Decision Support System for Determining COVID-19 Aid Recipients using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) Method

Abstract

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant social and economic impacts in various countries, including in XYZ Village. To assist in determining the appropriate recipients for COVID-19 aid, this research develops a decision support system using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. The system takes into account several important criteria, such as income level, health condition, and other urgent needs. The data of potential recipients are analyzed using the SAW method to generate rankings and facilitate the decision-making process. In its implementation in XYZ Village, this decision support system is expected to assist relevant parties in formulating policies and allocating COVID-19 aid more efficiently and accurately.
