clean water under rapid filtration conditions. In these analyses, different filtration rates were determined to be used in each experiment. Once the filtration rates were determined, the filtration analysis was performed with synthetic turbid water prepared at 8 NTU using tap water and bentonite. From the results obtained, a predictive model was developed based on total head losses for the evaluated filter, maintaining the rapid filtration condition. As a result, a turbidity removal efficiency of 97.7% was obtained with a total head loss of 17.8 cm at a filtration rate of 153 m·day –1. The developed model predicted head loss as a function of operating time, filtration rate, and filter depth to maximise turbidity removal. The model showed excellent prediction accuracy with R2 of 0.9999, which indicates that the model predictions are not biased. It was concluded that, due to the porosity of these materials, a stratified bed of sedimentary rocks has a great potential to be used in surface water filtration processes, which implies that it could be used at the rural community level as a form of water treatment, since the

Impact of migrant and returning farmer professionalization on food production diversity

Since the 2000s, there has been an increasing number of returning and migrant farmers across China. In 2012, China initiated a program for fostering professional farmers, which has caused greater changes for farmers and led to an agricultural shift towards commercial production. Migration has been recognized as a crucial factor affecting the diversity of agricultural production. However, scant attention has been paid to how different types of farmers influence agricultural diversification. Therefore, this study examines the influence of migrant farmers, returning farmers, and local non-migrant farmers on food production diversity. This study collected farm-level data on food production and farmers’ characteristics and applied a negative binomial regression model to estimate the impacts of different types of farmers on agricultural development. The results show that farms operated by migrant farmers had a significantly lower level of food production diversity while farms operated by returning farmers had no significant difference in food production diversity, using farms operated by local non-migrant farmers as the reference category. The variation in agricultural production diversity lies in differences in food production purposes, agricultural and market skills, and various risk-related capacities among the different types of farmers. Farm-level production specialization does not necessarily reduce food diversity and agrobiodiversity at the rural community and regional level.

Social entrepreneurship in tourism: a chance for rural communities

The article argues that enterprises that develop the tourism sector in rural territorial communities have the characteristics of social enterprises and meet the threefold criterion – they ensure the well-being of residents of rural settlements. Ukrainian legislation gives local governments broad powers to plan and finance tourism activities, but their capacities are very limited as most rural budgets are subsidized. It is possible to promote tourism in rural communities only if the majority of residents are aware of all the benefits and responsibilities associated with this activity. The article confirms that uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources can lead to their irreversible depletion. The example of ski resorts shows that the practice of a single economic activity for the whole area poses a threat to local communities, as the well-being of residents becomes very dependent on natural and climatic conditions. The article emphasizes that the maximum use of available local resources is an important factor in the success of social entrepreneurship in tourism at the level of rural communities. In order to avoid conflicts when planning business, it is necessary to take into account the natural and anthropic resources of each community and compare the forms of their use with local values and traditions. Differences in the results of the impact on the local community as a result of the activities of the classic and social tourism enterprise on its territory are analyzed. The main vectors of the impact of social entrepreneurship in tourism on the social aspects of rural areas are highlighted.

Co-producing knowledge with family farming organizations: a citizen science observatory in Santarém, Brazilian Amazon

This data paper presents a survey conducted in a participatory manner in the territory of Santarém, in the Brazilian Amazon. The aim is to understand how global changes are affecting family farmers. In the study area, family farming has been confronted over the past 20 years with the rapid expansion of large-scale monocultures, especially soybean. As part of the Odyssea socio-environmental observatory, academic researchers and family farming organizations entered into a partnership to co-produce data that could be strategically useful for these organizations. A process of co-construction of the expectations allowed priorities to be established and the data collection strategy to be defined. Three levels of analysis were chosen in order to allow an integrated understanding of the dynamics of change: the Santarem Plateau territory, the rural community level (living place recognized by the farmers) and the farmers’ households. Twenty-one farmers, called community researchers, organized in 3 teams, applied a questionnaire through the KoboCollect smartphone application to 544 families in the municipalities of Santarém, Mojuí dos Campos and Belterra. Meetings were previously held in the rural communities and questionnaires were applied with representatives of 32 communities. Data was collected between April and June 2019. The community researchers and academic researchers then came together for two collective sessions of data analysis and interpretation in July and October 2019. Data was standardized and cleaned using SPSS software, between September and December 2019. The metadata and databases are available on the CIRAD dataverse.

Food yard program in urban and rural areas of South Kalimantan

The participation of community groups that receive P2L programs affects the success of the program. The research aims to find out: 1) The participation level of rural and urban communities in the P2L at South Kalimantan. 2) The differences in the participation level communities in P2L. 3) The factor that affected the community participation in P2L. Determination of respondents through simple random sampling based on Krejcie and Morgan's table. The data were analyzed descriptively using Mann Whitney Wilcoxon to determine the difference in the participation level of the communities and Spearman rank correlation to determine factors related to community participation. This research showed that 1) The participation level of communities in the P2L program was in the high category. 2) The score of community groups' participation in rural areas was higher than in urban areas, but there is no significant difference between participation in those communities. 3) Factors related to the participation of community groups in the P2L in community areas were education level, knowledge and skills of plant cultivation, family food sources, size of the home yard, family income, and risk-taking activities. In contrast, the factor of understanding the P2L only related to community participation in urban areas.

