Abstract

Poverty is a problem that continues to be the focus of attention for the government. Poverty has also caused people to be willing to sacrifice anything for their survival. To anticipate this problem, various policies have been adopted by the government to break the chain of poverty. One of them is providing assistance funds to poor families (PKH). This is felt directly by all levels of underprivileged society. One of the efforts of the Koto Ranah Tapan government to eradicate poverty that occurs in Koto Ranah Tapan is to follow the central government program, namely the launch of government financial assistance (PKH). These funds will be distributed to poor residents in Koto Ranah Tapan through the nagari guardian office in Koto Ranah Tapan. However, the distribution of aid funds to poor families is often not on target due to a large level of manual calculation error which makes the aid not on target and also the office of the nagari village of high cliff village has not been able to objectively determine the families who receive the aid. To help determine which families are worthy of receiving poor family assistance funds, a decision support system is needed. With this Decision Support System (DSS), it is hoped that the decision-making process can minimize the occurrence of wrong targets that often arise in the process of selecting poor families who wish to receive aid funds . In this calculation the author uses the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method, because this method is suitable for accurate calculations and is very helpful in calculating any data obtained. The results obtained were that Ade Irma Suryani got the highest score with a score of 10.8 and was ranked at the top (Best 1), so she could be considered the best recipient of aid funds.
