🎓 Educational Fund Allocation DSS - Papua Pegunungan (AHP-TOPSIS)

A Decision Support System (DSS) for determining priority allocation of educational infrastructure funding in Papua Pegunungan Province using integrated Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and TOPSIS methods.

🔗 Access Application: edu-fund-decision.vercel.app

📌 Background

Papua Pegunungan Province faces complex educational infrastructure disparities due to extreme geographical factors. With limited budgets, an objective decision-making mechanism is needed to ensure funding is allocated precisely to districts requiring urgent intervention.

🛠️ Methodology

The system operates in two main stages:

1. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP): Used to calculate relative importance weights of criteria through pairwise comparison matrices.
2. TOPSIS: Generates district rankings based on the closest distance from the positive ideal solution and the farthest distance from the negative ideal solution.

📊 Evaluation Criteria

There are 4 main criteria used (Academic Year 2022/2023 Data):

• C1: Classroom Condition (Cost): Percentage of damaged classrooms.
• C2: Libraries (Benefit): Number of school libraries in good condition.
• C3: Electricity Access (Cost): Percentage of schools without electricity access.
• C4: Computer Access (Benefit): Percentage of schools with computer facilities.

📝 Key Features

• 4-Step Interactive Wizard: Criteria setup → AHP weighting → Data input → Ranking results.
• Visual Pairwise Comparison: Intuitive slider interface with 1-5 scale for criteria comparison.
• Integrated District Database: 8 Papua Pegunungan districts with real data (can be added/edited).
• Custom Districts: Add new districts with manual data entry.
• Calculation Transparency: Displays AHP weights and TOPSIS scores in detail.
• Ranking Visualization: Color-coded result cards based on priority level (Red = Top Priority).
• Responsive Design: Optimized for desktop and mobile devices.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• React 18 - UI library
• Vite - Build tool & dev server
• Tailwind CSS - Styling framework
• Lucide React - Icon library
• Vercel - Hosting & deployment

📱 How to Use the Application

1. Step 1 - Criteria Setup: Define name, description, and type (Benefit/Cost) for each criterion.
2. Step 2 - AHP Weighting: Compare importance levels between criteria using sliders.
3. Step 3 - Data Input: Enter infrastructure values for each district (or select from database).
4. Step 4 - View Results: The system will display funding allocation priority rankings with strategic recommendations.

🎯 Result Interpretation

• Low Preference Score (Ci) = District closer to worst condition → High Priority
• High Preference Score (Ci) = District closer to best condition → Low Priority

The district ranked #1 is the one most in need of immediate funding allocation.

📄 Disclaimer

Developed as a final project for Decision Support Systems (SIP 117), this application demonstrates a working proof of concept for AHP-TOPSIS implementation in educational policy planning. Its modular design provides substantial room for further development, including database integration, expanded functionality, and adaptation to other decision-making contexts.