УПРОВАДЖЕННЯ АСПЕКТІВ СТАЛОГО РОЗВИТКУ У СФЕРІ СІЛЬСЬКОГО ТУРИЗМУ В УКРАЇНІ

Features of rural tourism are considered within the concepts of sustainable development and sustainable tourism development. Possibilities of assessing the degree of implementation of aspects of sustainability at the level of the tourism process participants are highlighted. The monitoring of the state of achievement of the goals of sustainable tourism development is platformed by the survey of owners of rural hospitable estates in Ukraine – members of the NGO “Union for Promotion of Rural Green Tourism Development in Ukraine”, providing for the initial assessment of the implementation of aspects of sustainable development in the field of rural tourism in Ukraine. The latter allowed us to identify the main sociodemographic indicators of the owners of rural hospitable estates in Ukraine and their farmsteads. The analysis of the level of estate owners’ acknowledgment of the concept and goals of sustainable development, the study of the nature of the use of hired labor by the owners of rural hospitable estates, the level of implementation of aspects of environmental friendliness and responsible consumption serve to reveal the state, opportunities, and prospects of cooperation of rural hospitable estates with other participants of the tourist process. It was found that the owners of estates not only have a common understanding of the concept of sustainability and its relevance but also actively endeavor to implement certain aspects of sustainability in the provision of rural tourism services. Highlighted criteria for sustainability of rural hospitality services – economic (profitability, demand, stable tourist flows, expansion of activities, etc.), sociocultural (cooperation and partnership, cluster interaction, preservation of local traditions, opportunities for learning and personal development, etc.) and environmental (waste management, responsible consumption of resources, etc.). The current needs and mechanisms of further acquaintance of the owners of rural hospitable estates with the issues of sustainable development are determined. Identified ways to ensure more sustainable activities for the provision of rural tourism services at different levels – the level of rural hospitable estate, community level and state level as elements of a complex, continuous and multifaceted process.

Environmental Characteristics of HIV/AIDS Affected Households in a Nigerian Rural Community.

A study of environmental attributes of HIV/AIDS affected households in Ijesa region, Nigeria (N = 297). Data from both primary and secondary sources were used to establish the relationship between socio-economic and environmental characteristics at different rural community zones; namely traditional core, post traditional and contemporary. There were more female HIV/AIDS patients, located in traditional core zones (78.1%) with high house density, living in shared apartments where residents shared sleeping and bath/toilet rooms. Thus, rape was significantly associated with the design and habitation density of households. In addition, widowhood, young age, informal education, menial jobs and unemployment of patients did not correlate with most environmental variables related to HIV/AIDS in contemporary zone compared with traditional zone. However, wealth status and quality education in relation to good housing environment and decent house density were significant in contemporary zone respectively. The study concluded that policies on HIV/AIDS prevalence at rural community level should focus more on high density areas having poor socio-economic and environmental characteristics.

Development of a community system for water reclamation from grey water in Gujba: a conceptual method

Water scarcity and pollution have been a reality in many African countries. Reclaimed greywater reuse for non-potable purpose such as toilet flushing and irrigation are among the options to reduce the consumption of potable water and control environmental pollution. However, developing reliable and sustainable reclamation system at the rural community level is always a challenge. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the short term performance of a rice husk for greywater reclamation in Gujba, Nigeria. Results of the questionnaire survey indicated that maximum greywater generation was 720l/day per household. About 95% of the people have indicated social acceptability for reclaimed greywater reuse. Turbidity and total suspended solids of the greywater were 427.6NTU and 5.84 Mg/l respectively. Rice husk, rice husk charcoal and granular activated carbon were examined at rapid and slow flows of 3.207L/h and 0.534L/h respectively. The average removal efficiencies of rice husk for turbidity and total suspended solids were 81.81% and 86.47% respectively.

Towards sustainable water resource management in rural Nigeria: The role of communities

Access to water is crucial for healthy living and survival. In developing countries such as Nigeria, rural communities often suffer from a severe shortage of the supply of fresh, potable water. The need to change the tide has led to the inclusion of the adequate availability of water for allas one of the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Evidence shows that the lack or poor supply of freshwater could lead to a prevalence of waterborne diseases and might negatively affect economically important activities. While water sustainability deals with ensuring adequate supply of water for the present and future generations, water resource management is the strategy for achieving water sustainability. Considering the above, this article examines the literature on water resource management vis-à-vis the legal framework for water management in Nigeria. The article notes that rural communities in the country have a critical role to play in water resource management in the country and in the quest to attain the goals for water. It is recommended that policies should be implemented to provide for sustainable management of water as well as a strategy for educating rural communities on what they must do to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals for water management in Nigeria at the rural community level. For example, there is a need to provide for private sector led water development projects in rural areas backed by government subsidy as well as programmes to enlighten community leaders on their role in ensuring water sustainability.&#x0D; Keywords: Water, access to water, legal framework for water management, rural area, SDGs, Nigeria.

Klasifikasi Kab Kota Provinsi Jawa Barat Berdasarkan Pendapatan Dari Sektor Pertanian Dengan Algoritma Decision Tree

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The welfare level of rural communities, especially the province of West Java, especially those living away from the cities, can not be separated from the primary revenue is in the agriculture sector. The agricultural industry covers many industries and still many lives under the poverty line. Because facilities and financing are still minimal from the local government. Given the root of the problem is that almost all villages in the city district do not have the correct data, accurate and precise about the condition of the issues and potential of the village-owned&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;. This research is expected to be the wrong way to know the future development opportunities by analyzing the revenue data from the agriculture sector to better decision making. And this data processing technique can be implanted for the local government to measure the success of its agriculture. The selection of features in this study is to use the Decision Tree algorithm to classify data automatically. After this research, the Accuracy of 90% obtained.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keywords&lt;strong&gt;: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;DataMining, classification, Decision Tree, agriculture&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
