Abstract:
The selection of bujang and dara Pekanbaru City is one of the activities sponsored by
the Department of Culture and Tourism of Pekanbaru City. This event is organized as a
representation of the younger generation with all their abilities and talents to actively
participate and contribute to the community, particularly in the fields of culture,
tourism, and creative economy in the local area. The objective of this activity is to
strengthen the self-identity and cultural as well as tourism identity, thereby giving birth
to Bujang and Dara figures who possess integrity as Tourism Ambassadors, specifically
for Pekanbaru City. The selection of Bujang and Dara is not an easy task, considering
the number of participants who register, in order to find 12 finalist pairs. Hence,
specific criteria are required as qualifications for the selection of Bujang and Dara.
The goal of this research is to develop a decision support system for selecting the
Bujang Dara finalists of Pekanbaru City using the MOORA method, which aims to
facilitate the selection process and expedite the committee's task in choosing the top 12
finalist pairs. The research methodology includes data processing, data analysis, system
design, system implementation, and system testing. The data processing involves data
collection through observation and interviews, resulting in a total of 133 data points.
The data analysis phase includes determining criteria, generating alternative values,
performing normalization, followed by optimization, and finally ranking the 12 Bujang
and 12 Dara individuals based on the obtained values. The results obtained indicate
that the system is capable of producing optimized alternative values for Bujang and
Dara, ranked from the highest to the lowest, with the optimization values for Bujang
being 0.20949, 0.20720, 0.20621, 0.20535, 0.20419, 0.20409, 0.20333, 0.20316,
0.20316, 0.20311, 0.20229, and for Dara being 0.21131, 0.20936, 0.20926, 0.20813,
0.20676, 0.20629, 0.20534, 0.20460, 0.20384, 0.20368, 0.20368, 0.20134.
